Thank you for your last post about talents. We agree that it's so important to find them in ourselves, be aware of them and have  determination to develop them - and not to bury them!
This week we had an event called Talents' Festival, where the  children could show their talents in singing and playing all sorts of musical instruments.

We also had some family picnics during which the parents, students and teachers could spend time together having fun and celebrating the fact that we all have families.

Therefore, the word of the week is FAMILY - RODZINA.

Next week is the last week in this school year, we break up on Friday 23rd June.

How about you? When does your holiday start?

Have a good weekend,
Mrs Slowik and everyone at SP118

Good Afternoon to you all!

Thank you sharing your word this week. It was interesting to hear all about children’s day and we think having fun is such an important part of childhood.

It is has been another busy week at St Joseph’s from school trips to lovely assemblies.

The leaders of our school , Year 6 shared an assembly all about talents. They linked this to a well know story ‘The Parable of the Talents’ and talked about the ways we can use our talents and share them with others. We certainly have some talented artists, footballers, musicians and gymnasts to name but a few at St Joseph’s

Our word this week is ‘ talents’ - talenty

How are you going to spread your talents to others this week?

Miss Marsh and everyone at St Joseph’s

Hello Friends,

We hope you rested well during your half-term holiday. It was interesting to read about your teamwork and sporting events. Especially about cricket, which is not very common here in Poland.

Last week we celebrated Children's Day, on 1st June. We love it because it's a very exciting and pleasant day. We get little gifts from our parents and school. That week we also go on short school trips. Our class went to an ice cream parlour and played at the playground after that. Some other classes went to the cinema or for a picnic in a park.

Our word of the week is ZABAWA - 'having fun'.

We are looking forward to learning your word of the week. Have a great second half of the term.

Mr. Bednarkiewicz and class 5a at SP 118

Dear Friends!

I hope you are all fine and that you've had a good week at school.

For many children in our school this week has been marked with taking their bike licensing exams. In the weeks preceding the exam the students had learned how to behave safely on the road while biking. They've also got to know all the road signs and the traffic regulations. The exam consists of theoretical and practical part.

How about you? Do you have similar exams in your countries? Please tell us about it!

The word of the week is SAFETY (bezpieczeństwo).

Take care and keep safe on the road!

The weather is beginning to pick up here too. We have just enjoyed two long bank holiday weekends which have been much needed and enjoyed by all.

We had a wonderful celebration, we have crowned our new King, King Charles. It was such a wonderful celebration and such a moment in history.

Do you know anything about King Charles? He is a very interesting person. He is qualified driver and pilot, he enjoyed painting, music and plays the cello.

This is our last week at school before winter holidays. Both students and teachers are looking forward to them. There are lots of great things to do during the holidays. When it snows, you can make a snowman and sledge down the hill. When you are in the mountains, you can go skiing or snowboarding. You can have a snow fight too :)  If it doesn't snow, you can stay at home and play board games, read books, chat with friends .
How do you spend your winter holidays in England and Ukraine?

Dear friends in England and Ukraine,

Thank you for your beautiful New Year's wishes! We hope you have all started the New Year well and are all fine!

This week we've received some letters from our friends in Ukraine. What a lovely surprise! It's such a rare and unusual thing nowadays to get a hand-written letter! What a joy it was to read them and look at all the drawings you included in the letters!

It reminds us of how important it is to stay in touch with one another and how vital it is to have relationships with people.

That's why our phrase of the week is: LET'S KEEP IN TOUCH (in Polish: BĄDŹMY W KONTAKCIE!).
By the way - how do you say it in Ukrainian? :)

Have a lovely weekend and... keep in touch! :)

Our country celebrated a very special day- St.Nicholas' Day(19th December).
In the morning on Saint Nicholas' Day children in Ukraine find sweets and presents under their pillows.They believe that Saint Nicholas brings them at night.If a child was good,he or she gets a present and sweets.But if a child behaved badly,he or she may find a twig or a piece of coal under their pillow.
During the last week we did a lot of handmade presents,drew many pictures and brought sweets for our army and displaced children.

How about your Christmas preparations?

Have you heard about hand-made Advent Calendars? We have one in our school at the hall.  It is not a typical calendar with sweets. There are very nice snowy houses on it that have numbers from one to twenty four.  Every day children can discover a new task to complete from the calendar. Tasks are different, for example to write a letter to Santa Claus. Have you got something like that at your school?

