Trudili smo se pratiti što smo više mogli kako bi saznali što se u našoj školi događalo ove školske godine. Bilo je tu obilježavanja raznoraznih važnih datuma, projekata, izvannastavnih aktivnosti, natjecanja i čiste zabave. Ovo je prvi puta da Kapljice izlaze u hrvatskoengleskom izdanju iz razloga što su nastale na dodatnoj nastavi engleskog jezika za 8. razred. Nadam se da ćete uživati čitajući novi broj i u njemu naći nešto što niste znali i nešto će vam biti baš zanimljivo.

Dobro došli u prvi razred! 7. rujna, 2015. počeo je prvi dan nastave u novoj školskoj godini. Naša škola je bogatija za 57 nova učenika koja su krenula u prvi razred i koja su se taj dan mogla osjećati posebnima. Učiteljice razredne nastave, Ivana Špiljak, Ivana Madunić i Đurđa Radošević zajedno sa svim drugim djelatnicima i učenicima s nestrpljenjem su čekali prvačiće na prvi dan. Dočekali smo ih kratkom priredbom dobrodošlice, lijepo ukrašenim učionicama i zabavnim aktivnostima. Krenuli smo u školu mi ovako mali da bismo učili i sve više znali. Želimo im sretnih i uspješnih osam godina u našoj školi! Brojeve i slova i svijet oko nas, prijateljstvo i slogu, boje i svoj glas. 3 Obilježen Dan igara Učenici 4.b i 4.c razreda naše škole obilježili su Dan igara 17. rujna 2015. godine, sudjelujući u zajedničkom projektu NIVEA i Saveza Društava naša djeca „Neka odrastanje bude dječja igra“. Cilj projekta bio je poticati djecu na zajedničko druženje, učenje i kreativno stvaralaštvo kroz igru u obiteljskom okruženju i u slobodno vrijeme. Naglasak je na popularnim i omiljenim igrama djece Europe koje se u izvornom ili prilagođenom obliku igraju u raznim dijelovima svijeta, tako i u Hrvatskoj. Jeste li znali? Na stranici http:// www.roditelji.hr/vrtic/igre-nasemladosti/ možete pronaći detaljni opis pravila starih igara i dobro se zabaviti sa prijateljima! Školica, gumi-gumi, hula-hoop, Crvena kraljica, pikule, prenošenje vode ili mali kuhari, jabuka na stolcu, nogomet,... samo su neke od igara koje tog petka nisu pale u zaborav nego se prenijele i na buduće naraštaje. OŠ Stjepana Kefelje na Smotri hrvatskog školskog filma u Sinju U Sinju je od 16. do 18. rujna 2015. godine održana treća po redu Smotra hrvatskog školskog filma za učenike osnovnih i srednjih škola. Domaćin je bila OŠ Ivana Lovrića Sinj. Osnovna škola Stjepana Kefelje pozvana je na smotru zahvaljujući igranom filmu Zlo se dobrim vraća, rad filmske družine škole. Školu su predstavljali učenici Josip Ćorković (8.r.) i Bruno Pavličić (7.r.) te njihov voditelj i mentor Goran Šporčić. Proveli su tri prekrasna i sadržajima bogata filmska dana u Sinju. Imali su mogućnost vidjeti čak četrdesetak filmova osnovnih i srednjih škola u svim filmskim rodovima. Teme su i dalje raznovrsne, većinom vezane uz školu, obitelj i ljubav. Raspravljali su o filmovima, zabavljali se, upoznali grad Sinj i puno novih, zanimljivih ljudi iz cijele Hrvatske. Motivacija je opet tu, u ponedjeljak nakon revije su već počeli pristizati novi scenariji. 4 Nova računala u računalnoj učionici "www.carnet.hr/učenici nudi vam puno veselih aplikacija od e-knjižnice do web prostora i učenja na daljinu” Broj tema u novinskim brošurama gotovo je neograničen. Možete napisati članke u čijem su središtu najnovije tehnologije ili inovacije u vašem području. Možete uvrstiti i poslovne te ekonomske trendove ili pak predviđanja za svoje kupce ili klijente. Ako se novinska brošura distribuira interno, možete komentirati nove procedure ili poboljšanja u poslovanju. Rezultati prodaje ili zarada pokazat će koliki je rast vašeg poslovanja. Neke novinske brošure sadrže stupac koji se ažurira u svakom broju, primjerice stupac sa savjetom, recenziju knjige, pismo predsjednika ili uvodnik. Možete i stvoriti profil novih zaposlenika ili pak najboljih kupaca ili prodavača. Broj tema u novinskim brošurama gotovo je neograničen. Možete napisati priče u čijem su središtu najnovije tehnologije ili inovacije u vašem području. Možete uvrstiti i poslovne te ekonomske trendove ili pak predviđanja za svoje kupce ili klijente. Zahvaljujući našem osnivaču Gradu Kutini, naša informatička učionica bogatija je za 15 novih računala. Zahvaljujemo im se ovim putem! Isto tako, na inicijativu ravnatelja, Ivice Petrovića, provedeno je kabliranje te svaka učionica ima internetsku vezu. Nekoliko učionica opremljeno je projektorima i projekcijskim platnima. Sve je spremno za uvođenje e-imenika sljedeće školske godine čemu se veseli nastavno osoblje, učenici, kao i njihovi roditelji. 