Carneval

ABRACADABRA, THE CARNIVAL IS HERE!

Yesterday, our school was transformed into a magical kingdom full of imaginative masks.

Princesses in fairy-tale dresses gracefully walked the halls , brave heroes saved the world , and mermaids brought us the scent of mysterious ocean depths.

Spidermen leaped from wall to wall , while the mighty Sphinx guarded its ancient secrets.

Music, colorful masks and an enchanting atmosphere filled the air, transporting us all into a world of endless possibilities.

A huge thanks to all the little and big magicians who made this day unforgettable! We can't wait for the next year!

PRESCHOOLERS GET TO KNOW SCHOOL

This week, we had special guests at our school – our preschoolers! They visited the first-grade class to see what school is really like. They eagerly participated in all activities and curiously discovered new things.

Such collaborations are very important to us because they can help children transition smoothly from kindergarten to elementary school. We are happy to be part of their educational journey and look forward to welcoming them back again.

Our Preschoolers Submerged in Adventure

On Wednesday, December 4th, our preschoolers, together with their parents, participated in a wonderful gathering at our kindergarten.

Since September, they have enthusiastically taken part in the Submerged challenge as part of the First Lego League, exploring the fascinating underwater world. They built models of the ocean, coral reefs, and discovered various marine creatures.

During the event, the children proudly presented their constructions and projects, which they had been working on for months. Parents not only admired their amazing creations but also had the chance to try building with 6 Bricks themselves. To conclude, everyone enjoyed an exhibition of children's work, showcasing their creativity, patience, and curiosity.

🎉 Visit from the Dentist

The children learned in a fun way how to properly brush their teeth and prevent cavities. They practiced their new skills on their friend, the dragon! 🐉

They found out what happens during a dental check-up so they wouldn't be afraid. At the end, they took home a diploma and a new toothbrush. 🏅🪥

Thank you to the dentist for an amazing day full of fun and learning! 💖

St. Nicholas at Kindergarten

We were honoured by a visit of St. Nicholas and his angel at our kindergarten last week! As every year, he brought packages full of healthy treats to children. Our children truly deserve it because they are not only good but also very well-behaved. St. Nicholas happily listened to the beautiful poems and songs that the children had prepared for him.

We thank St. Nicholas and the angel for their visit and we are looking forward to see them again!

VISIT FROM AFRIKA

As part of the Erasmus project, we had the honor of hosting a special visit from distant Africa, specifically from Kenya! Our little Giraffes had the opportunity to learn about local customs, food and animals and they got to know an African school through pictures and videos. At the end we all danced to the rhythmic song Jambo and learned our new motto: Hakuna Matata! We are excited to explore new cultures.

OCTOBER IS A MONTH OF RESPECT FOR THE ELDERLY

Our preschoolers visited the Senior Home in Šelpice to spend pleasant moments with the elderly and bring them joy. Such meetings remind us of the value of intergenerational relationships.

Seniors face various challenges, so it is important that we show them interest and support. The autumn season symbolically reminds us of old age as part of the life cycle. The experiences they pass on to us are valuable. In the age of technology, they can remind us of values such as slowing down, patience, and humility.

We thank the Senior Home in Šelpice for the warm welcome.

THE AGAPÉ THEATRE TOOK US TO THE DISTANT LANDS

Once again our favorite theatre artist Martin Žák delighted us with his Agapé Theatre and the performance of “The Rainbow Bus.” Thanks to the power of children’s imagination, we went on a joyful journey around the world without any trouble. We discovered new countries, made new friends and realized that the world is as colorful as a rainbow. We are looking forward to ride such a journey in the future.

THIRD GRADERS READ TO PRESCHOOLERS

As part of our strategy to motivate children to read and promote their communication skills, we create a space for peer-to-peer learning.

Last Friday, our third graders visited the preschool where they read the story of Jožko the Hedgehog to the preschoolers. They talked about where the hedgehog lives, what he looks like and what he does for a living. Although the hedgehog is a loner, the classrooms were transformed into a forest full of hedgehogs.

Together they solved the prepared tasks, enjoyed a pleasant time full of conversations, fun and learning. In the end, the preschoolers rewarded the third graders with a small gift.
