Hello! Hi! Welcome! Welcome to our bloog. We are the students of Primary School in Gniewkowo. We are 12 years old. We go to the 6th class.”

Our games- “Kolko graniaste” and “Stary niedzwiedz”. These are two games the children in Poland play very often.

The first game is called “K??ko graniaste”. The children stay in a circle and hold hands. They move in accordance with the hand of the clock and sing a song: ” K??ko graniaste, wielokanciaste, K??ko nam si? po?ama?o, cztery grosze kosztowa?o, a my wszyscy b?c”. On the word “B?C” the children bounce and squat.

First the children choose a bear (one child) that squat in the centre. It close the eyes and begin to snore loudly. The rest of the children walk around the bear and sing: “Stary nied?wied? mocno ?pi, stary nied?wied? mocno ?pi, na palcach chodzimy, bo si? go boimy, jak si? zbudzi to nas zje, jak si? zbudzi to nas zje. Pierwsza godzina-nid?wied? ?pi, druga godzina-nied?wied? chrapie, trzecia godzina-nied?wied? ?apie!” On the words “Nied?wied? ?apie!” (The bear is catching”) the children run away and the bear catches one of them. The child who is caught becomes a new bear.

“Spartakiada” is the competition for children, especially for scouts, which took place on 5th December 2008 in our school. It is the fourth time it was hold in Gniewkowo. The children from different schools came to our town. The event started when the children walked the streets of Gniewkowo with Santa Claus, who came to them by bike.

Every year in April the students of the 6th class (the last grade), before finishing the primary school, write the final exam which shows the level of their knowledge and skills. Earlier in November the students write a mock exam helping them to evaluate the way they learn. In the photo the students are writing the mock exam (21st November 2008).

The students of the 1st classes are given the names of “The readers” by the headmistress.

The children are giving the pledge to be good readers.

These are the students who prepared the artistic programme.

St Andrew’s Day celebrated in Poland on 30th November. It is a day of getting to know our future, it is a day of foretelling. One of the most popular omens is pouring the wax on water andd guessing the future from the shadow and shape of the wax.

Another way of knowing the future. Who will be my wife/husband? On the one side of the heart there are boys and girls names. We are piercing the heart and then checking on the other side of the heart the names of your future partners.

It’s time for a party…
