Even though the current situation does not allow us to study and meet in person at school, our first-graders are not giving up and they continue in distance learning with (almost) the same results while studying at home. Everyone including our Y1 students is doing a great job!

Who lit up the faces of our children today? Of course, it was Saint Nicholas with his entourage!

Our last week of BESST summer camps was filled with adventures of life in nature. We found that it is not only hard work but also fun. We started our adventure in the Corn Maze in Vlčkovce. Janka from Baterkáreň told us about herbs and together we made lavender bags, herbal soaps and bath bombs. At Kamenný mlýn ponds we caught a few small fish, which we then let back into the water. We tried out several crafts on Dolné Orešany farm - we tried ourselves as bakers, pottery and wireworks... The Maradriam kennel gave us a quick course in agility, breeding and care for Sheltie dogs and long-haired Collies. We ended our great week in Medolandia in Dolná Krupa. Here we learned something new about bees, we saw a pack of honey, expored the area and enjoyed a great lunch. We look forward to next year.

We started the week with a film morning, where we got acquainted with animated images of music. We used this experience in intuitive painting. The following days we tried Think Art and The Big Picture techniques. We enjoyed a trip to the manor house in Dolná Krupa, where, in addition to interesting paintings, we had the opportunity to see a forty-five-meter redwood tree in a historical park. On the last day of our camp, each of us tried out what it’s like to be Picasso.
Throughout the week, we worked on our memorial book, in which we recorded all the wonderful experiences that the Young Artist camp brought us.

Did you know that social networks were here before the Internet? Or that it can sometimes better not to tell the truth? And what exactly is personal data?
Our Year 4, 5 and 6 pupils had an opportunity to find out more about this during interactive webinars on social networking and personal data protection which were delivered by professionals from DigiQ and KPMG Slovakia. Since this is a very popular topic among children, we are also preparing another interactive webinar where experts will answer their questions.
To make sure parents are also familiar with the online world, we are also preparing a webinar about the same topics for parents.
