A week with the eTwinning

On 20th October a week with the eTwinning started in the Czech Republic. There were a lot of schools involved in this event. Their task was to write a story about two little men, one is blue and one is red. They visit our towns and schools and have a lot of fun. The schools are writing the story non-stop during the day and at night. My students were at school at night from 20th to 21st October. We had a great time together.

TEACHERS TOO ARE GOD'S CREATURES

On the 14th of October Polish teachers and students celebrated National Education Day (commonly known as Teacher’s Day). On the day before this holiday students invited their teachers for the performance. The members of school Drama Club presented the play titled "TEACHERS TOO ARE GOD’S CREATURES". The main character is the teacher who is looking for a job. It all starts in paradise where God - after Adam and Ewa - creates the teacher to help them teach their children. But violence used by the teacher isn't a suitable method in paradise, so he loses his job. Then he finds the job in hell, but he loses it again because this time his methods are too kind and humane and little devils become angels, so it is shameful for them. Finally, the teacher comes on Earth, to Gimnazjum nr 14 in Ruda Śląska. He talks with the students about their plans for future and sharply criticizes them. Ten years later God comes to him and shows him the newspaper, in which numerous successes of his former students are described. The teacher explains that he complained in order to motivate students to work, because this is his role:-)

National Education Day in Poland

14 October is celebrated in Poland as National Education Day (commonly known as Teacher's Day). It is celebrated on the anniversary of establishing the Commission of National Education by king Stanisław August Poniatowski in 1773.

HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY FOR ALL TEACHERS!

Lots of enthusiasm, cooperative students and satisfaction:-)

October chat

On 9th October our first chat took place! It was an occasion to exchange opinions about favourite subjects, teachers and generally about things we like and don't like in our schools. We also wrote about school roles and special events so both schools learned something more about their patners. Looking forward to next meeting!
