HIPPO 2019 Semi-finals
This year's HIPPO semi-finals for 25 competitors from Kikinda were held at our school on 30 March.
Five of my students tried their best to do their reading and writing tests, more challenging than at qualifications, but it was not enough. The youngest ones were just a few points away from the finals though.

Problem Pages
As a warm-up, I asked my students a few questions (What kind of problems do teenagers face today? Why do these problems occur? What are the consequences? What helps you solve some of these problems?)
Then, I asked them to form four-member groups. Each group got a letter asking for advice. I explained the task (read the letter, identify the causes of the problem(s) and the consequences as well, using the problem tree technique, and suggest some advice) and checked their understanding.
Later, I monitored the group work and encouraged teamwork of students. I also shared some suggestions and provided assistance when needed.
Each group shared their work with the others, who gave their feedback.
In the next lesson, the same groups gathered around the new task - to write a letter of advice. But, first, I read an example of such a letter, and asked them some questions (How does the letter begin / end? In which part of the letter is compassion shown? In which part of the letter is the hope that the advice will help? In which part are the tips mentioned and the expected results stated?);
Again, I monitored the group work and helped them when needed.
Each group read their letters of advice and the others commented.

Greetings from...
Dear mom,
Greetings from Paris!
Paris is the most beautiful city in France. I am here with my best friend Nađa, and we are so amazed with this city.
So many tourists come here and take photographs of the Eiffel Tower.
We are in a very luxurious hotel, and guess what - it has a big pool! Every day Nađa and I swim there.
I will tell you everything when I come back.
Yours,
Nena
P.S. Cant' wait to see you!

Healthy Living
My Class 3 students and I have recently attended a lecture on healthy eating. A nurse from the Town Health Centre spoke about healthy lifestyles and explained the Food Pyramid.
Later we made a Top 10 of our favourite food.
