A book (not) only for the holidays
.
Our school took part in the project "Books (not) only on holidays" organized by the Matropolia Children's Foundation. Books received through participation in the project will supply our school library and will be gifts for our students.
Grandmother's and Grandfather's Day
Grandmothers' Day - a holiday celebrated to honor grandmothers; on this day grandchildren wish their grandmothers. It is celebrated in Poland on January 21, in Bulgaria on the same day, and in Brazil and Spain on July 26. The idea of creating a holiday in Poland appeared in the weekly magazine "Woman and Life" in 1964. Already a year later the holiday began to be popularized by "Express Poznański", and its main originator was Kazimierz Flieger (d. 1985). In 1966, the "Evening Express" also declared January 21 as "Grandmother's Day." Later, the tradition of celebrating Grandparents' Day was also established.

Invocation
Mr. Thaddeus,,, by Adam Mickiewicz, is just a challenge 💪, but the students of class 4b surprise everyone and recite it beautifully🏆.
Lithuania, my Homeland..." - the invocation from "Pan Tadeusz" was sounded in 2014 in Vilnius in as many as 27 languages. In this way, a record was set in the Lithuanian capital for reading the work in foreign languages.
The Invocation in 27 languages - including Yiddish, Esperanto, Chinese, Kashubian and Georgian - was read by ambassadors, diplomats and foreigners studying in Vilnius. The initiators of the record-breaking reading of invocations in various languages in Lithuania were the Vilnius Guides Club and the Polish Embassy in Vilnius.
A great occasion for this was the 180th anniversary of the first edition of "Pan Tadeusz." It was decided to promote the outstanding bard in this way by going beyond the circle of Poles.
The record for reading invocations in foreign languages in Lithuania was entered in the Lithuanian book of records.
The first edition of "Pan Tadeusz" by Adam Mickiewicz was published in Paris in 1834 in two volumes. It is a work that is very dear and close to all Poles, and which was written out of great faith, longing and love for the homeland.
The 7th grade students took up the challenge. Congratulations on the excellent performance.

National Independence Day
National Independence Day - a public holiday in Poland celebrated annually on November 11 to commemorate the regaining of Poland's independence in 1918, after 123 years of partition (1795-1918).

Although we could not celebrate together our students, along with their parents and teachers, celebrated this important day.
Autumn in the kindergarten
Playing outside is loved by all children. For toddlers, it doesn't matter if it's hot, cold, raining or snowing. Children love to play outdoors. Hardly any toddler doesn't like playing outdoors. Movement is necessary for proper development, so take the opportunity. Movement games make them develop a sense of balance, muscle dexterity, precision of movements, dexterity. On top of that, the child will go wild and discharge accumulated energy. It will also improve his health, sleep and appetite. Free, all-around movement is also a way to prevent postural defects. The benefits themselves. Beautiful autumn weather and our preschoolers 🍁🍁🍁🍁.
💥EXTREME READING 💥
National reading of Balladyna
National Reading 2020 Balladyna by Juliusz Słowacki will be the reading of the ninth installment of the National Reading Juliusz Słowacki's Balladyna is an outstanding work of Polish Romanticism. The drama was completed in December 1834 and published five years later in Paris. It was written in exile during a time of discussion of the causes of the recent defeat of the uprising and debates over the common history and future fate of the nation. The poet combined realism and fantasy in this work, focusing on analyzing the attitudes and deeds of the characters. Set against the background of fairy-tale history, the story of two sisters - Balladine and Alina - became very popular. It has exerted a great influence on music, painting or sculpture, and its numerous stagings, produced over the years by outstanding directors and actors of Polish theaters, have enjoyed great popularity. Our school takes part in the National Reading every year. This year, due to the situation, we had to change the form. Class 7, together with Mrs. Karolina, took up this challenge.
The start of the school year
The start of a new school year is an important event for all students and their parents. This school year, due to the pandemic, we had to change the formula for the start of the school year. Meetings were held on September 12, 2020 at ZOOM. We wish students, parents and the entire teaching staff a successful year.
Scientific Circle
Carrying out experiments together can help arouse children's curiosity about the world and the phenomena occurring in it, unleash the passion of young explorers, and above all become great fun. Discovery can be done in all scientific fields, and the process is an independent pursuit of knowledge. Of course, experiment, experience and observation are the tools that first come to mind when talking about discovery. Every child loves to experiment. Doing uncomplicated experiments on your own is not only great fun, but also an opportunity to gain knowledge and discover a passion within yourself. Every opportunity should be taken to show children how colorful the world is. A confident child is more open to the world and learns new things faster. Through science experiments, he begins to see the deeper meaning of learning. He develops the ability to deduce, predict and, above all, ask questions. The child becomes infected with the passion for acquiring knowledge not only from books, but from all around him. Such activities attract not only children, but also adults.
Ms. Agnieszka Nowak from Lancaster University invited our students to participate in an online science circle. Ms. Agnieszka already runs such a circle at the Polish School in Lancaster. Our students are very actively participating in the experiments. We present the results of our cooperation.
May holidays
Flag Day is one of the youngest national holidays. It was established by a resolution of the Sejm in 2004 to promote knowledge of Polish identity and national symbols.
The choice of the day was not accidental and has historical justification. It was on May 2, in 1945, that Polish soldiers from the 1st Kosciuszko Division hung the red-and-white flag on the Victory Column in Berlin. By capturing the capital of Nazi Germany, they contributed to the end of hostilities in Europe.
The Day of Polonia and Poles Abroad - a Polish holiday celebrated on May 2 since 2002, established by the Sejm of the Republic of Poland, on the initiative of the Senate of the Republic of Poland - in recognition of the centuries-old achievements and contributions of Polonia and Poles abroad to Poland's independence, loyalty and commitment to Polishness, and assistance to the Country in its most difficult moments.
National Holiday of the Third of May - Polish national holiday celebrated on May 3 on the anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution of May 3 (1791), established in 1919 and again in 1990. On May 3, 1791, the second constitution in modern Europe after the Corsican constitution was adopted, and the third in the world after the American constitution. It preceded the French constitution, among others. The constitution was passed by the Four-Year Diet, which was convened in October 1788.

Workshop training for teaching staff.

The training was conducted by psychologist Aneta Hojol, MA, who is a member of the British Psychological Society. The training was carried out in an attractive form of combined lectures and workshops. The workshops were conducted with activating methods (conservatory, work in subgroups). Such training makes it possible to improve skills and theoretical knowledge in a practical training situation, and, as a result, directly transfer the learned techniques and skills to work with the classroom. The following topics were covered at the workshop: principles of effective teacher-student/teacher-parent communication, work motivation and student motivation in the classroom, the role of authority and building relationships in the group using Positive Discipline. All in all, it was a great training workshop.
