Parents' meeting



0n 17 June 2009 Parents of children who visited our partner schools were invited to the last meeting of the project. It was an opportunity to share their experience concerning foreign students. The coordinator of the project expressed her gratitude for taking care of the guests. A mobility survey shows that the majority of foreign students like Polish food: “It was delicious, many different things.”, “I love it!”, “Very good food.”, “ …They are very good cooks. I like their food.”, “It was different. Some things I like and some things I didn’t like.”. All students enjoyed their staying with the host families: “Very friendly, really did take care of me!” “They were so nice to me!’ “They were great!”. Most students liked the programme of the visit: “The program was very good.”, “I like it so much!”, “It was a good experience to see the Polish life style.”, “It was awesome=>OK.”, “It was nice to be here”. In our guests’ eyes the Polish school: “…is like Czech school but bigger.”, “It was nice but too empty (could be because there were no students)”, “ It was different but it was nice with art on the walls.”, “I don’t like schools, but Polish school is OK.”. The English test, which was taken by the Comenius international group on the 1st June seemed to be a piece of cake. Very few students expected to fail it. In fact, all students received famous Polish sweets called “krówki”. According to the survey, all students would like to participate in the next Comenius project.
The Czech and Swedish Students – thank you for your nice comments!

Ecology Lesson


Tuesday, 2nd June 2009, 08:00
Today we had a biology lesson but we were not in the school building. Our lesson took place in a special centre. Inhabitants of the city of Jastrzębie Zdrój are provided with fresh water which is delivered to their households from the Czech sources high in the mountains. The modern sewage farm and its Education Centre for Ecology in Jastrzębie was built with the help of the European Union fund. During the lecture which was translated for our guests by Ms. Justyna Świercz, our English teacher, we found out a lot of water circulation in the environment and a serious problem of nitrate pollution. We could see how huge modern facilities and invisible bacteria work to make dirty, polluted water clean enough for beavers to live in it.
A comic which was a gift from the Center made the lesson more memorable and funny.

International polonaise in Jastrzebie.

Students from Polish 9th grade showed us their traditional dance but not only that! Czech and Swedish visitors were invited to learn a piece of POLONAISE. The teachers helped them with basic steps and you can see the result of the students´ effort in a short video.

Public Library


VIII Ogólnopolski Tydzień Czytania Dzieciom

1 - 7 czerwca 2009

Mrs. Elżbieta Krajewska is a librarian in Public Municipal Library Branch No 16 which is situated in our school. This week is very special and more readers visit the library not only to borrow a book but also to listen to it. Yesterday, on June 1st, the reading campaign started. It is called "All of Poland Reads to Kids". “ABCXXI - All of Poland Reads to Kids Foundation” has prepared a very special 23-volume collection of books for children. As they say that, “If we wish to live in a country of wise, honest and cultured people, let’s ensure that reading aloud every day becomes a priority in our homes, as well as in the kindergartens and schools our children attend.”
In each library all over Poland celebrities and common people read books to kids. Our library had unusual guests and a book. The book was written by Polish, Czech and Swedish children. They handed the book down to the Librarian to be included into the huge book collection. Applying for a Comenius grant we declared that our project will help pupils develop linguistic competencies, promote intercultural awareness and prepare students for their future as adult members of the European community. This has just happened. When we came to the library with our book “The Little Red Hen”, we saw the reading room full of small kids. They came from the nearby preschool. They didn’t expect to have such extraordinary lectors. Paulina from Sweden, Radka from the Czech Republic and Eva from Poland read to them about hardworking Hen and her lazy friends. It was very easy to understand the Polish girl. They could partially understand the Czech language. But the Swedish one was a total puzzle. One five-year-old suspected that it was Chinese! Kids were so excited that after having returned to their classes they began to draw their illustrations.


NOBODY IS BORN A READER A CHILD NEEDS TO BE TAUGHT TO READ FOR PLEASURE BY BEING READ TO EVERY DAY.
Join the campaign

Monday started as usual - with a test! You can never trust your teacher! Every opportunity is good for them to check our English! Luckily we were allowed to write only the names of our countries and age instead of names. And sweets - “krówki” were so delicious as a prize for everybody.

Hi folks ! Hang your photos here as everybody had a camera. For more than a month there was not a single drop of rain in the area. Everybody prayed for rain. But good heavens! Not exactly on the day on our trip to Krakow!

STOP!

STOP - A Momentous Quarter
“Remembering the Past, Shaping the Future”.
Our Comenius meeting is full of joy but there was time when everybody was silent. On our way to Krakow we stopped for a quarter at the Auschwitz concentration camp. Our teachers wanted us to be in person in that terrifying place just to become witnesses. Such a tragic place in the middle of Europe should always be remembered. We must do our best to keep peace. Three names come to our minds when we have history lessons about the Holocaust: Raul Wallenberg, a Swede, Henryk Slawik, a Pole and Jozsef Antall, a Hungarian. During the WW II they all worked in Budapest and rescued hundreds of Jews and their compatriots. Slawik and Wallenberg paid with their lives for their humanitarian actions. The three heroes were awarded the title “Righteous Among the Nations” at the Yad Vashem Institute. In Poland Slawik is sometimes called a Polish Wallenberg.

Mrs Zofia Tomeczek used to teach Art in ZSNo11. Although she retired a few years ago, she was willing to demonstrate her hobby: wycinanki. "Wycinanki" is the Polish word for paper-cut design.
More than a hundred years ago, women in small villages near Warsaw were too poor to buy paintings to decorate their timbered huts. Instead they started cutting out various, usually symmetrical, designs from a single piece of colored paper, with spruce trees and birds as the most popular motif. Some women preferred cutting-outs which consists of many layers of brightly colored paper used in its composition. Polish paper cut-outs are a very special sort of art. The unique richness of paper-cut designs done in the Polish tradition is a special contribution to the artistic heritage of the world. Nowadays small groups of women usually cut out for exhibitions and competitions or for pleasure. Mrs Tomeczek is among them as she takes part in many exhibitions and enjoys sharing her expertise with other, especially children. Mrs Angelika Augustyn, our English teacher, helped to explain to our guests if they needed.
