NEW GYM CONSTRUCTION PROJECT BEGINS AT „ĐURO ESTER“ PRIMARY SCHOOL
After 60 years of waiting the school finally gets a gym
„Đuro Ester“ Primary School, also known as the „school without a gym“, becomes the school with the most modern gym in the Town of Koprivnica
On 12 October 2020 the construction of the new gym began on the outdoor playground behind "Đuro Ester" Primary School in Koprivnica. The project of the new gym is financed by the Town of Koprivnica and the construction is managed by Radnik d.d., a company from Križevci.
We asked the school headteacher Mrs Sanja Prelogović what the future gym will look like and whether it will be possible to use a part of the existing playground for outdoor activities after the construction. The gym will take up 1420 square meters. Next to the gym there will be an outdoor basketball court. The gym will have a modern arched shape and it will be among the first gyms in Croatia constructed of aluzinc. Traditional masonry construction will be used for locker rooms and ancillary area. Inside there will be a basketball and handball court as well as a movable grandstand with 168 seats. –Mrs Prelogović said.
Since 1959, a year when „Đuro Ester“ Primary school was founded, until today the school has been operating without a gym. Physical education classes, school plays, concerts and similar activities have been taking place in a bigger classroom that is 10 x 10 m in size. Despite lack of space, we have been achieving outstanding results in sports competitions such as table tennis, handball and badminton. For several consecutive years the students of our school won the second and the third places in the state badminton competition. Most of the PE classes take place on the outdoor playground behind the school – Mrs Vesna Hižman-Perošić, a PE teacher, pointed out.
Since there are 740 students who attend our school in two shifts, cold and rainy days are a big problem as the students can't exercise outside and the organisation of classes, workshops, lectures and cultural events becomes quite complicated. Students often exercise in their classrooms or in the hallway then. COVID-19 epidemic further complicates the organisation of classes and limits us in providing enough space for students to exercise and move as they are not allowed to spend time in the hallway or exercise in the classrooms while the existing „gym“ is too small to maintain the prescribed distance between the students.
Mrs Prelogović says that the construction of the new gym should be completed by June 2021 and she is very happy that, with this investment, the Town of Koprivnica has made it possible to improve working conditions and the quality of education in „Đuro Ester“ primary school. It took 60 years to make it possible for our students to have proper PE classes, more space for exercise, especially in winter, as well as space for matches and sports competitions – the headteacher pointed out.
„Đuro Ester“ primary school will no longer be the only school in the Town of Koprivnica without a gym. With the new gym the town will get another space for the organisation of sports events. The gym will also be used by associations and sports clubs that promote healthy lifestyle and spread the name of Koprivnica in various regional and state meetings.

It is a very widespread phenomenon in the United States, which is also spreading in Europe.
It offers young people increasingly daring challenges of courage that culminate in acts of self-harm.

Young girl from Cicevac at the Youth Council of the Republic of Serbia
Anica Stamenković, a young activist from Ćićevac, a youth worker and politician, became one of the youth representatives of the Youth Council of the Government of the Republic of Serbia. In a competition called by the Roof Organization of Youth of Serbia, Anica managed to be one of fifteen selected young people from all over the Republic of Serbia.
Roof Organization of Youth of Serbia (KOMS) represents an alliance of 109 youth and youth associations and represents the highest independent representative body of young people in Serbia. KOMS advocates improving the position of youth.
Anica has found herself in youth politics and public advocacy: through the “Decision” process, along with two other local co-ordinators, she has launched an initiative to establish a local Youth Council, she is a fourth-generation student of the Youth Policy Academy, a participant in the upcoming dialogue with the prime minister.
He believes that the state, but also all subjects of youth policy, needs to co-operate, to make Serbia a more favourable place for youth. As an advisory body of the Government, the Council ensures that the voice of the youth is heard and respected, so that young people participate in the drafting, implementation and monitoring of the realisation of public policies, on an equal basis, on the same terms and with equal decision-making power as representatives of institutions.
“I would like to change the position of youth in our state. I don’t think we’re appreciated enough as young people and we’re not taken seriously. I’d like to help make the voice of the young heard, as well as their desires and needs. I am very happy to be a representative of youth in the Youth Council of the Government of the Republic of Serbia. It is a great honor for KOMS to recognize me as an active young person and give me an opportunity like this. I will try to improve myself and my skills through this mandate, but also to improve youth policy and our status in the state along with other hardworking and active young representatives,” Anica said. /By Sanja Ivanović/

