Literary workshop with writer Vule Zuric

On March 28th, 2019 our guest was the old acquaintance, writer Vule Zuric. We imagined our meeting a bit differently than the previous. Vule gave us the secret how to write a story, so we got three themes and the assignment to choose and write a short story. He let us write the story on our phones and that  was very interesting. All students read their stories. There were funny, long, too short, simple, mysterious and few serous stories. The writer was pleased because he managed to provoke our writer’s skills although we insisted on our inability to write and our dislike towards writing.

Stop crutches!

Within the Serbian language and literature classes and preserving Serbian language classes, 1st grade students attended the workshop held by Expressiveness association. The workshop was held on March 19th, 2019 in the Roman hall of Belgrade City Library. We faced sincerity and kindness, and the space itself made us do our best and feel relaxed. Our students were cooperative and listened attentively, participated in all activities that our hosts – Milan Bosiljcic and Slobodan Roksandic designed. The next meeting was scheduled for the next Tuesday. We couldn’t wait to try ourselves in non-verbal communication.

Animal farm

We have started new interdisciplinary theme at the beginning of March – Animal farm. Serbian language and English language classes were booked for various inquiries.  Few ideas imposed during the research: elucidate Stalin’s and Hitler’s time, ponder all types of propaganda, analyze the piece, discover which historic characters are hidden in Farm characters. We practiced how to make drama, made propagandist flyers, and determined which types of people correspond to animal characters. We are very proud of the pictures of utopia (ideal school) and dystopia (animal farm) that covers our classroom walls.

Circul d’Art

MYP 2 and MYP 4 students had chance to meet the Circul d’Art project. The project will be realized within MYP’s Service and action. Our guest was Mrs. Rajmonda Avignon, conceptual artist and the UNDP organization’s expert in the circular economy.

We talked about sustainable development, preserving the environment and recycling. One of the possible solutions for growing amounts of garbage on our planet is reusing products in order to make art. During next few months we will be part of this project by making various creations out of the recycled material.

Sur les pistes de la France – orienteering by francophone

Professor Darko Miletic was our charming guide through the French part of Belgrade on 13th March, 2019. The first point was French cultural center. Lovely Katrin and the center left very good impression on us. The second point was the search for French bakery in Dobracina Street. Unfortunately, it does not exist anymore so we had to find solace in doughnuts we found along the way.

Bogdan Kosutic informed us of the embassy and the monument on Kalemegdan.

It was a beautiful day to acquaint our city. Professors Svetlana and Katarina questioned us about previous points, but our experienced orienteering team was at its best. At the end Nadja drew a conclusion in French.

English and German language municipal competition

At municipal competition held at Milos Crnjaski School last week our students proved one more time that they were the best experts in Serbian and German language.

We commend 9B students and their results, congratulate and keep cheering on students who placed themselves into the next round of competition.

We wish them success in the next round of the competition which is going to be held 23rd March.

St. Sava

On 25th January Saint Sava Academy was held in our school. The festive program was held by members of drama club and the choir. Our teacher of Theology Sava Mumin held the sermon. After the manifestation students who were outstanding in some areas got Saint Sava’a awards.

Saint Sava play

Our school celebrated Saint Sava’s day in a salient way. We started the festivity with hymn and speech that represent the main idea of this festivity. Dancers presented their skills and the acting team astonished us in the play ‘The Lady Minister’. Mrs. Ivana Vukmirica, school manager, gave awards to students who deserved it by learning and well behaving. 31st issue of ‘Sokolske novine’ has been published.

The Spawn of a Carp- Atelje 212

On 12th January high school students spent their Saturday evening in Atelje 212. We watched ‘The spawn of a carp’ and we were well prepared. This Aleksandar Popovic’s play is in our school programme so we revised our knowledge about certain moments in Serbian history. The theatre was full, the actors were excellent and the audience was delighted. The theme was grave, but if we realized that life was full of tragic and comic moments we would have chance to feel catharsis and think of the demise of family and an individual through social turmoil.