We had a lovely theatre group come in and do a performance for our Year 3,4,5 and 6 children.  We have also been doing various activities through the week to help us think about what to do if we feel that we or someone else is being bullied.
We learnt STOP - Several Times On Purpose. We try and remember this and always reach out if we need support.

Hello, friends!

It was fantastic to read about the charity fair for the Ukrainian army. It all looked delicious!

Last week we celebrated Polish Independence Day. Every child in school was supposed to wear formal clothes and a rosette in our national colours - white and red. Strictly at 11:11 AM, we were singing the Polish national anthem. Our class also decorated our classroom really beautifully. We were thinking about the soldiers who died for our country and how good it is to enjoy the freedom of being an independent country. Before the end of World War I, for 123 years, there was no Poland on the map.

So our word of the week is - INDEPENDENCE (NIEPODLEGŁOŚĆ).

Hello Friends!

It was really interesting to hear about your coffee morning and cake sale. We hope you had a good half-term break. We have a bank holiday on 1st November for All Saints’ Day and on Monday we also don’t come to school so it’s like a short holiday (or a long weekend really).

This week students from class 5a went to a coal mine in Nowa Ruda which is also in the Lower Silesia region (like Wroclaw). It was fascinating to learn about what was it like to work in the mines where even children used to work in the 19th century! It was a dangerous job. But we had fun in the mines doing a game-quest: riding in mining railway carts, looking for Skarbnik the ghost and getting black from the coal... it was a real adventure! We loved it there!

So our word of the week is KOPALNIA – “mine”.

We are looking forward to your words of the week.

Have a great week!

With this hot weather, we have been incredibly lucky as a school to have had a pop up swimming pool on out playground. All the children (and staff) have the opportunity for swimming lessons each week during the school day. The children have really enjoyed learning the skill of how to swim as this is a vital life skill to learn.

Dear Friends,

Thank you for the post about Election Day in England. It's so good we can  have our say  in how our local communities are governed.

This weekend (May 14)  the World Fair Trade Day is celebrated and its motto is: "For People, For Planet".

Although Fairtrade was originally created to improve the life of farmers,  it also has a direct influence on the environment in which they live.

Therefore, on May 14th we want to encourage our pupils to organize  Fairtrade picnics -  to invite friends, sit on the blankets and talk about how better choices and fair trade can make a difference to the world.

We want to show others that we are fair.

How about you? Are you going to celebrate this day too?

The  word  of the week is FAIR (sprawiedliwy)

Hope you are all well and enjoying the beautiful Spring weather. The weather is beginning to heat up here in England and we are looking forward to enjoying fun times in the Summer.

This week has been really busy in school (even though it had only been 4 days)

Across the UK it has been Election Day (Thursday 5th May) . We are been able to have our say and make our vote count for our lives and those around us. This time we were voting for our local councils and who we think stands for our own values and supports our communities.

Dear Friends,

It is so great to hear from you. We hope that you all feel your best!

The Easter break has come to an end. Yet, there is time ahead full of national days waiting to be celebrated in Poland.
On May 2 we are celebrating the Polish National Flag Day. Our flag consists of two horizontal stripes: white and red. Its colours are based on the colours of the Polish emblem - white eagle in a red shield. The eagle wears a crown and it symbolizes the sovereignty and unity of the state.
This holiday is celebrated between International Workers' Day on May 1 and Polish Constitution Day on May 3. The Polish constitution was declared in 1791 and is generally considered Europe's first and the world's second modern written constitution!
Our students are planning to take some photos during these days so we'd like to share them next time!

Our words this week are: sovereignty - suwerenność and unity - jedność

Have a marvellous week!

Dear Friends,

With Easter on the way, we would like to share some information about the Holy Week.

Holy Week is the period preceding Easter in the Christian tradition. Holy Week begins 7 days before Easter Sunday. The first day of Holy Week is Palm Sunday, followed by Holy Monday, Holy Tuesday,...

Holy Week is a holiday in Christian churches commemorating the last days of Jesus Christ. It is also a period of preparation for the celebration of the Feast of the Resurrection, the greatest festival of Christianity.

Palm Sunday

The day commemorating Christ's arrival in Jerusalem and marking the beginning of Holy Week. Traditionally, palms are blessed at Mass on this day and then the faithful go in procession.

