Impressions about the Comenius project beginnings in our school in Poland
26 September, 2011
On 26th September 2011 in Junior Secondary School
no 2 people celebrated European Day of Languages. In connection to this
celebration commemorated in Europe for a few
years, foreign language teachers prepared a lot of attractions for teenagers.
Among these attractions there
were songs in English, German and Russian played on every break. Pupils led by
their teachers prepared the posters which were put onto the door of English and
German classrooms. In the hall on the ground floor you could see the decoration
done by Mrs Beata Granacka and her pupils.
The climax of this year’s
celebration were quizzes prepared by foreign language teachers group: English –
Mrs Magdalena Zielińska and Mr Andrzej Kulbacki, German – Mrs Agnieszka
Hajkowska-Miklaszewska, Russian – Mrs Beata Granacka. The quizzes were led on the gym and every
year took part in them on a different lesson. First classes chose from their
classes 5 representatives each and they answered 15 questions. Every team got a
question set which was connected with three chosen language areas: English,
German and Russian. Second and third class chose 4 or 5 representatives each
and they answered 10 questions from every language area so at all they answered
to 30 questions. The participants wrote their answers on the pieces of paper,
which they gave at the end of the quiz. The hostess and the host checked the
correctness of the answers and wrote points of all groups on the blackboard. At
the end of the quizzes leading teachers read aloud all the correct answers to the
questions. Then the third, the second and the first place were announced. Those
participants who gained third and second place got bookmarks with irregular
verbs as booby prizes and winning classes got lollipops.
The teenagers were having a
lot of fun and what is the most important they intensified their knowledge
about the countries which languages are taught at school.
The gym was decorated too as
the quizzes were led there. It was prepared by pupils under the supervision of
their teachers: Mrs Agnieszka Hajlkowska-Miklaszewska and Mrs Magdalena
Zielińska. Mr Andrzej Kulbacki was responsible for taking the pictures.
The celebration of The
European Day of Languages are the element of the realization of the
international multilateral school project in European program Comenius named
“Tea Garden”. The project starts in the autumn this year and lasts for two
years. The members of the project are schools and educational institutions from
Portugal, Italy, Germany

The piece of information about the celebration of the mentioned holiday will be
passed in English to all the members of the project and we will get a
returnable piece of information about that day in their schools instead.
