Open Lesson







So far Polish children have started school at the age of seven. The new legislation would lower the school age from 7 to 6. Lowering the school age is seen as key to raising the educational standards of Polish children. Only one teacher is responsible for all subjects in the first grade of instruction, with the exception of foreign language teaching and religion education. In our school Ms Maria Pacan is a form tutor of grade 1B. Ms Angelika Augustyn is an English teacher. Learning English is obligatory since the beginning of primary school. On 22 May Ms Augustyn invited other primary English teachers in Jastrzębie Zdrój to come and see her lesson while she was using up-to-date equipment. The children sang songs, spelled their names and watched a comic on the interactive board. All children wanted to do exercises using an unusual mouse. If our school hadn't been given the Comenius grant, we wouldn't have the mobile interactive board.
