Study trip in Budapest

Učenici od 5. do 8. razreda su, sa svojim odeljenjskim starešinama, posetili Budimpeštu u okviru studijskog putovanja. Po dolasku u grad, obišli smo Trg heroja, a zatim smo se uputili u kompleks Vajdahunjadi zamka, koji je replika doma grofa Drakule iz Transilvanije. U obilasku Muzeja poljoprivrede, najvećeg muzeja te vrste u Evropi, đaci su pokazali odlično poznavanje biljnog i životinjskog sveta, kao i oruđa kojim se čovek ranije služio. Zgrada Parlamenta ostavila je i na učenike i na nastavnike poseban utisak. Kako je treći u svetu, a drugi u Evropi po veličini, svojim izgledom, arhitekturom i enterijerom, zadivio je sve. Zatim je predstavljen spomenik „Cipele na obali Dunava”. Prešavši preko Lančanog mosta, fotografisali smo se ispred Budimske palate. Nakon šetnji po gradu, a pre polaska za Tavankut, uputili smo se u Tropikarijum, gde smo imali prilike da vidimo ajkule, meduze, raže... Umorni ali srećni, krenuli smo kućama. Doživljaji i anegdote iz Budimpešte prepričavaće se do sledećeg putovanja. You look at the picture gallery.

Visiting Usora

Predstavnici škole boravili su u poseti Usori i Osnovnoj školi „Ivan fra Frano Jukić” u Bosni i Hecegovini. Prisustvovali smo promociji knjige Mirka Jeleča „Trun u oku” održanoj u Opštoj biblioteci - Usora. Pozdravila nas je i srdačnu dobrodošlicu poželela direktorka biblioteke, Daliborka Matošević. O knjizi ovog bosanskohercegovačkog pisca su govorili i svoje viđenje izneli: pesnikinja i doktorantkinja književnosti Naida Mujkić, novinar Miralem Begić, kao i sam autor - Mirko Jeleč. Bilo je ovo divno druženje protkano kulturom, emocijom i pisanim slovom. Narednog dana prisustvovali smo programu proslave Dana škole i uživali u priredbi koju su pripremili učenici i nastavnici škole. U prijatnoj atmosferi razgovarali smo sa direktorkom škole - Ivanom Matić i prosvetnim savetnikom - Slobodanom Krajinom.
U društvu divnih domaćina obišli smo crkvu Svetog Ante u Sivši, stolnu usorsku crkvu, a zatim i stari grad Tešanj i gradinu iznad Tešnja gde smo čuli priče o nastanku same tvrđave koju čine dve celine: Gornji grad iz srednjovekovnog perioda i Donji grad nastao u osmanskom periodu. Posetu smo nastavili obilazeći staru begovsku kuću - Eminagića konak, koja je bila u upotrebi sve do 1970. godine, a krajem XX veka je restaurirana i danas svedoči o duhu prošlih vremena. Zahvaljujemo se domaćimima na gostoprimstvu i nadamo se skorom susretu i nastavku saradnje. You look at the picture gallery.

The action of collecting corks continued.

The students and employees of our school continued the tradition of collecting plastic caps for recycling and contributed to the ecological humanitarian action Corks for Smile, which aims to purchase aid for children with developmental disabilities. By involving students in such activities, we develop empathy, which is crucial for creating compassion for others.

Firefighters

Safety is important to everyone, so even the youngest must have at least basic knowledge of how to protect themselves in dangerous situations. That's why a representative of the Fire Department from Subotica visited our school. He gave a lecture on safety to the students in the lower grades. He first introduced the children to the fact that firefighters are also rescuers. They act in cases of fire, earthquake, flood, and other dangerous situations in which we can find ourselves. He explained in detail how to act in any of these situations so as not to endanger ourselves and others, and how we can help the firefighters and rescuers do their jobs as well as possible. The children actively participated in the lecture, presenting their experiences in similar situations. The lecture was instructive for everyone. We also learned some facts about dangerous situations that we did not know until now. The firefighter described in detail how children can save themselves in dangerous situations. He warned them not to play heroes in dangerous situations. Children will keep what they have learned in their heads, hoping that they will never need what they have learned.

Addictions

Addictive diseases are becoming an increasing problem among young people. Young people consume alcohol and drugs earlier than before. More and more children have serious problems at a very young age that have consequences for the rest of their lives. That is why representatives of the Police Administration from Subotica visited our school and presented their work. They discussed the problems of addiction with eighth-graders, and then the students had the opportunity to try on glasses to simulate the effects of alcohol and psychoactive substances. The purpose of using these glasses is to provide an opportunity to see, in a conscious state, the real effects of alcohol and narcotic drugs on the psychophysical state.
The mentioned experience serves as a reminder that this should never be done, and this lecture was instructive for everyone. You look at the picture gallery.

Elderberry Juice

The students from the 2nd grade, along with their teacher Mirjana Savanov, participated in the workshop making elderberry juice. The workshop lasted for two days, and friends from the extended stay came to help them. On the first day of the workshop, they picked the elderberry flowers, poured water over them, and left them overnight. The next day, with the help of cook Anica, they added sugar and citric acid to the strained juice and got a delicious syrup. The next day, they added sugar and citric acid to the strained juice and got a delicious syrup, with the help of cook Anica. We can’t wait for the warmer days to come and to drink delicious juice made by our hard-working friends. You look at the picture gallery.
