SKYPE MEETING WITH CROATIAN SCHOOL

           On 30th November the pupils of grades 6 and 5 took part in an unusual lesson of English - video meeting with their peers from the Croatian school SEI:"GALILEO GALILEI. At the beginning our students greeted their partners singing a popular polish song.                                                                                 

       The students had their conversations in pairs. They exchanged their personal data, they talked about hobby, interests and family.For our students the meeting was a big challenge although they admitted that it was much easier for the second time.

Christmas cards for Croatian School

    Our pupils prepared 26 Christmas cards for Croatian school and one card for each partner schools.                           

The pupils made the cards during after school workshops and individually at home.They tried to use different techniques to make the cards look original.                                                   

     We hope the Croatian pupils will like them and we're looking forward to receiving the cards from Umag. We're going to decorate our Erasmus plus corner with them to show them to everyone. 

Flags and maps of the partner countries made of healthy food

Almost all classes in our school took  part in this activity. Our pupils with the help of their parents, and teachers made posters using only healthy food products to make the partner countries' flags. They used rice, groats, lentils, cornflakes, beans, pasta, etc.

We have presented the posters on the school corridor.

3rd PROJECT MEETING IN TOMELLOSO, SPAIN

On 25-27.10.2016 a delegation of Szkoła Podstawowa in Nowa Słupia took part in the third international meeting of the project "GOAL". The School was represented by a project coordinator Ewa Pikus and teachers: Agnieszka Pawlik-Osuch and Olga Zyzman-Ponikowska. The visit was organized by partner school CEIP José Antonio, which is located in Tomelloso (central Spain).

The main purposes of the meeting were summarizing the project activities for the period May-October 2016, detailed planning and project discussion. On Tuesday, there was an official welcome at school. The first thing that caught our attention after opening the school door were wonderful decorations made by children hanging everywhere in the building. The greetings "CZEŚĆ" (Hi – in English), Polish flags and maps of our region with pointed Nowa Słupia, posters of the Holy Cross Monastery were on every wall and woke our emotion.

Due to the warm, sunny weather, an official welcome meeting was held in the courtyard of the school. The partner schools delegations were welcomed by the school principal and the mayor of the town. Then the students greeted each country flying flags, they were accompanied by the national anthem of each partner country. After that, each class presented a dance to folk tunes and popular songs.

We learnt the culture, history and national tradition of Spain. On Wednesday we participated in a trip to the city of Toledo located by the river Tag. We admired the beautiful view of the city and did a lot of sightseeing.

We tasted Spanish cuisine and admired a flamenco dancer – a pupil.

On Thursday there were organized sport competitions connected with paralympics in which each student, and the teacher could feel how to be a person physically disabled or blind. The games of basketball or sitting volleyball weren't even for us, healthy people, easy tasks.

We experienced a very warm welcome and friendly atmosphere. We are grateful to the principal, the teachers and students of Spanish school for the wonderful preparation of the visit.

MEETING WITH A PARALYMPIAN IN RIO- WOJCIECH MAKOWSKI

"SITTING VOLLEYBALL" MATCH

The next activity in the project "GOAL!" was a game "sitting volleyball". After some instructions the class 6 students experienced how to be a sportsperson with injured motor organs. They played the match and they claimed that it wasn't easy to move and play volleyball in that way.They were very active and engaged in the game. 

We hope that the students have overcome their stereotypes towards people on wheelchairs.

Watching Wheelchair Basketball Match

On the 8.X 15 the students from our school went to Kielce to watch The International Wheelchair Basketball Tournament. Our students supported the team called  „Scyzory Kielce”. The players were quite good and they won all the parts of the match.

After the match our students talked to the disabled basketball players about this discipline, their disability and some interesting facts of the players' life. One of the sportsmen whose name was Jarek was a student of our school. He introduced us to his colleague who took part in the Paralympics in London.

We took some photos with these basketball players.

This trip was a wonderful lesson of tolerance towards disabled people.

