Activities of the school club - basic department

Our school club works at the Elementary School in Ožďany. We have two departments with 41 pupils altogether. The club fee is 50,- Sk per month. The activities of the school club are colourful and always acompanied by good mood, laughter and optimism. They are always adopted to the conditions at school and adequate to the age of children, therefore in the 1st department there are children from the 1st and 2nd forms with Ms. Horváthová. In the 2nd department there are pupils of 3rd and 4th forms with Bc. Markotánová. When choosing the activities we always consider the needs of chidren and their interests. They are diferentiated according to seasons. Amongst the first ones is the welcoming of new first year pupils and also the competition for the nicest pumpkin light or the "Give me a hand" programme that is prepared for the old people in the Retirement Home in Sušany. This year we are going to prepare a programme for the pupils of our school called "Snow flake" - a show of carols and wishes and after that we will have fun at a disco. We will also prepare some refreshment and in a good mood we will all leave for the Christmas holidays.

In 2009 there will be a St. Valentines Day in the club, a carneval, Easter arrangements, Mother´s Day and Children´s Day. There are much more activities that we will do and all of them have a meaning. Therefore children like comming to the School Club.

Activities of the club are aimed mainly at the regeneration of physical a psychical health, preparing for lessons and colourful free time activities We teach children to relax and recreate their energy so that it corresponds with the health and hygienic rules of alternation of work and relax. With this we contribute to eliminating the tiredness of previous school work. We teach them to have fun, to cultivate and dvelop their cultural needs and different interests. One of the important activities is preparation for the lessons and within this help children to "learn to learn".
