EVENTS
Cooking Workshop with Guests from Junior High School No. 6 in Katerini, Greece
During the visit of a group of students from Katerini, Greece, on March 19, 2026, we held a cooking workshop with an Easter theme. Eager seventh-grade students prepared a healthy salad lunch for our guests, who reciprocated with Greek specialties, including Greek salad and tzatziki. The collaboration was accompanied by conversations in English, giving instructions, and naming ingredients and steps. Another highlight was a presentation and dance lesson: the Polish polonaise with the participation of eighth-grade classes, as well as three Macedonian and Greek dances. The students also bonded by playing volleyball. In the classroom, the guests gave a presentation on recycling in their city and school; there were also discussions about the challenges in this area. We are delighted that the Greek students’ visit to our school took place in such a pleasant and creative atmosphere. We saw once again that joint art and drama classes—referencing Greek cultural heritage—as well as cooking, dance, and sports workshops bring people together in a remarkable way, regardless of the languages the children speak.
Visit by Students and Teachers from Junior High School No. 6 in Katerini, Greece
From March 16 to 19, 2026, we are hosting guests from our partner school in northern Greece. Seven students and three teachers from Junior High School No. 6 in Katerini, near Thessaloniki, are visiting our school as part of their EU Erasmus+ project on sustainable development. They are participating in classes, workshops, games, and dances. The invited guests are learning about Polish culture, history, and landmarks during sightseeing tours of Kraków. To celebrate their arrival, fifth-grade students prepared a special costume show featuring Greek gods. On Monday, Class 8b and the guests discussed issues related to ecology and environmental protection in Kraków, Katerini, Poland, and Greece. The art club, in turn, participated alongside their Greek peers in interesting “eco”-themed workshops about Kraków :) Our school guides from grades 6–8 also showed the Greek guests our school, all the modern facilities, as well as our commitment to tradition, which is reflected in the school’s mini-museum: the Memorial Room :)
Student Exchange with the Gymnasium in Eitorf, Germany
Since 2013, there has been a partnership between Primary School No. 39 in Krakow (formerly Junior High School No. 7) and Siegtal-Gymnasium in Eitorf, Germany. In March, we visited our friends again and spent an unforgettable, eventful week with them. The exchange program included not only observing classes, sports, and language games, but also a tour of Cologne (the Chocolate Museum and the zoo) and a game of 3D mini-golf in Bonn. We tried German Currywurst and experienced firsthand on multiple occasions that the German railway isn’t very punctual. There was no shortage of historical elements; we visited the Cologne Documentation Center on Nazism—the former headquarters of the Cologne Gestapo—and the House of History in Bonn, which focuses on German history after 1945. We really enjoyed staying at the school and the time spent with our host families. We’re already looking forward to the return visit in June.
Christmas Workshop in Ahlhorn
For the third time, members of our school choir traveled to Blockhaus Ahlhorn in Germany for Christmas workshops. They stayed there from December 11–18, 2025. Thanks to the efforts of Mr. Christian-Niels Heins, accommodation and meals were provided completely free of charge. The choir members took part in numerous holiday performances, where they presented their Christmas program prepared by Ms. Karolina Stasiowska.
STARS bicycle workshops
Last week, students from grades 2-5 participated in STARS bicycle workshops. They took place on the school premises, under the watchful eye of an educator from the Otwarty Plan Foundation, Mr Maciej Skinderowicz. Students did activities on bicycles and scooters, which, among other things, prepared them to obtain a bicycle card in the future or improve their already acquired riding skills. We would like to thank all workshop participants. It was a wonderful time.

The first day of autumn has arrived. Students of class 1c, as part of the "Ogród z klasą" project, planted 50 colourful crocus bulbs in the garden in front of the school. If little voles do not feast on them, we will see beautiful flowers in spring.
We keep our fingers crossed!

On September 13, students of class 1c participated in the ecological artistic workshops "Połącz się z naturą"; (Connect with nature).

The aim of the workshops was to create a work of art with an ecological theme, while learning how important it is to take care of the Earth. During the talk, the students understood the idea of upcycling. When creating three-dimensional works using the collage technique, little artists combined materials that could be considered garbage. Students were very involved in creating their works..
