Only healthy ingredients were allowed: spelt or oat flour replaced white flour, maple syrup was used instead of sugar, and homemade unsweetened jam and plenty of fresh fruit added natural sweetness and color. The results were truly impressive — the students created what we can confidently call the most delicious healthy pancakes in the world!

The boys even surprised everyone with an extra healthy dessert made from Greek yogurt, healthy biscuits, chia seeds, and fresh fruit. Their creativity made the decision incredibly difficult, and in the end, choosing a winner was impossible — so the competition happily ended in a tie.

Meanwhile, the teacher prepared a refreshing homemade juice made from oranges and carrots, completing the healthy experience. Everything turned out wonderfully, and we spent two amazing hours learning, collaborating, and enjoying time together.

A fun activity, great teamwork, and many new skills learned — a perfect recipe for success!

We decided to take a short break and enjoy some fresh fruit together. It was a simple but meaningful choice that reminded us how important even a piece of fruit a day can be in the long run for our body and health. Eating fruit gave us energy, improved our focus and created a positive atmosphere in our classroom. I strongly believe this small action encouraged my students to make better choices in their everyday life. 🍎🍏🍌🍒🍊🍋🍇🍉🥝🫐🥭🍍🍐🍑

After a good brain gym session, you feel very different. First, your brain feels like a warm muscle. It is very sharp and ready for new information. You can focus on your homework better than before. Sometimes you feel a little tired, but this is a good sign. It means your neurons are making new connections. You feel happy because your brain releases a chemical called dopamine. This chemical makes you feel like a winner. Your memory gets stronger and your imagination grows. After the gym, your mind is quiet and peaceful. Now, you are ready for a big adventure!

First, we had a short discussion about their favourite fruits. I was happy to find out that they all liked fruits and try to eat them every day.

The Power of Rhythm in Life

​Rhythm is much more than just a musical concept; it is a fundamental pillar of a balanced and fulfilling life. Developing a sense of rhythm—whether through music, movement, or a structured daily routine—directly contributes to mental and physical wellbeing by reducing stress and harmonizing the body’s internal systems. Furthermore, mastering rhythm boosts self-confidence, as it improves coordination and gives an individual a sense of control and "flow" in their actions. By aligning ourselves with the natural cadences of life, we cultivate a healthier lifestyle that supports both emotional stability and physical vitality.

# data[].attributes.body
Harmony and Vitality Through Rhythm

​Embracing rhythm is essential for maintaining a high quality of life, as it acts as a bridge between the mind and the body. When we synchronize our habits with a steady pace, we experience a significant boost in wellbeing, feeling more grounded and less overwhelmed by the chaos of modern life. This rhythmic consistency fosters self-confidence, allowing individuals to move through the world with a natural grace and a sense of belonging. Ultimately, a life lived in rhythm is a healthy life, where physical energy is optimized and mental clarity is sustained through the beautiful balance of movement and rest.

Fruit Time in the Classroom

​Today, we organized a "Fruit Hour" in our classroom, and it was a highly rewarding experience for everyone. This activity goes beyond just a healthy snack break; it plays a crucial role in promoting healthy eating habits among students from an early age. By sharing different fruits, students learn about diverse flavors and the nutritional importance of vitamins. Furthermore, this event fosters a sense of community and social bonding, as sharing a meal encourages conversation and cooperation. Overall, fruit time is an excellent way to support both the physical well-being and the social development of students in a fun, interactive environment.

In the discovery class, students, together with the teacher and the teacher's assistant, created a recipe for healthy pancakes. Instead of sugar, a banana was chosen, and instead of flour, a whole grain alternative was used. The students baked the pancakes themselves, tasted them and evaluated them using five senses: what do I see, what does it smell like, soft or crispy, what do I feel in my mouth, what does the pancake taste like?

During reflection, many students were happy with the experience and wrote that in the future they would try to replace sugar with more natural products, and the pancakes baked at school seemed to them the most delicious in the world.
