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!
