An orientation march (Poland)

In October our students partcipated in an orientation march which aim was to promote a healthy way of living combined with some mental activity. Students got maps with historical buildings drawn on them and they had to find those buildings. There were also specific tasks to be completed while on the way. The weather was good, the students were full of energy and the tasks were done in a very fast way - so the teachers were proud of them! ;)

The whole activity was prepared by our biology teacher who deals with orientation marches in our school. In Zespół Szkół no 7 this kind of events has a long-standing tradition. Our students usually take part in orientation marches devoted to biological or historical subjects. 

There are many benefits of such an activity, mainly:

- Students develop logical thinking

- They learn content-knowledge for particular subjects

- They have to cooperate with each other - team work is promoted

- All the benefits of physical activities are experienced

- They get to know better with each other and their teachers

- It's just fun!

SI: The School Festival (Poland)

In September we celebrated at our school The School Festival. This is the annual event that gathers the representatives of local community (teachers, students, parents, local authorities). That’s the occasion to boast about the school’s achievements and various projects we are proud of. 

The Erasmus+ project has also become the part of this year’s festival. As the third year of the project is generally devoted to physical activity and its benefits to the body we decided to implement various sports activities into that day’s schedule.

All of them were prepared by our PE teachers and everybody could try to take part in them. There were archery, set shots, cricket, climbing, karate any many other sports disciplines. Below you can see photos of that event.