5 Stručno predavanje na temu: DIZAJN I EKOLOGIJA U ponedjeljak 5.10. osmaši su imali priliku poslušati predavanje profesora Mladena Mitra na temu DIZAJN I EKOLOGIJA. Cilj ovog predavanja je da kroz korelaciju raznih nastavnih sadržaja (likovna umjetnost, biologija, povijest) potaknemo razvijanje stvaralačkih potencijala mladih ljudi i njihov aktivan odnos spram okolišu. Ova tema ima za cilj unaprijediti ravnotežu osjetnih intelektualnih sposobnosti kako bi sačuvali što zdraviji okoliš i zakoračili prema estetici etike. 53. revija filmskog stvaralaštva djece Učenice šestog razreda, Matea Rebić, Lea Taus, Petra Domislović i njihov mentor Mladen Bielicki sudjelovali su na 53. Reviji hrvatskog filmskog stvaralaštva djece u Rijeci od 30. rujna do 3. listopada 2015. godine. Sudionici su bili smješteni u Botelu Marina. To je bio poseban doživljaj zbog bure koja je otpuhivala i ljuljala brod/hotel. Reviju su organizirali Hrvatski filmski savez i Art-kino Rijeka. Na Reviji su bila prikazana tri naša igrana filma „Budi mi prijatelj“, „Nešto neobično“ i „Zlo se dobrim vraća“. Revija je bila međunarodnog karaktera. U Art-kino Croatia bilo je prikazano po oko 14 kratkih filmova. Sveukupno su prikazana 92 filma u kategorijama: dokumentarni, igrani, animirani, reportaže i ostale vrste. Turističkim autobusom učenici su posjetili Opatiju i Trsat. Nakon uzbudljivih dana provedenih na Reviji uslijedila je disco večer na brodu Marina. Posljednji dan Revije dodijeljene su nagrade za najbolja dječja filmska ostvarenja i svečano zatvaranje. 6 Budi mi prijatelj Igranim filmom „Budi mi prijatelj“ naša je filmska družina ove godine sudjelovala na Festivalu o pravima djece koji je organizirao UNICEF u suradnji s kinoprikazivačem Blitz Cinestar i Hrvatskim filmskim savezom od 29.09. do 16.10.2015. Ove su se godine matineje za osnovne i srednje škole održale u Zagrebu, Dubrovniku, Splitu, Šibeniku, Zadru, Rijeci, Varaždinu, Slavonskom Brodu, Osijeku, Vukovaru, Koprivnici, Sisku, Poreču, Pazinu, Puli, Čakovcu, Rovinju, Novskoj i Kutini. Festival o pravima djece slavi i promiče dječje stvaralaštvo, ali i stvaralaštvo odraslih autora usmjereno promicanju dječjih prava. Program festivala je inkluzivan, što znači da njegov sadržaj mogu pratiti i osobe s oštećenjima vida i/ili sluha. Uvrštavanjem filma Budi mi prijatelj u program ovako značajnog festivala Filmska družina naše škole ponovno dokazala da je u samom vrhu dječjeg filmskog stvaralaštva. 7 Dječji tjedan - susret djece s gradonačelnikom Svake godine se u okviru Dječjeg tjedna u našem gradu organizira susret djece s gradonačelnikom. Tako je bilo i ove godine. 5.10.2015 pozvani smo u gradsku vijećnicu. Našu školu predstavljale smo moja prijateljica Mihaela Paluh (5.r.) i moja malenkost Monika Kljajić (7.r.). Uz nas na susretu je bilo još mnogo djece iz ostalih škola u gradu te raznih udruga. Gradonačelnik je morao odgovarati na puno različitih pitanja pa tako i na naša. Između ostalog zanimalo nas je kada će se popraviti krov na dijelu škole koji jako prokišnjava i kakve su šanse da dobijemo garderobne ormariće u školi. Također nas muči naša vrlo prometna ulica u kojoj obje živimo (Kutinska lipa). Smatramo da je zbog sigurnosti djece u toj ulici potreban nogostup. Zanimalo nas je što je sa rodilištem o kojem se prije puno pričalo. Ponosne smo bile na to što su gospođe J. Molnar i R. Vlahek, koje su organizirale susret ,pohvalile našu aktivnost. Susret s gradonačelnikom bio je vrlo zanimljiv. Bilo nam je lijepo i zabavno i jedva čekamo slijedeći susret ! Monika Kljajić Dani kruha I ove godine sudjelovali smo na tradicionalnom humanitarnom sajmu povodom Dana kruha i zahvalnosti za plodove zemlje u organizaciji Koordinacijskog odbora Kutina-Grad-prijatelj djece. Tema našeg štanda bila je „KOŠARICA PUNA ZDRAVLJA“. Naše drage mame , bake, pokoji tata ili djed izradili su peciva, kolače kruščiće ali i košarice koje smo napunili tim slasnim proizvodima te od njih napravili košarice zdravlja. Iako kišno vrijeme nije dozvolilo da štand predstavimo u „punom sjaju“, ipak smo uspjeli osvojiti visoko 2. mjesto. Ponosni što smo svoje ukusne proizvode sve rasprodali te zaradili sredstva koja će dijelom biti uplaćena preko Koordinacije za pomoć izbjeglicama, a dijelom za UNICEF-ov projekt „ Škole za Afriku“ u koji smo od ove godine uključeni. M. Cvitković U okviru ovog projekta više od 80 000 djece i mladih u Hrvatskoj, zajedno sa svojim učiteljima, roditeljima i lokalnom zajednicom, pomaže ostvariti prava djece Burkine Faso te izgraditi za njih sigurno mjesto za igru i učenje. Osim humanitarnog karaktera, projekt „Škole za Afriku“ ima i edukativnu svrhu. Zahvaljujemo svim učenicima, djelatnicima, roditeljima i ljudima velikog srca koji su pridonijeli ovoj akciji, te nastavljamo i dalje s aktivnostima kroz koje djeca razvijaju vrijednosti kao što su humanost, tolerancija i međuovisnost, koje su preduvjet njihovog odrastanja u društveno odgovorne mlade ljude. 