Online meeting
for our teachers!
After mobility in Lithuania our student made presentation.
Before our mobility, we needed to prepare students and their parents about their obligations and duties during the mobility so we had a parent meeting in the school.
At the end of 2023, we participated with younger students from our school in a national competition to provide winners with the necessary materials and supplies for school work. This was not just another competition. We entered it promoting our cultural heritage and singing the famous Slavonian bećarac. In the video, you can see what it looked like.
Before Christmas, our students had to search for recipes for traditional cakes from European countries. In an online book, you can see what they have found. 🥣🍮🍰
6th-grade students made their suitcases to travel around European countries, visit cultural heritage sites, and enjoy the food and drinks each country offers.
You can see suitcases in the rotating image menu.
In December 2023, the third-grade students and their mentor, teacher Ivana Frančić, participated in the Millennium Competition, which has an international character and is held annually on various themes and in different categories. The students and the teacher decided to introduce younger school-age children to the Old Croatian script - Glagoljica - and therefore devised a board game to assist them learn about this script. In this way, they aimed to contribute to spreading the word that our school is participating in the ERASMUS+ project on cultural heritage.
The Museum of Art in Osijek
Pupils from the second grade visited the Museum of Fine Arts to familiarise themselves with the artworks of old Croatian masters from the Strossmayer collection.
It is an important part of Croatian cultural heritage as Josip Juraj Strossmayer was a patron known for his contribution to the cultural and educational development of Croatia.
The Museum of Slavonia
2nd-grade students and their teacher Ivana Frančić went to the Museum of Slavonia and learned about traditional folk music and musicians.
They learned about traditional instruments, the first recognised and most esteemed Croatian folk musician, and the date the first folk music record was recorded. In addition to music, they learned about old Croatian customs, the way of life of people in the past, and the impact that folk music had on everyday life.
Our Romanian Story
The sixth-grade students of Ivan Filipović Primary School, along with their teachers, visited Romania from 11th to 18th May 2024 as part of the Erasmus+ Project Digital Trace of Cultural Heritage.
We got to know a country of beautiful nature, rich history, and culture. The stay began with a visit to Timișoara, the largest city in Banat, located on the Bega River. It is referred to as "Little Vienna" due to its wide streets, squares, parks, and churches. The base for this mobility was in Tecuci, in the Galați region. We experienced this Romanian area in a content-rich, impressive, and educational way. We participated in various workshops, presenting the history, heritage, tradition, and culture of our homeland, our region, and the city of Osijek. At the same time, we explored, discovered, and learned about the local history, culture, traditions, museums, and churches. We became acquainted with Romanian schools, rural tourism, traditional ways of life, and local culture, including traditional crafts. We saw mountain ranges, vast and ancient forests, enjoyed the beauty of the Romanian plateaus near the Black Sea, and felt a sense of peace and connection with nature. We also visited their churches, monasteries, and jewels of sacred architecture. We savoured the local cuisine.
On our return, we visited Transylvania, the city of Brașov, and Bran Castle. In Brașov, we were most captivated by the Black Church. The city is filled with flowers and greenery, with streets lined with numerous restaurants. Bran Castle is a medieval fortress, popular for its association with the famous vampire Count Dracula. Today, it serves as a museum and tourist attraction. We explored towers, dungeons, and the picturesque landscapes of the dense Carpathian forests.
This journey provided us with new insights into the world, life, people, and ourselves. Travel changes a person; after a journey, we are no longer the same. "Wherever you go, it becomes a part of you." Anita Desai.
Visit Romania. Travel and learn. In our hearts, numerous memories and wonderful friendships remain.
Teacher Daria Atlagić
For the second consecutive year, we are participating in Erasmus Days, marking the occasion by inviting teachers from various schools in our area to our school. During a round table, we exchange experiences and disseminate our projects. This is how it was in 2024.
This year, we also participated in a neighbouring school that organised a round table for students to exchange experiences, as not everyone is involved in the same projects. Our students currently participating in the Digital Taste of Cultural Heritage project were eager to share their experiences with others. In addition to exchanging experiences, both students and teachers jointly took part in a quiz on knowledge about the European Union.
TIE DAY
On 18 October, our school appropriately celebrated Tie Day.
On that day, students wore this fashion accessory around their necks, learned something new about ties, and reviewed their history. Fourth-grade students created ties by painting in the style of the artist Piet Mondrian. This linked Tie Day with visual artists.
We paid tribute to this elegant fashion accessory that has become a recognisable symbol of Croatia around the world. The tie found its way from military equipment to a timeless fashion detail. Fiancées would gift a scarf to their fiancés as a sign of mutual value. Initially, ties were made from linen fabric and lace, and often from very expensive silk.
The story of the tie, which is now known worldwide, is a true treasure that beautifully represents our rich historical and cultural heritage to the world. A fourth-grade student successfully wrote an interesting short story on this occasion.
Millennial competition
Our project unfortunately ended but we still wanted to present the teacher's and parents student's experiences during mobilities. Hence, we met with theEighth-grade students Marija Maglica, Karla Mravunac, and Ana Orkić participated as a team of Mathematical Glagolitics in the 6th Millennium Competition in the creative industry, under the guidance of mentors Vesna Ivezić and Kristina Vučić. The competition took place on 5th and 6th December 2024 at the Faculty of Economics. They found inspiration for their conceptual solution in mathematics and play. They designed a board game called "The Quest for the Mathematical Glagolitic," which connects mathematics and Glagolitic script. The game "The Quest for the Mathematical Glagolitic" is an educational and entertaining game aimed at introducing children and young people to Glagolitic script, particularly numbers written in Glagolitic through mathematical tasks. The objective of the game is to solve mathematical problems written in Glagolitic and find the treasure chest.
IN THE END...
Our project unfortunately ended but we still wanted to present the teacher's and parents student's experiences during mobilities. Hence, we met with them to show everything we have seen and lived in Romania and Turkey.
