This week we were visited by a  teacher from Ireland, her name is Evelyn.

She  taught us some games, songs, and showed us videos.

One of the games that we did was THE LEADER and one of the songs was a song from the Lion King movie "You Got Be".

Later we made a performance for her that we had to repit because we didn't have enogh people for the show.

The first day of spring

March 21st is observed  as the  first day of spring and it's and a fun day at school. This year the spring contest was organised and we didn't have regular classes. It engaged all students who were supposed to take part in some competitions. Each class had to present a spring kite, the spring lady disguise, sping sandwiches and a song or a skit. We had a grat time watching the contest. It turned out that the class 2 A from middle -school was the best and won the contest. Congratulations!

Woman's Day in Poland

Woman’s day in Poland is celebrated on 8th of March. On that day girls and women are given flowers and presents, usually chocolates.. It's usually a big celebration in our school too. Boys from every class prepared small gifts for girls and teachers. Perhaps the most popular were tulips, hand -made cards or chocolates. There was also a school assembly during which boys presented a skit which made us laugh a lot . We listened to some romantic love songs and poems .too. It was an unforgettable day.