8 Radionice i natjecanja iz robotike U srijedu, 7.10.2015., u poslijepodnevnom terminu održana je radionica robotike u našoj školi koju su sa školom organizirali ZTK Kutina i ZTK Popovača. Radionici se priključilo dvadesetak učenika škole. Nakon upoznavanja s pojmom robotike, učenici su podijeljeni u timove te su rješavali radne zadatke. Radionicu su vodili Vlado Lendvaj, diplomirani informatičar iz Popovače i naš učitelj tehničke kulture Goran Šporčić. Radionica je uspjela! Cilj radionice je bila promocija robotike u našem gradu, koji je otvoren mladim inovatorima, novim tehnologijama, ali i poticanje učenika i roditelja na važnost ranog usmjerenja djece i mladih ka odabiru i bavljenju tehničkim znanostima, kao zalog za budućnost zdravog i inovativnog društva, konkurentnog gospodarstva. Osim toga učenici su se družili, u jednoj izvanškolskoj aktivnosti u veseloj i pozitivnoj atmosferi, te su naučili i savladali osnove robotike. Dogovoren je i datum za sljedeću radionicu robotike koja se održala u našoj školi 15.10.2015., u četvrtak u vremenu od 15.00 do 16.30 h. Radionica je zamišljena kao druženje djece, roditelja i učitelja te je oduševila sve prisutne. Naši robotičari sudjelovali su ove školske godine na dva robotička natjecanja. U zagrebačkoj OŠ Mate Lovraka, održano je natjecanje najboljih robotičara u osam kategorija po pravilima svjetske robotičke organizacije, Robocup Zagreb Open, a u subotu 20. veljače u Gradskoj dvorani u Ludbregu održalo se 2. kolo Robolige u sklopu RoboCup Junior Ludbreg Open 2016, na kojem su naši robotičari pokazali svoja znanja i potvrdili da pripadaju među najbolje. 9 Početak nove školske godine nestrpljivo su čekali naši članovi projektnog tima koji su odmah po povratku s ljetnih praznika krenuli s jednim velikim i nezaboravnim projektom u suradnji sa Hrvatskim telekomom a kojim su poručili ZAJEDNO SMO JAČI. Višemjesečni rad urodio je plodom te je projekt ROBOFILMAŠI osvojio 70.000,00 kuna za našu školu! Razgovarali smo s nastavnikom Goranom Šporčićem pa pročitajte intervju... 10 Koliko godina radite u našoj školi kao učitelj? Koje predmete predajete? U OŠ Stjepana Kefelje radim od 2005. Godine. Predajem predmete tehničku kulturu i informatiku. Jeli učiteljski posao bio prvi kojim ste se bavili? Već u srednjoj školi znao sam čime se želim baviti u životu. Želio sam raditi sa djecom i biti predavačem, učiteljem. Tehnički fakultet koji sam završio nekako me je usmjerio u privredu i proizvodnju pa sam tako prije škole radio neposredno u proizvodnim procesima dviju najvećih tvornica u Kutini a poslije i menađerskim poslovima u automobilskoj industriji. To se na kraju itekako pokazalo korisnim jer sad djeci mogu prenijeti neposredno iskustvo iz proizvodnje i kako stvari zaista stoje u stvarnome životu. Važnim smatram i iskustvo koje sam kao student preko student servisa stekao radeći u Zagrebačkim firmama. Najvažnije što se tiče posla je odnos prema radu koji se stiče u djetinjstvu. Odrastao sam na selu, u Repušnici, gdje se puno radilo. Čovjek svojim radom oplemenjuje zemlju, a sebe odgaja i tako gradi svoje dostojanstvo. Čovjek je rođen za rad, kao ptica za let. Naše okružje danas je u velikoj krizi što se tiče radnih mjesta. Veliki je broj nezaposlenih. Na nama odraslima odgovornost je da djecu osposobimo i omogućimo im da kroz rad grade svoje dostojanstvo. Volite li svoj posao i zašto? Volim svoj posao i smatram ga jako odgovornim poslom jer osim što obrazujemo mi i odgajamo djecu. Zašto? Zato jer želim u životu raditi ono što volim. To govorim i svojim učenicima, neka krenu u životu za onim što ih ispunjava i čime bi se željeli baviti u životu, što vole. Jer kad netko voli ono što radi i kada to radi sa strašću, onda nema toga što neće učiniti. Adrenalin vam je konstantno povišen, osmijeh vam je konstantno na licu, ništa vam nije teško, ideje frcaju u vašoj glavi i, vjerujte mi, vrata se otvaraju kad god je to potrebno. Na koje ste uspjeh u radu