Two sunny weeks in England!

Our trip to England lasted from the 20th September to 3rd October 2008. We stayed in host families in Barnstaple, near the Atlantic ocean in the south-west of England. Every day we had three lessons with our English teachers Belinda, Roy and Helena. After school we went on trips to interesting places, e.g. Exeter, Lynton and Lynmouth, Milky Way (an adventure park), Tintagel and many more. One day we spent the whole day with our host families.
The journeys to and from England were long, but exciting. We stopped in Brugge in Belgium and in Stonehenge. On the way back we had a 9-hour break in London. We saw loads of famous sights there. It was brilliant time with our friends from school!!

VISITORS FROM DENMARK

From the 21st to 25th of April we had Danish visitors. For 5 days they lived with us and learned about Czech culture. Our teachers prepared a programme beginning with a visit of the Terezin camp and afternoon bowling on Tuesday. On Wednesday we played sports at school and in the afternoon we prepared a speech about some interesting places of Prague. We had lots of fun on Thursday morning, when we went to the rope center. In the afternoon our Danish friends had a chance to buy some gifts for their families. On Friday they were already on their way home...
We are looking forward to see them again and visit the nice places of Denmark.

Deutscholympiade

Am sechsten Februar habe ich an der Schulrunde der Deutscholympiade teilgenommen und ich habe gewonnen. Ich habe es nicht erwartet und war sehr froh. Die nachste Runde war wieder in unserer Schule und hier waren Kinder aus den Schulen von Prag 6.
Wir haben ein Hortest und dann ein Gesprach mit der Komission absolviert. Ich war sehr nervos und vielleicht auch deshalb war ich die zweite. Mein Mitschuler Dominik Sipos hat gewonnen und das finde ich sehr gut.

DigiSkills meeting in Prague

From 4th to 6th May 2008 our school organized a meeting of all DigiSkills partner schools.
On Monday morning forty teachers and students were invited by Mgr. Tomas Chalupa, the mayor of Prague 6, for breakfast and then they went on a Prague sightseeing tour.
The most difficult work started after lunch when the students, divided into four groups, set off on the Prague Quest walks across Romantic, Hospitable, Entertaining and Making the money fly Pragues. They were asked not only to record given places, but also answer some questions. On Tuesday morning they were supposed to trim their results in four short films. You can see them on our project vlog Prague Quest (http://edigiskillspraguequest.blogspot.com/).
Everybody was amazed by the Prague beauty and they are planning to come back one day.

„ArtCrossing“

On Thursday 30th April 2008 our class 9.C went to the National Gallery in Prague. We had a workshop there called „ArtCrossing“. It is a multimedia educational project for pupils, students and teachers. It was guided by an artist who taught us how to use Arkaos, a video DJ (VJ) programme. Afterwards we were given digital cameras and we went to the exposition of F. Kupka´s paintings. We took photos of some of the paintings and we VJ´d them. It was pretty hard to manage the programme, but the final clip, which you can see, is actually nice. We enjoyed it, it wasn´t boring at all!

Teaching practice - evaluation II

The teaching practice was something that I really looked forward to, however I was slightly afraid of it. It was an opportunity to try something new. I didn’t know anything about the school I had chosen, and I had never taught before.
At the beginning I was surprised. The pupils were very cooperative and they all tried hard. I was quite nervous, but they helped me to overcome the problems. Some of the lessons were not so good, but some of them were perfect and I really enjoyed them.
I’d like to thank Ms Prokopova for her advice and opinions which were great contribution to my learning how to teach. And I’d like to thank the pupils, because their kindness and success supported my decision to become a teacher.

Teaching practice evaluation (25.3.- 4.4.2008)

When I signed for my very first teaching practice, I was really scared. As I had never taught before, I was afraid of everything – of students, their questions, of the lessons, of the atmosphere and first of all, I was afraid of myself. Will I know all the answers to all possible questions, will I know how to deal with possible problems? However, as my time at the elementary school „Pod Marjankou“ went by, Ms Prokopova and the pupils managed to show me, with no special effort, that teaching isn´t that horrible as I had thought before, and that it can be actually fun. Of course, no one dares to doubt that it is a hard and time-demanding job. On the other hand, it is one of the few jobs which results are so obvious. To see „my“ students actually using new grammar structures made me forget the anxiety in which I was imprisoned in the beginning. And that is a reward I did not even expect.

