The last presentation was enriched with a dance
show. The second and third grade students presented a dance show. The first was
an aerobic one. The second was an individual jazz dance.
To inaugurate and promote the project A&E among
students and local community each partner of the project invited students to
take part in two competitions: the competition for a logo of the project and
for a film promoting a school. In our school the project team encouraged
students to face the competitions and it was the time to give awards to the
winners. We are very proud that after partners’ voting the Polish logo became
the official sign of the project A&E.
A&E Project logo and slogan by Julia Papiernik from Poland.
To make project activities more effective and far
reaching we organized wide variety of competitions. All our students and students from primary
schools in Trzebinia were the receivers of these actions. The aims were:
-
To promote knowledge
about Trzebinia and partners’ countries
-
To extend respect and
an attachment to own country, region, family on the one side, but also
tolerance to other countries and their cultures.
-
Students made works in
four categories: literary, art, geography and history. Students were asked to
describe the most interesting place in Europe, prepare recipes, draw European
buildings and show the beauty of European landscapes. In the geographical
competition they introduced the most interesting places in the country, region, named tourist attractions
in Europe. Those, keen on history, create the album of customs and traditions
in Europe. They described monuments and legends of European countries.
The teachers responsible for a realization of these
tasks were asked to give the prizes. Those teachers were as follows:
Mrs Anetta Świerczek-Sumera- a Polish and History
teacher, Mrs Katarzyna Paluch- a Polish
teacher, Mrs Iwona Leś- Kubik- a Geography and IT teacher and Miss Marta
Pliszka- an Art teacher.
There were over sixty students and their teachers to be given prizes.

PRIZE GIVING CEREMONY
At the end we had fun to see a Polish, German and
English school drama titled: Respect Health- Eat Healthier or Marlenka’s Short Story. This show referred to the
Erasmus+ topic, indeed.
The main character of this story, Marlenka, a girl,
ate badly, did not do any sport. She preferred to be a couch potato and eat
junk food. Thanks to real friends she decided to change her mind and promised
to eat healthier and practice some sports.
This students’ drama presentation was conducted by
teachers of English and German: Mrs Aleksandra Stefańska and Mrs Joanna Seręga.
Twenty students acted in this drama. It was their first show in our school
because they are the first grade students. Thanks to their effort, creativity
and a good sense of humor, even if it was mainly in Polish, we could get a
meaning from gestures and props J.
…. I have forgotten about one crucial thing… Marlena
was not a girl (for those who did not catch it J )
