Week in nature Y5-Y8

Week in Nature Y5 -Y8

Completing scout tasks, getting badges (e.g. courage, keeping secret, blindness, solitude), building a fire, putting up a tent, helping in the kitchen - these are all the activities of our week in the nature in Planinka near Dechtice. Pupils enjoy days outdoors without mobile phones and internet connection, with a ball in their hand and a friend by their side. We are having a good time, we are all healthy and full of energy for the next challenges. We are gradually getting closer to achieving the goal of the week-long stay - strengthening the bonds of friendship between the pupils, which will surely be strengthened during tomorrow's hiking trip.

OUR LIBRARY CELEBRATED ITS SECOND BIRTHDAY

Another year full of exciting adventures that the world of books opens is behind us and our Dvojbodka is one year older again.

We celebrated this momentous occasion with an actual reading performed by our distinguished guest Tibor Mrkvička Hujdič.

Together we are creating a culture of reading because we believe that books develop, inspire and enrich children. It is the foundation of learning itself.

May our library continue to flourish and we look forward to a dream and another year full of literary experiences.

NIGHT WITH ANDERSEN

Or as we already call it here, the SLEEPOVER at school. 

For some, a day full of expectations, for others, especially 1st graders, it is a big challenge to stay up late and sleepover at school for the first time. The emotion of the sleepover could be felt everywhere.
This year the theme was The Snow Queen and the story of Kai and Gerda.
Ordinary classrooms were transformed into little snow kingdoms in the afternoon, but no one was left out in the cold. 
The children had to show different kinds of skills, knowledge and all kinds of fun disciplines, but at the same time, they had to save their strength for the TREASURE, which was not easy to find. We are looking forward to the next sleepover of this kind.

Ski course

Greetings from the snow-covered hill in the resort of Skalka near Kremnica - to all from our year 1-4 pupils.

We did not experience a hard winter, but we still enjoyed riding on the slopes, improved our skiing skills, laughed a lot and made new friends. Apart from skiing, we relaxed in the wellness centre, had fun with various games and the whole course will be an unforgettable experience for us.

OPEN DAY

DURING THE OPEN DAY YOU COULD GET TO KNOW US BETTER

We hope that you felt comfortable in our school and that you learned everything you were interested in about BESST Primary School.

Thank you for your visit!

CHRISTMAS NEWS

This year's Christmas parties were all about Christmas magic, lights, heartfelt children's performances, Christmas workshops, delicious food, heart-warming gatherings and fragrant punch. We experienced three intense days of celebrating the coming Christmas together. The magical atmosphere during Advent was mainly created by our children with their lovely musical programme, the magical decorations, the glowing fire, and the gourmet delicacies in the atrium. Take a look at the photos and take a peek into our Christmas world.

ST. NICHOLAS VISITED US

Snowflakes were falling from the sky just as St. Nicholas and his helpers, the angel and the devil, were knocking on the doors of every classroom.

We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day with a white blanket.

The children were eagerly awaiting him with a carefully prepared programme. And so, various songs, poems and even a violin was played in one classroom.

The good children who come to our school deserve a reward, and that is why everyone got something from the St. Nicholas's bag.

Dear St. Nicholas, see you again next year.

DON'T LET THEM HURT YOU, TALK ABOUT IT!

This is the title of the theatre-educational performance for primary and secondary schools, which engagingly and innovatively deals with the issues of bullying, social inequality, harassment and the pitfalls of the Internet.

We think it is important to bring up these topics with children, discuss them and create a safe space where they can share their opinions.

The project is implemented under the auspices of the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of the Slovak Republic in cooperation with the Police Force and its authors are experts together with the Counselling and Prevention Centre.

A person is wise not only because of his knowledge, but also if he has a sensitive and empathetic heart.

BESST Halloween 2023

This year we had the opportunity to enjoy the wonderful Halloween atmosphere in our school. The program was varied, from Escape Rooms to Scavenger Hunt to a costume contest, but there were definitely many more activities! We all had a great time, and you can glimpse into the charms and secrets of our school through our photos too.

MATRICULATION OF FIRST GRADERS

Not only did the freshmen experience their big day in early September, but the act of being accepted as "big" students is just as solemn and meaningful for them.

The matriculation ceremony includes the taking of the freshman pledge and the presentation of diplomas. The children took up their role with determination and joy. We wish our freshmen many wonderful experiences, new adventures and knowledge that will helpfully accompany them on their journey of discovery.