Maundy Thursday

Maundy Thursday is the first day of the Paschal Triduum. Maundy Thursday is the day commemorating the Last Supper, during which Jesus announced his imminent death. On this day, the Mass of the Holy Cross is celebrated in the morning and the Mass of the Lord's Supper in the evening.

Good Friday

Good Friday is a day of mourning and reflection, commemorating Jesus' death on the cross. On this day, as on Holy Saturday, the Holy Eucharist is not celebrated and the faithful observe a strict fast.

Holy Saturday

Holy Saturday is a day of mourning and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. On this day, as on Good Friday, no mass is celebrated, but food for the Easter table is blessed.

As we are all in the Christian community, we know you are celebrating just the same things this week. Isn't that amazing?

Therefore, the word of the week is COMMUNITY (wspólnota)

Have a blessed Easter time!

All the best from
Mrs Bielak, the staff and the students at SP 118

Spring is in the air and next week we will start our Easter break. In our school there are more and more displays about Easter symbols. Children prepare presentations about Easter traditions and customs. So here are a few words about our wonderful traditions...
In Poland on Holy Saturday children decorate hard-boiled eggs and bring them in a basket to the church for blessing. In the basket there is also some ham, some horseradish, some bread, some salt and pepper, some sausages and a lamb-shaped cake. Then on Easter Sunday families gather together to eat Easter breakfast or Easter dinner. Churches are filled with joyful songs about Christ's resurrection. Easter Monday in Poland is the day that all Polish children look forward to. It is the day when children and adults have fun by throwing water over each other, so be prepared to get wet!
We wish you all Happy Easter full of hope and love !

Happy Easter- Wesołych Świąt

Mrs Pietruszewski and everyone from SP 118

Good morning, dear Friends!

We really enjoyed reading about your "Boogie with the Bard" week and how you marked Earth Day. So many interesting things are happening in our schools!

Today, on 1st  April we celebrate an annual custom which is called Prima Aprilis in Poland. This is a day when people play tricks on each other for fun. A trick is like a practical joke.

We discuss the origin of that particular tradition in our classes and we talk about the funniest tricks that we have ever played!

Have a nice, relaxing weekend!

Hello to all our friends at SP118 and St Phillips,

It is so wonderful to hear from you, things have been very busy at St Joseph's so we are glad to be back sharing our learning with you all.

The weather is beginning to warm up here in England and Spring is very much approaching. It is one of my favourite times of year as we think about reflecting on ourselves and new life begins. This is a wonderful sentiment especially with the difficulties within our world at the moment.

This week is Earth Day and now more than ever it is so important to think about our world which was created for us. Year 5 shared an informative assembly on Friday which shared a message of how we can protect our world even simply things like turning off lights and recycling items at home and school.

Our words this week are " Protect our Earth"  Chroń naszą ziemię

Think this week which ways you can help look after our planet even more!

From Miss Marsh and everyone at St Joseph's

Dear Friends,

At last, spring is knocking at the door. You can feel it in the air... The sun is shining more often and flowers are blooming slowly. Each year it's like a new beginning. It should be easier now to look into future with optimism but it's not that simple this time...

Next week, we are celebrating The First Day of Spring which is on March 20th. We want to make our students forget about their worries for a while so they are going to take part in a contest THE CRAZIEST HAIRSTYLE EVER. We all hope that it will bring us a little joy in such difficult times.

Take care,

The word of the week is OPTIMISM.

Hello dear friends from our partner schools,

How are you? We have just finished celebrations of Cat Day 2022. It is an annual event in our school. Every year our students bring food to the librarians who organise a charity cat food collection. The food goes to all the stray cats that live in a village called Jodłownik. Our students have been very generous and we can be sure that  these cats won't suffer from hunger. At the library there is also a beautiful display of pictures depicting various cats.
We are looking forward to hearing the news from you.

Dear friends at St Philip's and St Joseph's!

It is so good to know our vocation. Like you, we experienced some very windy weather last week. We hope you stayed safe and that Storms Dudley, Eunice and Franklin haven't caused too much damage. We also hope you all had a good half-term break.

This week we celebrated a special day for all scouts, guides, beavers and brownies. It's called World Thinking Day and it is celebrated every 22nd February (the day when Lord and Lady Baden-Powell, the founders of Scouting and Guiding were born). It is the day of friendship when we think about our 'sisters' (and 'brothers') in all the countries of the world.

