FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE, SCHOOL TIME IS THE BEST TIME

Prepared by:Andjelka Vugdelija, class teacher

and the pupils of the 2nd A,ES Marjan, Split

In this project we wanted the generation to which computers are an integral part of learning to learn more about the time when pupils wrote on school plates, learned letters from large spelling books

placed on the wall and had to do a large number of household chores beside learning.

Project implementation started by collecting old school photos, clothing and other items. The pupils searched their homes and asked their parents and grandparents for help.

They brought to school all the old items that they could find like textbooks, notebooks, bags, school uniforms etc.

During different activities and workshops, pupils have dealt with the topic in a cross-curricular way, applying a very modern approach and using interactive methods.

They worked in groups making posters and presenting to each other what they have explored, discovered and learned.

Pupils have learned a lot about school, school life as it once was and the changes that have occurred over time.

They also learned what the classrooms, the clothes and the bags looked like.

The pupils have expressed their experience of the best time in life through words and pictures.

A workshop Who loves you more than me.

Children made Memory Books like the old ones they have found which were filled with pledges of love and friendship.

The presentation of the project

Exhibition "The Embrace of tradition and friendship"

The exhibition was divided into several interconnected but independent units.

Each poster told a part of this interesting story.

A story of tradition, school, heritage and friendship is told through original items and interactive content.

The visitors were delighted with the exhibition which can be seen from the Book of impressions and appearances in the media.

Inspired by the famous saying which brings us back to the

carefree days of our childhood and awakens

memories, we have raised the awareness and love for the

school and pedagogical heritage, reviving forgotten everyday school life of our

ancestors.

The conclusion

In the end, we can say that this story greatly enriched our everyday school life.

The story of the school time as the best time in everyone’s life.
