Christmas Nativity Play Poland







Last day at school before Christmas break is always the time when the members of Drama Club in our school present their Nativity Play. This year their performance was inspired by “Oscar and the Lady in Pink" by Eric Emmanuel Schmitt.



"My name is Oscar, I'm ten years old...They call me Egghead, I look about seven, I live in hospital because of my cancer and I've never written to you because I don't even know if you exist,' writes Oscar to God. Oscar is ill, and no one, especially not his parents, can tell him what he already knows: that he is dying. Granny Rose, the oldest of the 'ladies in pink' who come to visit the patients, makes friends with Oscar. She suggests that he play a game: to pretend that each of the following twelve days is a decade of his imaginary life. One day equals ten years, and every night Oscar writes a letter to God telling him about his life.



In fact the story is life-affirming and the play made us aware of the fact that what matters in Christmas is LOVE it brings.


Peaceful and joyful Christmas to all of you and all your dear ones!

The Indepence Day was constituted in1937 and was a national holiday in the inter-war Poland. After the World War II the holiday was repudiated. In 1989 the 11th November was re-established as the National Independence Day.

Poland - meeting with a Spanish guest



On 4th November our eTwinning Club invited a guest form Spain. We were glad to host Mikel Gonzalez from San Sebastian. Our guest told us about Spanish history, food and traditions. We also learned about lives of our Spanish peers. It was also very interesting to learn some basic words and phrases. We described to our guest the aim of our project. We are happy that thanks to our Spanish partners we had an idea to invite a guest from our partner's country.

1st November in Poland




On 1st November young people from our school for the fifth time collected money at the cemetery in Bielszowice. Students and teachers gathered donations to the John Paul II Hospice in Ruda Śląska. It's worth mentioning that year by year the generosity of people from Bielszowice is growing, because this time we collected 4007.72 zł. Once again, thanks to this charity event we could realize that "whoever believes in the goodness of man, this creates the goodness in man" (Jean Paul Sartre).
