Days of Bread and Gratitude for the Fruits of Autumn

 With the first days of autumn, the fields, vineyards and orchards present us with various and delicious fruits. The wealth of colors, smells and tastes spreads in all directions. That's why every year at the beginning of October we celebrate the Days of Bread and Thanksgiving for the Fruits of the Earth.

In our school students learn about the creation of bread and its importance in nutrition, about tradition and Croatian customs. Through instructive stories, recitations, plays and educational films, children are taught about bread. Through practical activities and creative workshops, students are introduced to the making of bread, pastries, and cakes. The participation of the students themselves in making bread is encouraged, both in schools and in families. Emphasis is placed on a healthy diet and the consumption of fruits and vegetables.

The 2nd grade students were also happy to bring their favorite autumn fruits to school, which they displayed in the school's atrium. They learned songs about bread and how bread is made. They kneaded buns in their homes and proudly brought them to show their friends in class. They saw how much effort needs to be put into each piece of pastry!

The most joyful moments were the exchange of fruit and pastries and their consumption. With gratitude for the blessings given, we eagerly await next autumn!

CROATIA - Erasmus Days 2022

Erasmus Days is an event that takes place from 13 to 15 October 2022 and celebrates Erasmus Plus Program as a whole, highlighting the success of the program and showcasing the benefits of learning experiences through international cooperation.

Following our Erasmus+ project Common Heritage from Tradition to Future, which promotes intangible cultural heritage, 5c students got an insight into a presentation on cultural heritage and tested their knowledge through a Kahoot on the same topic. This class joined the project with great enthusiasm, and made wonderful kites that now decorate the foreign language classroom. The idea came from our e-book entitled Unusual Cultures, which explores some intangible features of the cultural heritage of the partner countries. That's how we found out why the Greeks fly kites at Easter, so we made them through true collaborative work. Namely, one class would start the work, and the next class would finish it, which is the case with 6d and 7c. class. The e-book lists more traditions such as Martenitsa among the Bulgarians and Boboteaza among the Romanians. And 7.c. went hunting for an unusual item hidden in the school yard and found Nazar, a Turkish amulet.

In addition to the events at the school, on the evening of October 13, students participated in a Zoom meeting organized by a Bulgarian school wishing to share their impressions of the mobility that took place in our country earlier this year. The impressions seem to be very much alive and it was very nice to hear Bulgarian peers inviting the mobility host students to a return visit. We would like to thank all the participants in Croatian mobility once again for their collaborative work and friendship.
