HIPPO 2024

 Three groups of my pupils, 15 of them, took part in this year's preliminary round of Hippo Olympiad. Both experienced competitors and those accepting this international language challenge for the first time agreed that the tests were easy, so we're looking forward to receiving good news in a few weeks.


The competition for local pupils was organised on 16 March in Đura Jakšić Primary School.

Regional Foreign Languages Competition 2024

 Two of my oldest pupils were among 50 Class 8 pupils who took part in this year's Regional Foreign Languages Competition held on 10 March at Vuk Karadžić Primary School. 

To our great surprise, nearly half of them (23) ended the competition in first 3 places. 

With 37 points, Vanja won the second place, while, unfortunately, Ognjen had 30 points which were not enough for the State Competition.

The types of tasks were similar to the test in the previous round.

Fish Everywhere

This catchy song's excellent for practising reading, revising colours and prepositions of place, and introducing was/were to young pupils:

There was a blue fish in the pool,
Mum was scared, but I was cool.
There were green fish in my bed,
There was one on my mum's head.

Fish, fish, everywhere,
On the sofa, on the chair.
Quick, quick, Sue and Frank,
Get the fish back in the tank!

There was a pink fish on the mat,
It was really big and fat.
There were red fish on the floor,
Five or six, or maybe more.

Fish, fish, everywhere,...

SID 2024

This year's Safer Internet Day has been an excellent opportunity for my pupils to remind themselves of some of the most important rules to stay safe in the online world.



My older pupils have designed their class posters with top 5 Internet safety tips:

We've also joined in some interesting activities with our eTwinning friends:

Municipal Foreign Languages Competition 2024

 Municipal Foreign Languages Competition took place on Sunday, 4 February 2024. Three of my oldest pupils took part, but, according to the new scoring system, two qualified for the next round. Vanja won the second place with 38 points and Ognjen won the third place with 36 points. Unfortunately, this year, 33 points were not enough for Nikola to join them.

 

Compared to the tests from previous years, this one was easier, with different types of questions:
- read the text and circle the correct answer (= comprehension questions);
- for each question (= short messages), circle the correct answer;
- for each question (= notice boards), choose the correct answer;
- read the text and circle the correct word for each space;
- complete the paragraph with the given words;
- complete the letter with one word in each gap.

What a mess!

This is one of the latest chants my Class 3 pupils have learned. It's great for revising clothes, toys and prepositions of place, but also 'encouraging' somebody to tidy up their room.

What a mess!
What a mess!
What a mess!
Please, tidy up your room.

There's a schoolbag on the floor,
The jeans are on the armchair.
The T-shirt's on the lamp,
There's a plane under the bed.

There's a pencil on the mat,
There's a ball on the table.
There's a book on the wardrobe,
And a sock on the clock.

Your cap's on the mirror,
Your train's on the sofa.
And, where's the other sock?
On the chair, over there!

What a mess!...
