The local round took place on 22 March at Đura Jakšić Primary School.
My Class 2 pupils had great fun chanting about toys.
This lively chant is a wonderful way for them to practise toy vocabulary while enjoying rhythm and repetition.
Within the Skills 4 Life in My Hat project, Class 6 pupils explored healthy lifestyles in creative ways.
First, pupils completed the eating habits survey and showed what they usually eat and drink.
They read Alex’s story carefully and analysed the situation using the Six Thinking Hats method. With the White Hat, they searched for facts about healthy eating, discovered how much sugar is safe each day, and designed a colourful infographic called Fuel for Our Bodies! Then, with the Red Hat, they explored how emotions affect eating habits. They made an emotion map showing what they eat when they feel sad, happy, or bored, and wrote kind messages to remind themselves that healthy foods can cheer them up for longer. Next, they used the Black Hat to spot energy‑stealing foods like sodas, chips, and instant noodles, creating friendly warnings. With the Yellow Hat, they discovered the superpowers of healthy eating and made a superhero poster with fun slogans. Using the Green Hat, they invented healthy alternatives to fast food, creating “Power Balls” called Brain Boosters. With the Blue Hat, they created a healthy meal table with three main meals and two snacks.
Finally, pupils worked individually and in teams to design healthy menus, infographics, and posters in Canva.
One followed a Greek recipe for dakos salad and filmed the process.
In groups, they role‑played The Nutrition Code story.
To close the activity, they prepared riddles about healthy food and had fun guessing their international friends’ ones.
To complete the activity, they chose a traditional local dish, prepared a short recipe card with ingredients, and filmed step‑by‑step cooking video instructions. This way, they practised English in a fun, creative way while sharing their local food traditions.
Think about what you would like to do in the future. Write about your dream job in 80-100 words.
Organise your writing into 4 paragraphs:
Paragraph 1: What is the perfect job for you?
Paragraph 2: What qualifications do you need? What kind of person do you need to be to do this job well? What are its good sides?
Paragraph 3: What are its bad sides? Is there anything about this job that you would not enjoy?
Paragraph 4: Why would you like to do that job? How would it make you feel?
My dream job is to become an English teacher. To make things clear, I will be an English teacher because I’m good at it and I love it so much that I can’t go a day without English.
There are some pros and cons to this job, so let’s dig in. This job is perfect. I love working in a building and not outside when it’s freezing cold or hot. You have a good salary, and if you enjoy what you’re doing, you’ll be happy no matter what. This job can have its rough sides, though. Sometimes kids can be really disrespectful and rude, but there will also be many good students. Another bad thing is that you work nine to ten hours a day because you have to teach classes from first to eighth grade, which is a lot.
Sometimes you’ll have to come to school twice a day because of shifts for younger and older kids. About creativity in this job — I’m not sure if it’s very creative, maybe if you teach first graders and make Mother’s Day or Christmas cards with them. So, in some ways, we can say it is a bit creative.
Anyway, I will genuinely be doing this job in twenty years, and I can guarantee that I’ll be happy if I teach someone’s kids from this class. This job makes me happy and peaceful. I love English so much, and even though I sometimes don’t like something about it, I never give up. It’s my goal for life.

Teaching has always seemed fun if you ask me. That’s why I’ve always wanted to be a teacher.
In kindergarten, I used to teach my friends how to write letters and numbers. When I grew up a bit, I would always help my cousin with her homework, and she would joke that I was her personal free tutor. I was very proud of myself when she told me that. Not only do I like teaching, but I also like kids. I cannot stand babies and toddlers, and especially teenagers. Babies are annoying, teenagers are mean — that’s why, maybe, I could be an elementary school teacher.
It won’t be easy because I don’t want to be the strict, grumpy “everything‑hater” teacher, but I also don’t want my students to disrespect me. A really hard thing for me would be saying goodbye to my students.
Teaching has always been my desire, so I really hope that one day I’m going to become a teacher.

Ever since I was a child, my dream job has been to become a dentist.
To be successful, a dentist needs to be patient, have a steady hand, and great communication skills to calm nervous patients.
The best part of being a dentist is helping people. I love that I can fix someone’s toothache and make them feel better instantly. I can also teach children how to brush their teeth correctly so they stay healthy. Another good side is that dentists earn a lot of money, which is great for the future. There are bad sides too, such as long hours standing up. Many people are afraid of dentists — sometimes they cry or even scream.
Overall, I feel excited about this career because making people smile is truly rewarding.
To celebrate this year's Safer Internet Day, my pupils from Classes 2, 5, and 6 took part in a variety of creative and collaborative activities, exploring how to stay safe, kind, and responsible online.
Class 2 pupils began by raising their hands to show how many of them use the Internet. They talked about the different ways they use it—playing games, watching videos, listening to songs, and learning. Afterwards, they added their sentences to a colourful joint poster in Canva. Together, they chose Copilot’s image of Zorba with a sailor’s hat and a seagull, and some recorded their sentences with ChatterPix Kids.
They also added one more important rule—We never click on pop-up ads!—to a collaborative poster of eSafety rules with friends from the English Quest project.
Class 6 pupils took part in several creative and thought-provoking activities.
As part of the Green & Safe Online activity of the Green Pages project, they read fake news shared by their international friends, created their own examples, and exchanged them with others.
In mixed international teams of the Skills 4 Life in My Hat project, one group prepared drawings of eSafety tips with Copilot’s help (Be careful what you download), while others recorded rules with ChatterPix Kids (Keep your antivirus programme up to date. Avoid suspicious links. Don’t share personal information with strangers online.).
With their green hat on, one group recorded parts of a collaborative comic strip drama using ChatterPix Kids: We can stop the monster! Do not share personal information. Use strong passwords. Tell your parents or teacher. Think before you click!
Another group researched digital rights and responsibilities and suggested creative ways to run a positive digital campaign: Make fun posters. Share kind messages. Use hashtags like #BeKindOnline. Post videos that show respect. Create a digital comic strip about friends helping each other online.
One more group collaborated on an e-book of eSafety rules. They discussed different problems people face in the digital world (Warning! Virus detected!), gave advice (Never post your address or private pictures. Don’t try risky challenges you see in videos—report them instead.), and prepared posters using suggestions from partner schools (Turn off mindless scrolling – Turn on learning & creating).
As members of Future Savers, they answered a poll and shared comments on the forum about the good and bad sides of the Internet:
They also discussed eSafety rules while playing a collaborative game.
My pupils showed that learning about eSafety can be simple, creative, and fun when we work together.
