EVENTS
Day of the school’s patron
    The first battle of the Kościuszko Uprising took place near Krakow. It was April 4, 1794. At that time, the insurgent army numbered only 6,000 people (including 2,000 peasants, armed only with scythes and pikes). Russian troops had similar numbers but were better trained and armed (including cannons). The battle started around 3 p.m. The Poles could not break the enemy forces, meanwhile, the second column of Russian troops began to approach the battlefield. The situation was becoming dangerous for Poles. Kościuszko then decided to introduce the scythemen left in reserve into the fight. The Krakow scythemen showed great courage. Wojciech Bartos and Stach Świstacki reached the Russian cannons and extinguished the burning fuses with their hats so that the guns could not fire. At eight o'clock in the evening, the battle was over and the Russians withdrew... ...immediately after the battle, Kościuszko appointed the bravest of the scythemen, Wojciech Bartos from the village of Rzędowice, as the standard-bearer. He also gave him the name Bartosz and surname - Głowacki./J.K./

Waiting for spring

We hope that the harvest will be successful because the children conscientiously look after the plants. On the first day of spring, the class celebrated a day without a backpack. The students' creativity knows no limits - there were picnic baskets, buckets, pillowcases, pots, animal carriers, suitcases, a chessboard and... a LEGO man's head. Interested students also took part in the school competition.
First Aid workshop 🚑

Thank you very much for the great workshops and a lot of useful information! :) 🙂

New tree seedlings in our school!
    As part of the FruitPrint.pl project, which refers to the tradition from the beginnings of our school - fruit growing, fruit tree seedlings were planted around our school. Apple trees - the Ananas Berżenicki and Cukrówka Litewska varieties, and pear trees - the Klapsa and Konferencja varieties have already taken root and are developing buds. The project aims to create a diversity of varieties, both well-known and less popular ones. In addition, the trees will be marked on a special planting map so that in the future, knowledge about the living gene bank of old varieties will be available in Krakow and nationwide public space.

    On March 15, as part of developing reading interests, students of class 2b showed the class their favourite books. Children picked fairy tales, short stories and popular science albums.

It was also an opportunity to learn about different alphabets.