Some of our teachers and pupils came to school in their scout- or guide uniforms to celebrate the day.

Our word of the week is 'harcerz' - eng. 'scout' or 'guide'.

Wishing everyone a great week coming back to school.

And as the guides (and scouts) say: 'Be prepared!'

Czuwaj!

On 24th January 2022, is it National Compliment Day. The power of a compliment is pretty remarkable: either giving or receiving one can boost your happiness and confidence. You never know when someone could use some good vibes, so spread the positivity by giving someone a reason to smile!

Dear friends at St Philip's and St Jospeh's!

What a lovely idea to make Bambinellis! It does put everyone in Christmas mood!

We agree that being WISE in what we say and what we DO NOT say is very important.

This week has been spent in our school in preparation for Christmas. We've been decorating our classrooms, learning Christmas songs (in Polish and in English), making Christmas cards and baking gingerbread cookies.

As it's a very short time before we all break up for Christmas we would like to wish you a wonderful Christmas!
Please a have look at the animation prepared for you by one of our students.

All the best for Christmas and a Happy New Year to you, your Headteacher, all the Teachers, Children and their Parents!

We have come to the end of such a busy week in school. This time of year in school is always so enjoyable. Just like at St Phillips our children have been making Bambinellis and we shared them with the whole school this week.

Our values during this half term are 'learned' and 'wise'. We have been thinking and discussing the ways we can be learned and wise in our daily lives.

Our word this week is ' wise' - mądry.

Have a wonderful week and peaceful weekend.

Good morning St Philip's and St Joseph's!

Thank you for your wonderful posts.
Like you, we also started to prepare for Christmas, as Advent started last Sunday.
And we also take part in various kinds of charity donations all year round but in Christmas season especially.

Before Christmas lots of people in Poland take part in the charity called "Szlachetna paczka" ("Noble gift"). It is all about buying personalised gifts for people in need. First, we need to find out what a given person or a family is in need of, then we buy the needed items and wrap them up as a beautiful gift.
We are so happy we can cheer someone up in this festive season.

Have beautiful weekend. I hope we will all have lots of opportunities to help people in need.

The word of the week is PREZENT (Eng. gift)

Hello everyone,

The motto of this week in our school is: "It's our world, let's take actions together!" In the Global Education Week students at our school have learnt about some changes that we all can introduce into our life to make the world a better place to live. In lessons we have talked about Fair Trade and its magnificent role in improving working conditions in other countries.

This week we have also celebrated the International Day for Tolerance. On 16th November the volunteers from our school encouraged other students to make a big poster that would contain students' thoughts on the meaning of TOLERANCE in our lives.

During the lessons with tutors students tried to define what it means to be a tolerant person these days.

This is one of the definitions they created:

T- trustworthy

O- open- minded

L- loyal

E- empathic

R- responsible for own deeds and actions

All the best,
Mrs Pietruszewska

A- adaptable

N- nice

T- thoughtful

Good afternoon to our lovely friends at Sp118 and  St Phillips,

Thank you for your lovely work this week. It is such an important day to mark and celebrate.

Like you, we also celebrated a special day this week on 11th November which was Remembrance Day or Armistice Day. On this day we remember the end of WW1. At 11o'clock on 11th November, the country takes part in a 2 minutes silence to remember those who fought and died from our freedom today.

Year 1 led a whole school assembly today all about Remembrance. The children explained it very well. They taught us why the poppy is such a poignant symbol during November. They were very thoughtful.

Our Word this week is 'rememberance' - 'pamięć'

Today we would like to tell you about a special day celebratated in Poland called  All Souls’ Day.

All Souls' Day is celebrated every year on 2nd November to honour the deceased relatives. This is a special occasion to completely dedicate one day of the year to pray and remember the souls.

We discussed Polish customs connected with this unique day in our school. Traditionally, people visit cemeteries to light candles and pray for the souls, especially those believed to be in purgatory.

Thank you very much for the word of the week. This week we are talking about all Saints' Day. In Poland it is a bank holiday and  it is celebrated on 1st November. On that day people travel to their relatives and go together to the graves of their beloved ones. Polish cemeteries are full of flowers and  candles lit on the graves. People pray and pay tribute to the deceased ones and show that although they are no longer around us they are always in our hearts and thoughts.