Kajkavian Ikavians
We’re our own people is the name of the 2018 documentary by OŠ Marija Jurić Zagorka film group ZAG.
The documentary was filmed in Šenkovec, a village some 30 km away from Zagreb. Although I personally wasn’t involved in the making of the film because I only joined ZAG a year later, I watched it with great interest.
We learnt about regiolects in Croatian class. Regiolects are dialects of a specific place or region. For homework we had to watch a film and recognize what dialect the protagonists used. Inhabitants of Šenkovci, Brdovec, Laduč, Ključ and other villages by the river Sutla, near the slovene border speak in the kajkavian dialect with an ikavian pronunciation. A lot of people don’t know kajkavian dialect with an ikavian pronunciation exists because people who use the kajkavian dialect usually speak in ekavian pronunciation.
In the beginning of the film, the president of the Ivan Perkovac Association says:
Nigdi ni takvoga kaja
h jem je i
dite, cvit, popivka, vrime.
Nigdo ne povi – samo mi!
dialect
People who use the kajkavian dialect with an ikavian pronunciation are originally ikavians from regions surrounding the river Una who settled the Sutla banks running from Ottoman Turks in the 15th century. During the centuries, their ikavian pronunciation took over characteristics of the kajkavian dialect. Kajkavian Ikavians along with the Institute of Croatian Language and Linguistics published the Dictionary of Kajkavian Ikavian pronunciation of the lower Sutla regions with about 12 thousand words.
I like how Kajkavian Ikavians cherish their specific way of speaking and carry it over to younger generations - the children who recite in their regiolect in the film.

Što o prikrivenom reklamiranju u sadržajima influencera govori izjava Andree Fabrić.docx
What does Andrea Fabrić's statement say about covert advertising in influencers' content.docx
What does Andrea Fabrić's statement say about covert advertising in influencers' content?
We have already written about how there are a lot of covert advertisements among influencer’s posts, and to re-address this topic, we were cited by an article published recently on the portal RTL.HR.
The article says that the famous Croatian influencer Andrea Fabrić boasted on TikTok that she earned over 18,000 HRK in November, and another 51,000 HRK should arrive after remuneration. In this announcement, she also gave a clarification and wrote that an influencer with 10,000 followers can charge 100 EUR for a post about a product, and about 150 EUR for a post and a story. She also cited data for post prices for influencers with a larger number of followers, and for the purposes of this text, we will single out only information for influencers with 150 to 200 thousand followers. They, Fabric argues, can ask for 6,000 to 8,000 HRK per publication.
It should be noted that these prices apply to Croatia, and in the world, they are even higher. An example of this is a statement by Jeffree Star, which we mentioned in the article entitled "Advertisers who covertly advertise in influencer’s content, use the naivete of children".
That all those who need advertising for a product or service are increasingly aware of the impact of advertising through influencers and that they are increasingly using it is also evident from articles like this one on the blog RENTLIO. In their article, they give advice on what kind of influencers to choose to propagate travel and services in tourism. There are also mentions of "small guidelines" to be given to influencers. This can only mean that the influencers' opinion of a product, mentioned in the post, can be in line with the wishes of whoever orders the advertisement. This article, published in April 2020, also states that by the end of 2022 the value of this type of marketing, i.e. through social media influencers, will be as much as $15 billion, and by the end of 2020 it'll be worth $6 billion.
Keep in mind this information mentioned above when you read the posts of your favorite influencers and think carefully about the goal of their posts by drawing attention to a product and directing your consumer habits. To encourage you, even more, to think about the problem of covert advertising in influencer content, we also recommend you read the text of the Deutsche Welle portal titled "INFLUENCERS" – SOCIAL NETWORK PROSTITUTES?”.

The Church in Gojna Gora
We have visited today the Church of Saint Demetrius of Thessalonica in Gojna Gora. We have learnt many interesting information from the local people.
Petar Marić, who was born and grew up in Gojna Gora, and now he is living and working in Čačak, thought that he could build the church in his birth place. He accomplished the idea. The municipality of Gornji Milanovac gave the part of land for the building of the Church, next to the school ''Ivo Andrić'' in the centre of the place. The building of the Church began in the middle of May, in 2017 and the construction was finished by the end of the year. It was built according to the project of Dr Miloš Radovanović from Čačak. The Church is the copy of the Monastery of Studenica . The iconostasis and frescoes were drawn inside.
The local people say that now it is much easier, because they don’t have to go anymore for 7 km to the Church in the nearest place. The Church is still being built.

The modern factory of water on the mountainsides of Maljen
Radojko Milinković from the place Bogdanica at the bottom of Maljen ,while digging a well,found that his property is located on the real natural resource.
He found on his property the healing water and all the necessary examinations were done at the University of Medicine in Belgrade, and they confirmed the amazing quality of this water.
This man from Serbia, who acquired his capital by working abroad, decided to invest the money in Serbia and help in that way his birthplace and that deserted villages come to life again and the people get a job.
The factory of water was built on the sea level of 800 metres on the area of 43 hectares and is called Crystal Field . It was opened in 2014,and the workers from China were engaged in the material for its construction.
There are nine workers in the factory at the moment , and the plan is that about 30 local people get the job.