LEGOLAND

The enthusiasm is reflected on the faces of our pupils as they enjoy a fantastic adventure in the land of building with the iconic LEGO bricks. The sun is shining and the good weather allows us to explore the many attractions. The children enjoy roller coasters, water rides and a scenic train ride that offers spectacular views of the whole of Legoland. In addition, we have the opportunity to admire the amazing Lego creations that transport us into a world of imagination and creativity. Every moment is precious to us and filled with the joy of this unrepeatable experience. We are sure that this trip will be a memory that our pupils will remember and share with others for a long time to come.

WE CEREMONY OPENED THE SCHOOL YEAR 2023/2024 😊

We are very happy that we can meet again, and together start another school year of gaining knowledge, experience and adventures.

We warmly welcome our Year 1 and new pupils, parents and employees who have joined our school family this year. We wish this year to be filled with new friendships, experiences and opportunities for you to explore.

This place is more than just "our school". It is a place where stories are made, where we all work together to create a life full of the values that are so important to us and our school: 'With heart, together, creatively, safely and challengingly'.

We wish to all our students a beautiful year at school BESST.

art camp

The artist sees what others only catch a glimpse of.  (Leonardo da Vinci)

And we really saw it during our ART CAMP! Together we visited art places and saw the beauty of colours materialised in eye-catching exhibitions, in Trnava Museum , Danubiana and in the history breathing paintings, sculptures and frescoes in the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist. Everyone found their favourite style of art. Children also enjoyed the art in the ongoing exhibition Landscape of Beauty - Ornament through the Eyes of Children at the Museum. The director of Trnava Television (MTT) and her team showed the children media art and everyone could experience being an editor, camera man or producer.  

Every day our art explorers became artists themselves - they worked with watercolour, encaustic, ceramic painting, combined techniques, lettering, intuitive upcycling and painting with giant brushes.  

It was a week full of good vibes, experiences and great ideas. 

year in 5 days

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to experience a year in five days? Our children experienced such a year in one week at summer camp. We enjoyed the best days of the year in five days. The children made Valentines, we had an Easter egg hunt, there was a Falloween costume parade, Secret Santa left us homemade gifts under the Christmas tree, and we welcomed the New Year during a spectacular party. We enjoyed a day at the ranch with the children, a training on the golf course, a trampoline park, climbing at the rope centre and a film at the cinema. Farewell friends!  

camp castle adventures

A camp full of adventures took us into the history of castles. We have visited Nitra Castle and Pezinsky Castle, which interested us with their ancient stories and history. We were rewarded with beautiful views of the Molpír castle. We also had fun with activities in our school. There were various cheerful games full of laughter, making and drawing castles and experiences from the trips. We even found a treasure in the school which we got to by solving puzzles and clues. On the last day we were entertained by great archers who taught us how to use a bow and arrow. And finally we made our own bow and arrow.

activity camp

Our camp was full of fun activities and adventures. The children learned how to clean, saddle and ride a horse. They also learned how to shoot a bow and the best three of them won an original archery medal. They tested their energy reserves  by jumping the trampolines as well as their courage by jumping from a height into the air bag. Playing group gmes in the Heroes Laser Arena, Team up center and doing quizzes that we prepared for them, they strengthened their team spirit. During the whole week, everyone was very happy to meet their good friends.

LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHINK

Summer is the time to relax, discover, get to know old friends and make new friends, especially at a summer camp. We experience it all in a camp named Little bit of everythink. We made our own pottery, cooled down in a cave, discovered the secrets of the stars and the sun, got to know the beauty of beekeeping, saw a big redwood, visited a gallery and even made shaman masks.

adventures of harry potter

This week, Besst School was transformed into haven for schooling young wizards! Little wizards and witches were placed in Hogwarts-like faculties and competed all week to win the Faculty Cup. The wizards and witches created wands, learned spell casting, transfigure, gather magical herbs and brew them into useful potions. The quidditch tournament was played with great enthusiasm, even though it turned out to be a very hard sport. All the games were highly interesting. After this sunny week, Besst School is twenty trained wizards richer!

holiday wanderers

Holidays are in full swing, so we put on our wandering boots and set out to explore the western Slovakia. We visited the ruins of the Katarínka Monastery, where we heard an interesting legend. We found out what the Haluzicka Gorge hides. Our next steps led us to the Minifarm in Lubina and to the castle Červený Kameň. There we watched a performance of falconers. We finished the whole week in the cinema.
