Year 6 pupils read the book One Plastic Bag by Miranda Paul together and explored its important message about plastic waste.
After reading, they talked about the story and completed the post-survey, where they answered comprehension questions and shared their own ideas.
Inspired by the book, they wrote a story from the point of view of a plastic bag.
They illustrated their story using Storyboard That, combining words and pictures to bring their ideas to life in a shared e‑book.
Year 6 pupils read The Lorax by Dr Seuss together, discussed its themes, and checked their understanding by answering quiz questions.
Afterwards, they created a book report in Canva, added their own comprehension questions, and presented the story to their peers. To make their work more vivid, they illustrated it with AI‑generated images.
They also shared their favourite parts in polls.
Finally, they agreed on a wish for the planet and added it to the project's collaborative Wishing Tree.
The eTwinning European Quality Labels (a total of 13313) for numerous projects carried out during the 2024/25 school year were awarded on 26 November 2025. I'm proud to say that one of the projects I collaborated on with my pupils is among them - Sustainable Future: Our Actions, Our Impact.
I am happy that the lesson plan on gender equality I carried out last year with my Class 7 pupils has been commended in the international competition organised by Eduka Publishing Company.
The promotion of the Collection of all winning and commended lesson plans was organised on 30 October at the Book Fair in Belgrade.
We've marked this year's Code Week with our eTwinning friends.
Class 2 pupils drew the black cat, the seagull, the owl, and their favourite animals in pixels. They explored Zaply Code and Everyone Draw. It was a lot of fun.
We've added the activities to the EU Code Week website.
On 19 October, our team joined the national celebration of the I Can School Challenge in New Belgrade. Eleven school teams from across Serbia presented creative projects focused on empathy, innovation, and making a difference.
We were proud to share our story about responsible consumption and were invited on stage to share key highlights and take on a new challenge.
Later, we joined workshops led by volunteers and worked with students from other schools on fun and thoughtful tasks—lining up by birthdays without speaking, guessing who was leading group movements, writing funny poems about serious topics, and creating a sketch on gender equality.
Although we were not chosen to represent Serbia at the Be the Change conference in Japan, we returned home happy and inspired. The jury awarded us for golden hands and empathy, and shared encouraging feedback:
- Our project addresses an important global issue with clear, practical solutions.
- The Share phase stood out and made a strong impression.
We are thankful for the chance to learn, grow, and connect with others who care about change.
This year, we marked the European Day of Languages with a variety of interactive and creative activities designed to spark curiosity, teamwork, and imagination.
My Class 2 pupils learned greetings and how to say “peace” in Italian, Greek, and Turkish with help from their peers across Europe. They also created a mini video dictionary of kind words, linking language and emotion in a playful way, and joined a memory game with flags.
Older pupils went on a virtual journey across Europe, discovering fun facts about different countries. The most creative ones wrote poems in English and translated the song “Voices of Europe”, composed for this year’s celebration.
The main event took place on 2 October in the school canteen, where Class 5 pupils, divided into five mixed teams, took part in quizzes on general knowledge and languages. They performed a choreography to the song “Voices of Europe”, a scene from the musical “Letter by Letter”, and a short sketch about cases called “The Toreador and the Bull.”
This was our 15th celebration at school and the 25th across Europe — a joyful reminder of how languages enrich our world and bring people closer together. As always, the activity is part of the Council of Europe's Event Calendar.