THE BEAUTY OF MATHEMATICS.docx
THE BEAUTY OF MATHEMATICS
"God created natural numbers. The rest is man's work. "
(Leopold Kronecker, German mathematician)
Mathematics, as you have already learned from your own experience, was created due to man's need to have control over the objects around him.
Our life is based on communication and interpersonal relationships, which we could more easily define in one word: friendship. Have you ever thought that numbers can be friends too?
Well, Pythagoras is said to have discovered the first pair of friendly numbers: 220 and 284.
But what does friendship mean in mathematics? Friendly numbers are those numbers that have the property that each is equal to the sum of the divisors of the other.
Let's see, was Pythagoras right?
The divisors of the number 220 are: 1,2,4,5,10,11,20,22,44,55,110, and of the number 284 are1,2,4,71,142. By summing the divisors of each number, we obtain:
1+2+4+71+142=220 şi 1+2+4+5+10+11+20+22+44+55+110=284.
Can you find such numbers too?
We all strive for perfection and it is quite difficult to achieve it, but the numbers have gone before us, because there are perfect numbers.
What are they? I think you're wondering.
There is a perfect number for everyone, right? But does it have anything to do with what perfect numbers mean in math? See...
In mathematics, the perfect number is the number that can be written as the sum of its divisors without themselves, for example: the divisors of the number 6 are: 1, 2, 3 and 6. Adding 1 + 2 + 3 we get 6, which means that 6 is a perfect.
We all like magic. Many times we would like to be invisible or simply do something magical.
Example:
1. “Think of any number you want. Then, add 4 to the chosen number. Multiply the result by 2. Subtract 6 from the new result, then divide the resulting number by 2. At the end, subtract from the result the number you initially thought of. You got 1. ”
PHENOMENAL! MAGIC!
2. “Think of a number. Add this number by 3, multiply the result by 7, subtract the number you thought of, subtract 9 and divide the remainder by 6. How much did you get? ” "I got 10." "It means you thought about number 8."
"Impossible! Let's try again! ”
Repeat the game one more time, then again and again, 10 times in a row, each time with a different number and each time, you will guess your friend's number. Magic or arithmetic trick? Of course it's a math trick!
The solution: If a is the number your friend is thinking of, then
[(a + 3) x7-a-9]: 6 = a + 2
and that, therefore, you only have to subtract 2 from the result obtained by your friend, in order to find out the number he thought of.
Do you want me to teach you a trick so you can see the "beauty of math"?
We all believe at some point that mathematics is the hardest object because there are many calculations, many things to prove and all kinds of theorems that we have to apply in geometry problems.
Why do children find math so difficult?
I think the first reason is the children's lack of courage to ask questions to the teacher when they do not understand the exercises or lessons taught.
The second reason is that when students return from school, they do not learn enough the lessons taught in class or do not do it at all, the reason being the fact that they did not understand the lesson in class, and there is no point in wasting time reading it. the home.
The third reason I think is quite common among students, because it happened to me, that is the loss of confidence in their own strength when they notice that after a lot of work the result of the exercise is incorrect.
In my opinion, the best solution is to discover the courage to address teachers when we have a problem with the lesson, because I have noticed that all teachers are very happy when they see that we are trying to understand and that we want to we learn. It is not a shame to ask questions, it is a shame not to do our best and not to respect the work done by our teachers.

Erasmus Plus project at the Primary School Nr. 6 Suceava
Gymnasium School Nr. 6 from Suceava won the financing of a project through European funds. It is about a KA1 project - training mobility for teachers, with a budget of 20,440 Euros, entitled "A European school, a school for everyone!". Funding is provided by the Erasmus + program of the European Union, promoted by the National Agency for Community Programs in the Field of Vocational Education and Training, and is the first project of this type approved at the Gymnasium School Nr. 6 from Suceava. The project will run for a period of 12 months, starting with September 2, 2019.
The project "A European school, a school for everyone!" it is driven by the desire to improve the quality of education in the educational institution in order to create an inclusive school.
This project was developed to train teachers in facilitating access and managing inclusive environments, using the best, differentiated, non-formal strategies to stimulate students' learning motivation.
In the 2019-2020 school year, 8 teachers (4 teachers for primary education and 4 teachers for secondary education) will be trained through training courses: "Designing Inclusive Educational Environments - ERASMUS ^ SE.1.DEIE" (Europass Teacher Academy , Florence, Italy) and “Vitamin C boosts education! - coaching, the non-formal education method to bring out the best from your learners” (Dominou Association, Larnaca, Cyprus).
The participants in the mobilities will be chosen from among the teachers who work in the Gymnasium School Nr. 6 from Suceava, who works with students from primary and secondary school, on different school subjects.
Thus, following the participation in the two training courses, the teachers will be able to:
- identify barriers to participation and learning in school and resources to support students with learning difficulties;
- develop development priorities and planning interventions to support diversity;
- to develop training activities, using techniques and tools through experimental teaching for their own teaching context, in order to improve students' results;
- to apply coaching as a method in different school situations to improve students' motivation and results;
- improve their ability to design and manage international partnership projects.
This project will have a special impact on the image of the school in the community, leading to the creation of collaboration networks with other schools in the area, in the country and in Europe.
The project will provide a European dimension to the school through the knowledge, skills and aptitudes needed to integrate the target group into society, so that the diversity and specificity of the education system in the other countries participating in the training become a source of mutual stimulation.
The realization of a quality implementation of the project will be pursued, thus highlighting the European perspectives of the Gymnasium School Nr. 6 Suceava.