ponosni? Ponosan sam na svaki uspjeh učenika naše škole. Što ste kao mali željeli postati? Moj tata je radio kao profesor povijesti. Brat i ja voljeli smo slušati razne priče iz povijesti, posebno grčku i rimsku mitologiju. Odrastali smo uz kontrolne, imenike, nastavne pripreme, tako da se to rano uvuklo u nas. I brat danas predaje kao profesor na fakultetu. U početku htio sam i ja kao tata predavati povijest. A onda su se 80-tih pojavila računala i ljubav prema tehnici. Tako se to na kraju spojilo u učitelja tehničke kulture i informatike. Koje osobine cijenite kod učenika i kod ljudi općenito? Nesebičnost - Oni ljudi kojima je prirođeno davanje sebe drugima imaju moć da učine da se drugi osjećaju voljenima, cijenjenima i posebnima, dok oni koji se bave samo sobom čine upravo suprotno. Tolerancija - Svi smo mi različiti i svatko od nas ima poneku “manu” ili nešto zbog čega odskače od drugih ljudi. Upravo te različitosti pokreću svijet i čine ga toliko lijepim. Iskrenost – biti otvoren, autentičan i izravan. Osjećajnost - Toliko smo fokusirani na ono što je važno nama samima da zaboravljamo one oko nas. Oni koji su osjećajni imaju razvijeniju empatiju, više cijene ljude i više paze kako svojim djelima i riječima utječu na druge. Integritet Kako ispunjavate slobodno vrijeme? Sport, prijatelji, filmovi, računalo. 11 ŠTO JE Facebook? Facebook je internetska društvena mreža, koju je 2004. godine osnovao Mark Zuckerberg, bivši student Harvarda. U svojim počecima, Facebook je bio namijenjen samo studentima sveučilišta na Harvardu koji su tim putem mogli međusobno komunicirati i razmjenjivati informacije. Kasnije, mnoga druga sveučilišta, srednje škole i velike kompanije diljem svijeta priključile su se mreži. Danas ova mrežna stranica ima više od 1.230,000,000 aktivnih korisnika. Facebook je ujedno najpopularnije mjesto za objavljivanja fotografija, s više od 14 milijuna novih dodanih fotografija dnevno. Valjana e-mail adresa je sve što je potrebno za registraciju i kreiranje profila na Facebooku. Jednom kada se korisnik registrira, može uređivati svoj profil i priključiti se regionalnoj mreži gdje upoznaje ljude iz svoje okoline. ČEMU Facebook SLUŽI? Korisnike se potiče na to da šalju osobne informacije, objavljuju fotografije, da odgovaraju na pitanja o omiljenim filmovima, knjigama, glazbi. Profili s pravim imenom i prezimenom te autentične informacije o pojedinim korisnicima razlozi su popularnosti Facebooka jer svi žele znati što više o svojim poznanicima i prijateljima. Glavna posebnost Facebooka su brojne aplikacije koje se mogu dodati u profile. Tako je moguće imati virtualne kućne ljubimce, slati virtualna pića, darove, zagrljaje i čestitke, igrati videoigre (CityVille ili FarmVille), organizirati dražbe, rješavati psihološke testove i kvizove, dodavati omiljenu glazbu, komunicirati putem privatnih poruka i informirati se o svemu. ODLUČIO SI NAPRAVITI PROFIL NA Facebook STRANICI.... Savjeti u kreiranju vlastitoga identiteta na internetu: Kad se predstavljaš, razmisli o tome što će drugi misliti o tebi. Ne pretjeruj i ne predstavljaj se lažno jer bi si time mogla/ mogao stvoriti probleme. Preuzmi odgovornost za ono kako se predstavljaš. Laganjem o sebi možeš se dovesti u opasnost. Razmisli kako tvoje lažno predstavljanje na internetu utječe na tvoju obitelj, prijatelje i bližnje. 12 Svaka je osoba jedinka za sebe, jedinstvena i neponovljiva. Ne postoje dvije jednake osobe. Svatko od nas voli različite stvari, različitog smo karaktera i različito reagiramo na iste situacije. Promotriš li ljude oko sebe primjetiti ćeš da se međusobno razlikuju: neki su sramažljivi i ne vole se isticati, drugi su otvoreni, komunikativni i glasni, jedni se bave sportom, drugi vole pjesmu i ples, neki vole matematiku a drugi engleski, neki su neozbiljni i lijeni a drugi marljivi i savjesni. Sve naveeno izgrađuje nas kao osobu, odnosno, određuje naš identitet. Identitet je skup činjenica koje čine da se jedna osoba razlikuje od druge (ime, prezime, mjesto stanovanja, osobine, skolonosti, hobiji...). U virtualnom svijetu sami biramo kako ćemo se predstaviti. Tamo nas nitko ne može zapravo vidjeti pa imamo slobodu u stvaranja svojeg identiteta. To nam omogućava da pretjeramo u svojem predstavljanju, a nerijetko i varamo kako bismo se svidjeli drugima. Oni koji nisu prihvaćeni u društvu, pokušavaju lažnim identitetom privući prijatelje. Neki lažu zbog svoje sramežljivosti te na taj način pokušavaju reći ono što ne mogu u stvarnosti. Neki stvaraju lažne identitete iz zabave ili iz znatiželje kako bi vidjeli tuđu reakciju. Nažalost, mnogi se lažno predstavljaju kako bi vrijeđali druge. Pišu ružne komentare i poruke, dijele neprimjerene fotografije ili videosadržaje sakrivajući se iza lažnog profila. Riješi kviz i otkrij jesi li ovisan o Facebooku: 1. Jutro započinjete surfanjem po Facebooku. 