Transnational project meeting in Germany

From December 2nd to 6th, 2015, members from the Turkish partner school came to visit the Leonardo da Vinci Gymnasium in Neckargemünd, Germany. The visit was intended for the Turkish partners to get to know the partner school as well as the German school system as they couldn't participate in the first transnational project meeting in Germany in December 2014 when the topic was "music".

During the visit they spent some time at the school getting to know the school building and its curriculum, but also found out about highly gifted pupils and their specific demands on the school and its teachers.

Years 8, 9 and 10 got to also know a little bit about Turkish culture through a presentation and a special workshop organized by the Turkish partners.

In addition to visiting the school, the partners had a chance to see some of the beauty of Heidelberg, the nearest town to the school. Especially the Christmas market is a must see in December, but the castle and the old bridge were a part of the sightseeing tour as well.

Al in all, we were very happy to have the Turkish partners visit us in Germany and hope to work together in the future, beyond Erasmus+, too!

Merry Christmas from Slovakia

We wish you

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Trip to Vilnius

On 6th November the students of grades 5-10 were in Vilnius. At first we visited the exhibition 'School 2015.' This year, the slogan of the exhibition was 'School without boundaries.' And indeed, this idea has been evident during the exhibition, because we got to know educational programmes of most Lithuanian Museums, the latest textbooks and fiction literature, but most of all we were attracted by the digital tools and software that can diversify the learning process. We spent a plenty of time at  the stands where experiments or laboratory tests were performed.

One of the objectives of the visit was to become familiar with more varied leisure opportunities. Such activities were offered by a leisure space in which educational programs took place in order to get to know more creative forms of spending free time. The exhibition fascinated  a lot of the students with its activities and services offered. Some lucky ones even had an opportunity  to talk to the President Grybauskaitė and make a photograph with her.

After the exhibition the group went to Vilnius Small Theatre and watched the play "MamaTomcat". The theatre, as another form of spending leisure time, was also evaluated positively by the students, They willingly shared their impressions in evaluating the  scenery of the performance,  acting of the  artists, musical interludes.

This trip was really memorable and gave pupils a lot of positive emotions and new experiences.

The trip was sponsored by Erasmus + programme finances.

The way of bread

In the lesson, the students found out how bread was worshiped in the past, read extracts about bread from Literature works, discussed them. They also listened to the folk proverbs and sayings, identified rye among other grain.
The other part of the lesson took place in Pypliai farm which is located next to Kacergine. This time the students took part in the educational programme 'Magic bread is being baked' that presented the preparation of batter for bread and baking it according to the recipe of this district. Everyone who participated in the program kneaded the dough up, shaped a loaf of bread and after that put it into the oven. While the hostess Dalia was telling interesting stories, the children were listening to them and impatiently waiting till the tasty bread will be ready. When sweet smell filled the room, everybody understood that the bread was baked. The programme was useful as well as filled with plesant emotions. It gave a chance to the students to get acguainted with old Lithuanian traditions, rituals and heritage.
This activity is one of the international project Erasmus+ „Socialize, observe, learn“ events which let the participants learn more about the culture of our country.