Today we would like to share with you our idea of a new music project taking place in our school. We've just begun our musical adventure with the school's brass band!  Our students are learning to play the saxhorn, the saxophone, the trumpet, the clarinet, the flute and the percussion instruments -  from scratch. Therefore we have to wait a while for the first melodies, but we already have the first movie.

There will be also a knighting ceremony for first year students who will be granted the status of students of our school.

Good morning everyone!

Our school has been promoting FAIRTRADE idea for many years. We even managed to get a FAIRTRADE FRIENDLY certificate as one of first schools in Poland. That is why we try to make FAIRTRADE visible for our students and teachers. Last week, we were happy to celebrate COFFEE DAY at our school - especially FAIRTRADE coffee. We had lots of fun taking photos (including selfies:)) and gathering together in a staff room. Next time, we are going to invite our students and encourage them to promote the idea of FT to others.

Our word of the week: Fair (sprawiedliwy)

Good morning all!

As we are in the fist month of October we are celebrating Black History Month! We believe this is an important month to celebrate culture and identify people who have made a big impact in history and the way we live our lives today.

For BHM each class picked an icon who they then researched further and recorded a small presentation about their icon for the rest of the school to watch.

Therefore our word of the week this week is ICON - IKONA (pol).

Have a lovely week and we cannot wait to hear from you soon.

Good morning everyone!

Today we would like to share with you a story we heard on 3rd September when our students came back to school to start their journey into the world of knowledge, friendship and values. It goes like that ...

There was a little boy who lived on one side of the wall and was very interested in  the things happening on the other side. Nobody was able to tell him who the people on the other side of the wall were. The only thing he knew was that he should avoid them and never talk to them as they are evil. However, when he met a boy who lived there, it turned out that they were very similar and all the prejudices were based on wrong assumptions and fear.

This story is going to be with us through the whole year. We want to open our students' eyes to empathy and help them realize that we are all the same, no matter what your background is.

Therefore, the word of the week is EMPATHY - empatia

Hope you all have a fantastic week full of small good deeds that can change somebody's life and show them that we understand their needs and feelings.

From Mrs Pietruszewska and everyone at our school

Good morning SP118 and St. Jospeh's!

Thank you for your lovely word of the week - we enjoyed reading them and we agreed they are very important words.

On the topic of football and the Euro's as well, England played their game in the final Sunday night against Italy and we lost when it came to penalties. Nonetheless, we are very proud of our football team and proud of how far they have come for the first time in 50+ years.

Our word of the week this week is: proud (dumny).

We are so proud of our football team and cannot wait to see what they do for the World Cup in 2022.

Have a wonderful summer holiday, it has been so lovely to share the word of the week with you all and I cannot wait to continue it in September!

Miss Ford and everyone at Saint Philip's.

Good evening, St Philips and St Josephs!
Thank you for your lovely words of the week - so full of meaning. We also follow the Euro matches and witnessed the act of kindness you write about. Also, the topic of diversity is on our minds at our school very often too.

This week was the last week of our school year. Last Friday we broke up for holidays. So this is our last post before the summer break.

We are so grateful for the wonderful year of our cooperation. Thank you ever so much for every single word of the week we received from you. We were looking forward to them, we shared them with the entire school community and we cherished our link that way.

Our word of the week is THANK YOU.

Have a wonderful remaining time of the school year and a fantastic holiday!

Hope to see you again on padlet in September!

Mrs Słowik with all the teachers and all the kids at SP 118

Good morning to you all at SP118 and St Phillips,

We have had such another busy week in school. We are nearly the end of the school year so things are very exciting and busy!
As you know we are really enjoying watching the Euros and lots of classes at St Joseph's have been supporting teams and getting involved in different activities.
Although the football is about taking part of a competition and hoping to win as a team, there have been so many acts of kindness which have been a huge part of the competition. A Denmark player collapsed on the pitch during their game against Finland. Thankfully, the player is recovering but the most poignant moment was that his teammates helped the player and made a barrier around him to show their kindness and care for their player. Also, A English player had collided with the goalpost and the Croatian goalkeeper went to make sure the player was no hurt. In such an important sporting event, we are witnessing many acts of kindness and this shows us how we should care for others.

Our word(s) this week is -  akty dobroci
Can you things of acts of kindness you have done for someone or that someone has done for you?

Wishing you a wonderful and safe weekend. We look forward to hearing from you next week.

From Miss Marsh and everyone at St Josephs :)