2. Propuštate san zbog korištenja Facebooka. 3. Na Facebooku provodite više od sat vremena dnevno. 4. Pronalazite nekadašnje prijatelje/ljubavi na Facebooku. 5. Pomisao na napuštanje Facebooka izaziva u vama nemir. Ukoliko su na na tvrdnje 1, 2 i 6 tvoji odgovori DA, ti si na neki način ovisan o Facebooku. Ukoliko se slažeš sa sve tri tvrdnje, tvoja ovisnost je jaka i možda bi trebao razmisliti o tome. Ostali možete odahnuti. 13 BUNDEVIJADA Već tradicionalno, svake godine, u našoj školi roditelji, učenici i njihovi učitelji u popodnevnim satima druže se izrađujući bundeve u dane zahvalnosti za plodove zemlje. Ove godine bili su izuzetno vrijedni i kreativni a zabavili su se kao i svake. ROĐENDANSKA ČESTITKA GRADU KUTINI Obilježavanje Dana grada Kutine i ove su godine započela djeca i mladi našega grada. U Pučkom otvorenom učilištu 3. studenoga održan je tradicionalan program „Mladi svome gradu“ u organizaciji Društva naša djeca u kojem su sudjelovali i članovi glazbene i dramske radionice naše škole. „Razigrani grad“ tema je ovogodišnjeg programa u kojem su interaktivnom scenskom igrom „Cirkusgrad“ naši „klaunovi“, „hodači po žici“, krotitelji zmija“ i ostali likovi čestitali 759. rođendan gradu. Naravno, uz puno balona, smijeha i zabave! Tekst i fotografije: učiteljica Helena Ćosić 14 Projektni dan 2015. I ove godine u našoj se školi održao projektni dan. Posvetili smo ga našem najvećem prirodnom bogatstvu, a to je Jadransko more. Učenici svih razreda sudjelovali su u brojnim radionicama. Pomoću njih nastojali smo prikazali svu ljepotu i raskoš Jadranskog mora, ali i brojnih kulturnih i prirodnih znamenitosti koje se vežu uz Jadransko more. Projektni dan održavao se u dva dana. U srijedu 25.11. su se odvijale radionice, dok je u petak 27.11. održana prezentacija uradaka na koju je pozvana šira javnost. 15 Kićenje "Drvca mira" Koordinacijski odbor Kutina-grad prijatelj djece i Dječje gradsko vijeće i ove godine su organizirali kićenje „Drvca mira“ ukrasima i porukama koji su nastali u radionicama osnovnih škola s područja grada Kutine, Muzeja Moslavine, Knjižnice i čitaonice, Dječjeg vrtića Kutina, Udruge OSI i Društva Naša djeca. Svečano kićenje održano je 11. prosinca 2015. na gradskom trgu, u kojemu su sudjelovala djeca iz gore navedenih ustanova, te učenici 4.b i 4.c razreda OŠ Stjepana Kefelje koji su prigodnim programom pridonijeli predblagdanskom ugođaju. Cilj je ove tople i humane akcije poslati poruku mira, ljubavi, opraštanja i tolerancije svim ljudima, osobito djeci svijeta, posebice onima čije djetinjstvo nije bezbrižno i sretno zato što žive u teškim uvjetima. Učenici 4.b i 4.c razreda posvetili su svoj nastup djeci Burkine Faso jer su od ove školske godine dio UNICEFova programa „Škole za Afriku“. 16 Božićna priredba i novogodišnji disko u školi U petak 18.12.2015. naša je škola organizirala tulum za sve učenike. Svi učenici koji su došli na tulum tvrde kako su se izvrsno zabavili. Kakav bi to tulum bio bez DJ-a. Učenike je svojom glazbom zabavljao popularni DJ Šporki, tj. učitelj Goran Šporčić. U srijedu, 23. prosinca 2015. godine, u našoj se školi održala Božićna priredba. U priredbi su nastupali učenici od 1. do 8. razreda naše škole. Nastupali su učenici uključeni u ritmiku, zbor, dramsko-recitatorsku skupinu i druge izvannastavne akti vnosti. Gledatelji su bili sretni i sa smiješkom otišli svojim kućama. 17 BLIC VIJESTI Dan ružičastih majica, poznatiji kao Pink Shirt Day, program je prevencije vršnjačkog nasilja, a obilježava se zadnje srijede u mjesecu veljači. Ideja je nastala u znak protesta zbog incidenta koji se dogodio u jednoj školi. Inicijativom školskih kolega je na konstruktivan i inteligentan način riješeno sustavno zlostavljanje dječaka, posvećenog podršci liječenju teško bolesne majke. Ružičaste majice, koje su solidarno s dječakom nosili njegovi školski kolege, postale su prepoznatljiv simbol inicijative, i kasnije, međunarodno prepoznate obljetnice. Naša škola je mjesto nulte tolerancije na nasilje, škola u kojoj učenici i djelatnici rade i uče surađujući i poštujući jedni druge.