Easter at school!


Our last lesson of English before Easter we were in our library. We were talking about differences between Easter in England and in the Czech republic. We have learned some Easter vocabulary, like a bunny, an egg or a twig. We also helped the bunny to find some eggs! At the end of the lesson we checked our new vocabulary by „Hot Potatoes“ – a special programme for learning English. It was great!

El encuentro de Digiskills proyecto en Praga

Desde el 4 de mayo a 6 de mayo tendremos una visita de Alemania, Bélgica, Dinamarca, Suecia, Francia, Espaňa y Grecia. Vendrán los profesores y los estudiantes que participan en el proyecto Digiskills.

English language competition

On the 22nd February I represented our school in an English competition of Prague 6. It had 2 parts: a test (listening and grammar) and a conversation. The most interesting for me was the second part because I prefer to speak English. Our questions were not very difficult and I chose a good topic - „My friends“. Because I have a lot of them, it wasn´t a problem to talk about my good friends. I was on the third place.

February 2008 - skiing month in our school

7.A
Every winter all the 7th classes spend one week in the mountains where they improve their skiing skills. This year our class 7.A went on a trip to Krkonoše first. We left on Saturday 2nd February. We went by bus to a small village Strážné where we stayed for 1 week in a small mountain cottage. There was lots of snow at the beginning, skiing was perfect and we also had time for cross-country skiing. It was fun!! On the rainy day we played a table tennis
tournament. Every evening we played many indoor games organized by our leaders. At the end of the trip we had skiing races. Every other evening there was a disco!:-)The week was wonderful, with lots of fun, everybody enjoyed it!! Thank you for everything and see you in the mountains again!

7.C
Our class went on a skiing trip the 2nd week in February. We stayed in a small cottage in Herlíkovice. Our cottage wasn´t very nice, food and the cooks were terrible, but we enjoyed the trip anyway. We went skiing nearly every day. The 4th day we went on an all-day cross-country skiing trip on Žalý. It was fun. The weather was great! Boys in our class were real gentlemen and helped the girls with cross-country skis. On the trip we made friends with most of the people in our class. In the evenings we played many games. At night we talked with our room-mates and ate lots of crisps. We didn´t sleep much. According to most of us it was the best skiing trip in the world!

7.B
Our class arrived in Strážné as the last. It wasn´t freezing so the snow was thawing. We lived in a cottage called Vilka. We arrived at noon so we went skiing in the afternoon. We were divided into three skiing groups. The first group was the best and they were skiing on the most difficult skiing slopes, the third group on the easiest. The weather wasn´t cold all the time, but it was okay for skiing. We lived in rooms from 2 to 4 people. Every day we got up at about 7.30 and we had breakfast at 8. Next to Vilka was a building where we went to eat. After breakfast we returned to our rooms and we packed our bags for skiing. When we were ready, a ski-bus took us to the slopes where we made the groups. Each group had its own instructor. When we came back from the trip, we usually had one hour for relaxing. For cross-country skiing we had different groups. At 6 pm we had dinner and then we played some games with our teachers. We had to go to bed at 10pm. We think that all of us enjoyed it and nobody wanted to return back to school again.

The 50th school anniversary


On the 18th December 2007 our school celebrated its 50th birthday. The school was given an eighty-million crown renovation from the local authority. The public had a chance to have a look round the school the whole day. They could also visit workshops of the teachers which were aimed at media education. The main project topic was "A building of the centuries".
The official opening ceremony took place at 2 pm. The new school was opened by Tomas Chalupa, the mayor of Prague 6 and Jindrich Kitzberger, the vice-minister of education.
The mayor was willing to give an interview to the students who take part in the project Digiskills.

Finally, teachers, students and their parents met at the birthday party in Hotel Pyramida where they were reminded the school fifty-year history against a background of the worldwide events.

Halloween fun with the 5th grade


The 31st of October is the time of witches, ghosts, ghouls and of course pumpkins.

OUR NEW LOOK



During the holidays in 2007 and at the start of another school year the school was finally renovated after fifty years.
Now the children can enjoy new colourful classrooms, corridors and toilets. The school has a new facade, renovated gymnasiums and school clubs.
Teachers waited patiently until big changes turned up and with financial support of the local authority new furniture for their rooms was bought.
There are new boards in the classrooms and thanks to the renovation a new project room was set up. It is also used for workshops.
