Traditional Garden Party

Pendolino full of tourists
Arrived with a cheer,
Brought the actors, dancers, artists
To the PARTY of the year!

Students, parents and the school friends,
With the ones who teach
Came in May to meet and see them,
This year ON THE BEACH!

VISITORS FROM DENMARK

From the 21st to 25th of April we had Danish visitors. For 5 days they lived with us and learned about Czech culture. Our teachers prepared a programme beginning with a visit of the Terezin camp and afternoon bowling on Tuesday. On Wednesday we played sports at school and in the afternoon we prepared a speech about some interesting places of Prague. We had lots of fun on Thursday morning, when we went to the rope center. In the afternoon our Danish friends had a chance to buy some gifts for their families. On Friday they were already on their way home...
We are looking forward to see them again and visit the nice places of Denmark.

Deutscholympiade

Am sechsten Februar habe ich an der Schulrunde der Deutscholympiade teilgenommen und ich habe gewonnen. Ich habe es nicht erwartet und war sehr froh. Die nachste Runde war wieder in unserer Schule und hier waren Kinder aus den Schulen von Prag 6.
Wir haben ein Hortest und dann ein Gesprach mit der Komission absolviert. Ich war sehr nervos und vielleicht auch deshalb war ich die zweite. Mein Mitschuler Dominik Sipos hat gewonnen und das finde ich sehr gut.

ANTIFET-FEST

Our school took part in the annual amateur film contest called ANTIFET-FEST. It is a part of the preventive programme against various addictions and crime organized by the Magistrate of Prague and the local authority of Prague 12. We sent to this round three films made by the pupils of 8.A, 9.B and 9.C.
The award ceremony was held in the theatre Semafor on the 6th May 2008. Our „film-makers“ were very successful that day! The contest was won by the film „Modrý slon“(= A blue elephant) made by our pupils Fanda Hába(9.B), Willem Heida(9.C) and David Jánský(9.C). This film also received a winning award of the present spectators. The „bronze medal“ was won by the film „ZjednoDUŠEně“ (=SimpliSOULfied) made by Matouš Pinkava, Jirka Procházka, Anička Růžičková, Bětka Majerčinová and Honza Srna from the class 8.A.
The winning film „Modrý slon“ will represent our school and all the Prague 6 schools in the Prague final round on the 11th June 2008. Congratulations for all the participants and good luck to the boys!

DigiSkills meeting in Prague

From 4th to 6th May 2008 our school organized a meeting of all DigiSkills partner schools.
On Monday morning forty teachers and students were invited by Mgr. Tomas Chalupa, the mayor of Prague 6, for breakfast and then they went on a Prague sightseeing tour.
The most difficult work started after lunch when the students, divided into four groups, set off on the Prague Quest walks across Romantic, Hospitable, Entertaining and Making the money fly Pragues. They were asked not only to record given places, but also answer some questions. On Tuesday morning they were supposed to trim their results in four short films. You can see them on our project vlog Prague Quest (http://edigiskillspraguequest.blogspot.com/).
Everybody was amazed by the Prague beauty and they are planning to come back one day.

„ArtCrossing“

On Thursday 30th April 2008 our class 9.C went to the National Gallery in Prague. We had a workshop there called „ArtCrossing“. It is a multimedia educational project for pupils, students and teachers. It was guided by an artist who taught us how to use Arkaos, a video DJ (VJ) programme. Afterwards we were given digital cameras and we went to the exposition of F. Kupka´s paintings. We took photos of some of the paintings and we VJ´d them. It was pretty hard to manage the programme, but the final clip, which you can see, is actually nice. We enjoyed it, it wasn´t boring at all!