So if you are going to school, better be a student who is cool. When you get into the classroom, don’t feel like you are in the bedroom because, brother or sister, you are in the classroom. If you think somebody is better than you, Don’t beat him out, better start learning To be better at school. And if you like a boy or a girl from your school, But some guy likes her, too, Go ask her first and she will date you. Forget about love, start learning for school, Because marks are very important, too. So if you are reading this at school, Then you are very cool. I am really happy with my marks, But are you with yours, too? If you want to answer me call me on Three-two-two. Matej Troha, 8.c Sports, games and hobbies I go home after school. At weekends I play games on my mobile phone and I play football, badminton, tag, hide-and-seek… In my free time I go cycling and I play computer games once a week, because I play games on my mobile. I collect OK magazines. I don’t learn a foreign language outside school. My favourite subjects are P.E., art and IT. I want to play the guitar but I have a lot of activities at school. I’m not crazy about sports. I like swimming. In summer, my family and I go to Daruvar. There is a swimmning pool and a spa. It’s beautiful there. Sometimes I go to the seaside. From time to time I play Monopoly with my two sisters. Every day I go running with Elena, Filip and Luka. I like going to my cousins’ because they have table tennis. There I play tennis with my cousins Barbara and Ana-Marija. Dora Arbanas, 6.c 21 The biography of Frank Sinatra Frank Sinatra was born on 12 th December 1915 in New Jersey. He was an American singer, actor, music producer and director. He was an only child of an Italian immigrant Anthony Martin Sinatra and Natalie Garaventi. Before Sinatra was born, his mum bought pink clothes because she hoped that she would give birth to a girl. So, he wore pink clothes for a few years. When he was 15 years old, he left high school because he wanted to work like a sport’s journalist, but he couldn’t because he was too young. He started working as a truck driver for a newspaper company. When he heard Bill Crosby’s songs, he wanted to become a singer. He never knew the notes but he had a perfect sense for rhythm. He married four times and dated some of the most beautiful women in the world. In 1939, he married his first love Nancy Barbata and they had three kids. After 12 years of marriage they got divorced because he cheated on her with Ava Gardner. In 1966, he married 30-years younger Mia Farrow but they got divorced 16 months later. In 1976, he married Barbara Marx who stayed with him until his death. In the 1960’s rock became popular and his career fell down. After that he decided to be an actor. He got an Oscar for the best actor in movie From Here to Eternity. He also got his star in Hollywood walk of fame. He died on 14th May 1998 in Los Angeles from heart attack. People remember him for his hits such as Fly me to the Moon, Strangers in the night, New York, New York, My way and other. He recorded more than 100 albums and 58 films and that is why I find him a hero of the 20 th century.

On 5 October 2015 we were invited into the Town Hall. Our school was represented by my friend Mihaela Paluh (grade 5) and me. There were lots of other children from other schools in town and different associations. The mayor had to answer lots of various questions, inlcuding ours. We wanted to find out when would our school's leaking roof be fixed and what are the possibilities of getting lockers in school. What else bothers us is a very busy street in which two of us live (Kutinska lipa). We think that a sidewalk is needed in that street because of children's safety. We were also interested in what was happening with the maternity ward in our clinic that everybody was so much talking about before. We were proud when Mrs Molnar and Mrs Vlahek, who organized the meeting, greeted our activity. Meeting the mayor was very interesting. We had a nice time and fun and we can't wait for the next meeting! Monika Kljajić Bread Days This year we have participated in the traditional charity fair for Bread and Thanksgiving for the Fruits of the Country Day, organized by the Coordination Committee of Quince City—children’s friend. The theme of our stand was "A BASKET FULL OF HEALTH ". Our beloved mothers, grandmothers, few dads or grandfathers, made pastries, cakes and breads or baskets which we filled with delicious products, making baskets of health. Despite the wet weather which didn’t allow us to present the stand in its " full glory ", we managed to win a high, second place. We were proud to see our delicious products were sold out and that we earned funds which will partly be paid through the Coordinating Committee for Assistance to refugees , and partly for the UNICEF project " Schools for Africa " in which we have this year involved . M. Cvitković With this project, more than 80,000 children and young people in Croatia, together with their teachers, parents and local communities, help children of Burkina Faso realize their rights and build a safe place to play and learn. Besides, the humanitarian project " Schools for Africa " has an educational purpose. We wish to thank all students, staff, parents and people with big hearts who have contributed to this purpose.

