On November 16, 2018, we organised our first Quiz night together with a sleepover for students of year 5-9.
The students competed in teams of four to six members. Each quiz round consisted of two categories such as science, Harry Potter, school life, eco life, etc. All students proved their competitiveness and knowledge.

On 25th and 26th October 2018, an exhibition of bookmarks made by BESST pupils took place at our school. The exhibition was successful and, after it was finished, the bookmarks were sent to the partner school in Bošany, who prepared bookmarks for us.
International Month of School Libraries (International School Library Month) was announced in 2008 by James Henri, President of the International Association of School Librarianship, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the International School Library Day.
The aim of the Czech-Slovak project
Establishment of network between Czech and Slovak elementary schools and high schools and support for reading through bookmark exchanges. Pupils create a bookmark using any technique in the theme of the Czech-Slovak project called ‘Tales, Fables, Stories without borders‘ and exchange it with pupils from the assigned partner school. School exchanges can be used to establish cooperation, contacts or language, literature, history, culture, regional customs or pupils' lives in different regions of the Slovak or Czech Republic as well as cross-cutting themes in the school education programme or as part of the school project .
On 11th November we visited Teatro Wustenrot in Bratislava to see Ray Bradbury`s beautiful and interesting musical PYGMALION performed by English Drama Group. For many of us it was a great opportunity to compare the well-known My Fair Lady musical starring Audrey Hepburn with the theater adaptation and to see how the actors handled some of the famous scenes and dialogues.
On October 18, 2018, an exhibition of folk ornaments was opened in Bratislava. Our school was represented by Ms. Adela Melišeková, who, as the curator of the exhibition, presented ornaments drawn by children. BESST students also took part in this project – they created one poster of the ornamental map and 20 ornaments representing not only Trnava, but also adjacent villages.
The project "Ornamental map of Slovakia" is part of an international integration project, aimed at recognizing traditional national cultures and protecting world cultural heritage. The goal of the project is to represent Slovakia and its culture as part of the world cultural heritage.
The project motivates pupils to a creative co-operation on a joint work.
It respects the differences between children and the right of all to equal access to education without discrimination and prejudices.
The exhibition is traveling all over Slovakia, while the closing ceremony will be held in Vienna in 2019.
From 6th October to 21st October 2018. our school participated in the EU Code Week 2018. The EU Code Week is also supported by the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sports of Slovak Republic.
Students from 4.A, 4.B and 6.B. took part in the project. They programmed in several environments:
1st on iPad = Ozobot, Lightbot Hour, Scratch Jr.
2. PC = Scratch
What is EU Code Week? It is a grass-roots movement that celebrates creativity, problem solving and collaboration through programming and other tech activities. The idea is to make programming more visible, to show young, adults and elderly how you bring ideas to life with code and bring motivated people together to learn.

We visited a farm in Modra, minifarm in Lubin, Malkia Park, Bratislava zoo and many more. We ended our week with a visit to Modrova farm, where we learned about New Zealand inhabitants - Maori. We saw many animals, managed to feed and pat some of them or even and take photos.

on 27th June 2018 pupils from 3.A and 3.B class visited Fisherman's Court in Piešťany. They watched the Antique Museum, where they could mint their coins and try an ancient fight - turtles. After the show, they sailed on the Hyperborea boat. The trip was very interesting and the pupils went home filled with positive experiences.
Like many times, at the end of the year, we planned a whole-year trip together. This time we chose to go to Malkia Park, where we were welcomed by a lovely lady and many animals that we learned a lot about. It was a trip full of interesting information and great experiences. We had a great fun together and now we are looking forward to further trips that we will experience over the next few years.

Both Y4 Classes decided to visit the beautiful city of Banská Štiavnica in Slovakia. Two animators were waiting for us to accompany us to the elevated stone quarry. There we have tried to find and dig the ore and minerals. We stopped in the mine were we walked and experienced how our miners used to work. At the end we had an opportunity to process and polish our gems and to give these unique jewels to our parents.