PHOTOSTORY - A PARALYMPIC ATHLETE

A few students who chose to take part in this task watched the Paralympics carefully to find the athlete who they would admire.

They looked for information about the disabled athlete's career, childhood, job and interests on the Internet and in other sources. They also followed them in the Paralympics to be the witnesses of their successes.

They prepared PP presentations.

Here you can watch the best one.

KAHOOT

Shortly after the Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro we played the kahoot.
The questions were easy  although the results of the pupils weren't very high. The pupils answered 10 questions in Polish and they had a lot of fun seeing their results on the interactive board.
The questions were: e.g. How many countries took part in the Paralympics? Which country won the biggest number of medals? How many days did the Paralympics last? How many countries took part in the Paralympic Games? Which place in medal classification did Poland take? Who of Polish athletes was the twice gold winner in this year Paralympics?

 Wiktoria Pająk (class 6) took the first place in the quiz 

(she gave 8 correct answers and she was the quickest to answer pupil).

MEETING WITH A FAMOUS SPORTSWOMAN

We organised a meeting with Aleksandra Mądzik, who is a marathonist.
Aleksandra is one of the eight people in Poland (one of three women) who completed the World Marathon Majors.
She ran marathons in Tokyo, Berlin, Chicago, Boston, London and New York. She managed to do it in only 2 years' time.
During the interview she told us about her passion and people she met while running and she showed a lot of pictures.
Then we asked questions about her career, preparations for marathons and plans for future. We could admire her rich collection of medals.
Aleksandra is a lovely and open-minded person. She encouraged us for running.

THE INTERVIEW WITH A MARATHONIST - ALEKSANDRA MĄDZIK

1. Why did you choose this sport?

A.M. : It was a complete coincidence. I liked running at your age and I used to run shrt distances 60m, 100m or 300m. Then I said goodbye running and started playing volleyball, but a few years later when I changed a job I went back to running. There was a running section at my work and I really liked this sport. You do not need much for running, good shoes are enough and besides you can go running everywhere.

2. How many liters of water do you drink while running in marathon?

A.M.: I can't drink a few litres of water, it's absolutely too much. I drink water in plastic glasses which we get every 5 kilometres on the track. There are about 8 stands with water. I try to drink one glass which is not full – about 100 ml, so it gives the amount of less than 1 litre during the marathon. When it's hot I take one more glass with water just to spill on my body.

3. How often do you train?

A.M.: 4 times a week. I'm running different distances.

4. How much time do you spend on training?

6. Do you follow any diet before a marathon?

A.M.: Unfortunately, yes. This is one minus of running. I care about what I eat and of course don't eat everything. I try to avoid coffeee. A week before a marathon I don;t drink coffee or alcohol, I don't eat fast food. I prepare food myself. I eat more fish than meat. I eat fish 5 times a week. And shortly before a marathon I don't eat any rice, groats, fruit. I eat a lot of carbohydrates.

7. If you didn't run, what would you do in your free time?

A.M.: I definitely would cook. I love experimenting in kitchen, I like tasting new things.

8. Who supports you in running?

A.M. : Family, my parents who are my great fans. And of course my sister and friends.

9. How many injuries have you had?

A.M.: Fortunately, I haven't broken anything yet, but I had one serious injury after the marathon in New York. When I was running I didn't realize I had some liquid in my knee. Probably my body was exhausted and it manifested it that way. When I returned to Poland I when to emergency room. I couldn't walk for some time as it hurted very much. I had to take a break in running to let my legs rest.

10.How long have you been running in marathons?

A.M.: I started running in marathons 4 or 5 years ago. I have run about 14 marathons which gives the number of 3 marathons a year.

11. Did you know as a child that you wanted to be an athlete?

A.M.: No, not as a child, but I always knew that sport would be close to me. I used to ride a bike, play volleyball (for 6 years). I also played table tennis. I always liked sport but I never thought that I would run long distances.

12. How many kilometres can you run?

A.M.: I am able to run 42 kilometres.