Twenty pupils from our school participated in the workshop. After introducing pupils with robotics, pupils were divided into teams who worked on different tasks. The workshop was led by Vlado Lendvaj, graduate computer scientist from Popovača and our technical education teacher, Goran Šporčić. The workshop was successful! The aim of the workshop was to promote robotics in our town, which is open to young inovators and new technologies, as well as to encourage pupils and their parents to see the importance of directing children towards technical sciences which are the future of the economic growth. Besides, children worked together in a fun and positive atmoshpere and have learnt the basics of robotics. The next robotics workshop was agreed upon, which was held in our school on 15 October 2015. The workshop was ment to be a meeting of children, parents and teachers and it delighted all the present. Our roboticists participated in two robotic competitions this school year. In Zagreb's Primary School Mato Lovrak a competition of the best roboticists in eight categories according to the rules of world robotic organizations, Robocup Zagreb Open, was held, and on February 20, City Sports Hall in Ludbreg hosted RoboCup Junior Ludbreg Open 2016, where our roboticists demonstrated their knowledge and confirmed that they belong among the best. 31 Members of our project team were eagerly waiting for the start the new school year and immediately after returning from summer holidays, they started a great and memorable project in cooperation with Croatian Telecom with which they sent out a message 'TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER'. Months of hard work paid off and the project ROBOFILMAŠI won 70,000.00 kunas for our school! We talked to teacher Goran Šporčić so you can read the interview ... 32 How many years have you worked in our school as a teacher? What subjects do you teach? I have worked in Stjepan Kefelja Primary School since 2005. I teach Technical Education and IT. Was this teaching job your first employment? Already in high school I knew what I wanted to do in life. I wanted to work with children and be a lecturer, a teacher. The university I graduated from somehow directed me into the economy and production and so, before school I worked in the production processes of the two largest factories in Kutina and later had a managerial job in the automotive industry. This eventually turned out very useful because now I can teach children from my experience of production and how things really are in real life. I also consider my working experience I gained as a student, working for Zagreb companies, important. The most important thing as far as the work is concerned is the attitude towards work which is acquired in childhood. I grew up in a village, in Repušnica, where people work a lot. Work gives a man a dignity. A man is born to work like a bird is born to fly. Today there is a crisis when it comes to jobs. A large number of people are unemployed. For us adults the responsibility is to teach children and enable them to overcome obstacles and build their dignity. Do you like your job and why? I love my job and I find it a very responsible job, because in addition to educating and raise our children. Why? Because I want in my life to do what I love. I say, and his disciples, on their way in life for what satisfies them and which would like to deal with in life, they love. Because when someone loves what he does and when he does with passion, then there is nothing I will not do it. Adrenaline you constantly elevated, you smile constantly on his face, nothing you do not mind, the idea of flying all around in your head and, believe me, the door is open whenever the need arises. For you success in the work of proud? I'm proud of every achievement of students of our school. What did you want to become as a little? My dad worked as a history professor. My brother and I we loved hearing stories from history, especially Greek and Roman mythology. We grew up with control, directories, lesson plans, so that the wound got into us. And brother now teaches as a professor at the university. At first I wanted to and I like daddy taught history. Then the 80s emerged computers and love for technology. So it finally merged in teachers technical education and computer science. What qualities you value in students and with people in general? Selflessness - Those people who are inherently self-giving to others have the power to do that others feel loved, valued and special, while those who deal with them just do the opposite. Tolerance - We are all different and each of us has the occasional "flaw" or something that stands out from other people. It is these differences make the world and make it so beautiful. Honesty - being open, authentic and direct. Sentiment - so we are focused on what is important to ourselves that we forget those around us. Those who are sensitive have a greater empathy, higher prices and more people pay attention to their actions and words affect others. Integrity How do you fulfill your free time? Sports, friends, movies, computer. 33 THIS ISSUE’S THEME: WHO AM I ON FACEBOOK? What is Facebook? Facebook is an online social network which was founded in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg, a former Harvard student. In its early stage, Facebook was intended only to students at Harvard University who, in this way, could communicate with each other and exchange information. Later, many other universities , high schools and large companies around the world have joined the network . Today 's web page has more than 1.230,000,000 active users. Facebook is the most popular place for the publication of photos, with more than 14 million new photos added daily. A valid e - mail address is all that is required to register and create a profile on Facebook. When you are registered, you can edit your profile and join the regional network, where you can meet people from your surrounding. What is Facebook used for? Users are encouraged to send this personal information, post photos, to answer questions about favorite movies, books, music. Profiles with real names and authentic information about individual users are the reasons of the popularity of Facebook because everyone wants to know more about their acquaintances and friends. The main peculiarity of Facebook are many applications that can be added to the profile. So, it is possible to have virtual pets, send virtual drinks, gifts, hugs and congratulations, play video games (CityVille or FarmVille) , organize an auction , do psychological tests and quizzes, add your favorite music, communicate through private messages and get information about everything. You decided to create a profile on Facebook page .... Tips to create your own identity on the Internet: 1. When you present yourself, think about what others will think about you. 2. Do not overdo it and do not present yourself as someone else because that could create problems. 