World Autism Awareness Day is celebrated every year on April 2. The students of the COO Tomislav Špoljar celebrated this day on Tuesday, April 4, by talking and solving worksheets prepared for them by speech therapist Mia. The students hosted second-grade students from one of Varaždin's regular schools, and together they decorated Easter eggs and baked blue pancakes.
Ourhad the opportunity to take part in a technology and design activity during February and March. Mrs Gordon brought in her Technology and Design equipment. The pupils learnt about using the tools safely and wearing protective equipment. From wooden branches they learnt to drill fine holes and insert lead into them. They made small and large pencils. They then had the opportunity of writing with them before taking them home.
Students from the Friedrich-Elvers-School in Heide spent a happy day on a farm.
This is work completed by our Y10's. They were learning about coasts. They investigated erosion, and the detrimental effects to those working and living close to the coasts. Then they investigated how the moon's gravity effected the tides. Lastly they investigated the types of employment opportunities along the coast, from summer holiday, sessional work, to work on the seas and environmental employment.
Erinn our Y 12 pupil is attending the local Regional College
to complete her Vocational Course on Hair and Beauty. She agreed to talk to our KS3 girls about
what she is doing at college and how to look after their health by looking
after the hair and beauty through staying clean and tidy. She then completed a practical demonstration
with some of the girls (with previous parental agreement) modelling for
her. Everyone loved the afternoon.
Students of the Friedrich-Elvers-School in Heide decorated the school hall for easter.
Schoool
Games 2023
Competition,
sports and fun in Vienna on March 29, 2023.
More than
100 students with disabilities from eleven schools participated in the table
tennis tournament and bocce ball tournament. Sport and exercise for all - the
Schoool Games in Vienna were a great success again this year.
After all
the active participants had gathered in the sports hall, it was time to start
the Schoool Games. Boccia requires full concentration and physical effort.
Behind a
thick partition to the boccia talents there are seven table tennis tables just
waiting to be played on. The children and young people lost no time and get
going. Everywhere you look there was eager play, tactics, cheering or shaking
their heads in despair. ÖBSV mascot Flappy mingles with the athletes,
high-fives the winners and comforts the unlucky ones. The ORF captures the
great atmosphere in moving pictures, the loud boccia fans are in good voice
even after several hours of action.
Proud
winners and the crowning of great performances
After
several hours of intense sport, the shiny medals have well deserved their new
owners. To thunderous applause from the other students, the top finishers
collect their honours and a cloth mascot each.
FIDS10
table tennis team (Mohammad, Nibir, Carina and Omulbanin) with two third places
and one-2nd place.
All
participants had been assigned enormously strong opponents in their preliminary
rounds. However, Mohammad, Nibir and Carina managed to advance to the semi-finals
via the intermediate rounds. In the team duel between Mohammad and Nibir, Nibir
could prevail and qualify for the final. Against last year's tournament winner,
however, no set win was possible despite a very good performance. Since the
third places were not played, Mohammad reached the excellent 3rd place. After
Nibir had taken the third place last year, he succeeded in a further increase
and he rewarded for his performance with the 2nd place this year.
The
excellent 2nd place for Carina came as a surprise. In the final, she only had
to admit defeat to the outstanding winner of the past three years in a highly
dramatic final with 10:12/1:11 and 6:11.
FIDS10
bocce team with the tournament victory (Habiba, Hassina, Velina, Caroline and
Treasure)
After the
absence of some players, the two teams had to be re-formed by the coaches,
which proved to be an absolute stroke of luck in the further course of the
tournament in the constellation of Caroline and Treasure. After a bumpy start in
the first round, the two of them went on a brilliant run of success that could
not be stopped by their opponents even in the final match. This gave Caroline
and Treasure the first tournament win for FIDS10 in boccia.
We would
like to thank all the students who participated in the Schoool Games with joy
and enthusiasm, all the teachers who registered and accompanied their protégés
and all those who helped to organize this wonderful morning.