3. Take responsibility for how you present yourself. 4. Lying about yourself can be dangerous. 34 Each person is an individual for himself, unique and unrepeatable. There are no two equal persons. Each of us likes different things and is different in character so we react differently to the same situation. Look at the people around you and you will notice that they are different: some are shy and do not like to stand out, others are open, communicative and loud, good at sports, some love songs and dance, some like mathematics and the other English, some are frivolous and lazy and the other hard-working and conscientious. All of it mentioned builds us as a person, that is, determines our identity. Identity is a fact that make one person different from another (name, place of residence, characteristics, propensity, hobbies ...). In the virtual world we choose how we will be present. There, no one can actually see, we have freedom in creating their identity. This allows us to exaggerate in its presentation, and often deceive so we liked others. Those who are not accepted in society, trying a false identity to attract friends. Some lie because of his shyness and thus try to say what you can not in reality. Some create a false identity for fun or out of curiosity to see other people's reactions. Unfortunately, many people falsely claiming to have hurt others. They write bad comments and messages, share inappropriate pictures or video content hiding behind false profiles. Do the quiz and find out if you are a Facebook addict: 1. You start the day by surfing through Facebook. 2. You sleep less because of Facebook. 3. You spend more than one hour a day on Facebook. 4. You look for ex girlfriends/boyfriends and friends on Facebook. 5. The idea of stopping using Facebook upsets you. If your answer to questions 1, 2 i 6 are YES, you are addicted to Facebook in a way. If you agree with all the three statements, your addiction can be strong and you should think about it. The others do not need to worry. 35 PUMPKIN DAYS Almost traditionally, every year, in our school, parents pupils and their teachers meet and carve pumpkins during the thanksgiving days. This year they were extraordinary hard-working and creative and they had fun like they do every year. BIRTHDAY GREETINGS TO THE TOWN OF KUTINA Children and young people were the first to start celebrating Town Kutina Days.

So if you are going to school, better be a student who is cool. When you get into the classroom, don’t feel like you are in the bedroom because, brother or sister, you are in the classroom. If you think somebody is better than you, Don’t beat him out, better start learning To be better at school. And if you like a boy or a girl from your school, But some guy likes her, too, Go ask her first and she will date you. Forget about love, start learning for school, Because marks are very important, too. So if you are reading this at school, Then you are very cool. I am really happy with my marks, But are you with yours, too? If you want to answer me call me on Three-two-two. Matej Troha, 8.c Sports, games and hobbies I go home after school. At weekends I play games on my mobile phone and I play football, badminton, tag, hide-and-seek… In my free time I go cycling and I play computer games once a week, because I play games on my mobile. I collect OK magazines. I don’t learn a foreign language outside school. My favourite subjects are P.E., art and IT. I want to play the guitar but I have a lot of activities at school. I’m not crazy about sports. I like swimming. In summer, my family and I go to Daruvar. There is a swimmning pool and a spa. It’s beautiful there. Sometimes I go to the seaside. From time to time I play Monopoly with my two sisters. Every day I go running with Elena, Filip and Luka. I like going to my cousins’ because they have table tennis. There I play tennis with my cousins Barbara and Ana-Marija. Dora Arbanas, 6.c 43 The biography of Frank Sinatra Frank Sinatra was born on 12 th December 1915 in New Jersey. He was an American singer, actor, music producer and director. He was an only child of an Italian immigrant Anthony Martin Sinatra and Natalie Garaventi. Before Sinatra was born, his mum bought pink clothes because she hoped that she would give birth to a girl. So, he wore pink clothes for a few years. When he was 15 years old, he left high school because he wanted to work like a sport’s journalist, but he couldn’t because he was too young. He started working as a truck driver for a newspaper company. When he heard Bill Crosby’s songs, he wanted to become a singer. He never knew the notes but he had a perfect sense for rhythm. He married four times and dated some of the most beautiful women in the world. In 1939, he married his first love Nancy Barbata and they had three kids. After 12 years of marriage they got divorced because he cheated on her with Ava Gardner. In 1966, he married 30-years younger Mia Farrow but they got divorced 16 months later. In 1976, he married Barbara Marx who stayed with him until his death. In the 1960’s rock became popular and his career fell down. After that he decided to be an actor. He got an Oscar for the best actor in movie From Here to Eternity. He also got his star in Hollywood walk of fame. He died on 14th May 1998 in Los Angeles from heart attack. People remember him for his hits such as Fly me to the Moon, Strangers in the night, New York, New York, My way and other. He recorded more than 100 albums and 58 films and that is why I find him a hero of the 20 th century. Sandra Sladeček, 8.c 44
