Julia Gebhardt invites to the Charity Auction

We are from Journalism Club and we would like to write about the Charity Auction event because it will be a nice event. It will take place at 4pm to 6pm, on the 11th of December. This event will take place in our school. It will happen because we are buying things and then we are giving this money to a girl with multiple sclerosis, for school no.13 for children who don't have money to buy lunches, and for English club and drama club. It is important for AES, because the children, this girl and clubs don't have money for some things, so we are giving some money to them.

THE AES CHARITY AUCTION IS COMING UP SOON

The Charity Auction, that will take place in school on Wednesday, 11th of December, is coming up soon. The money collected during that day will be donated for English and drama classes for handicaped individuals; Patrycja, a friend of the school who suffers from multiple sclerosis; and lunches for underprivileged students from nearby school no.13. 

Mrs. Sylwia Ptach, the Charity Auction organizer, visited our Journalism Club on Tuesday to tell us more about the Auction itself, as well as the current lead-up period when lots of things need to be organized. She asked our team of journalists to write a report from the Charity Auction.

The Auction will not only be attractive for adults but should also be interesting for students and small children who can visit different playrooms open during the Auction. There will also be coffee, tea and homemade cakes. Everyone is invited. We hope to collect as much money as possible and remain a generous, helpful institution.

Interview with Mr. John!

Last week in Journalism Club we interviewed Mr. John Sudar. The interview took place on the first floor in the American Elementary School and went very well. Mr. John and Julia Konefał, who interviewed him, sat in front of the window with a beautiful, wide view. The interview is ready for you to read on our blog: just go to AES Special Interests (to your right) and click AES Interviews.

Below a fragment from the interview: 

"Julia Konefał: Why do you wear long hair and beard?

Mr. John Sudar: Huh! That's a good question. I guess it just suits me. I never really thought about it actually. Good question!

J.K.:How do you make everybody in the school like you?

J.S.: Well! I'm not sure everybody in the school likes me! But I'll speak generally: I think people generally respond to positive people. You know... there are people who walk around, with a cloud above their heads, they always look at the bad side of things, and I think that such people are not very popular. I think that people that see the good side of things, have the optimistic attidute, are the ones who are popular, so like I say: I'm not sure everyone in the school likes me, but i guess I am popular, because I'm a positive person.

J.K. Yes you are very popular!

J.S. Thank you."

Celebrating Poland's Independence Day

On Tuesday, 12th of November, we celebrated INDEPENDENCE DAY. Class 5A prepared a show and both 3rd and 4th grades were singing songs. The show was about how Poland became independent because it wasn't always so. I think that it was a great idea that Mrs. Kasia came on because even Mrs. Jola said that it was awesome!

Our first interview!

On the 5th of November 2013, Mrs. Jola (the school director) visited our Journalism Club. Natalia Ziemiaszewska from grade 4B was the interviewer and asked Mrs. Jola eight interesting questions that were designed by all of the Journalism Club members. Mrs. Jola answered the questions really keenly. At the end of the interview, other members of the Journalism Club asked three extra questions. We think you will enjoy our interview!

Students report from the AES Halloween 2013

Photo by Mateusz Gasiński

On October 31st our school celebrated Halloween. As always, the 6th grade prepared the Haunted House. Inside the haunted house we had to walk in pairs, guided by a scary wolf. There were masks, webs, people grabbing our legs and other amazing and scary things! Luckily, no one cried or exited too quickly! It was scary ;)

- Emilia Paprocka 

Like every year, grade 6th prepared the Haunted House. It was interactive. There we could create a Frankenstein and drink scary juice but that wasn't all... We saw scary creatures asking for help. There was much more! I really enjoyed it and I think other students too.

Once a year there is Halloween in our school. Everybody is putting on costumes and decorating classes. This year class 4A and 4B did a Spider Cave. Grades from 0 to 3 were entering it. Most of 0 graders were scared of this cave. In the cave there were many leaves, webs and spiders. We were decorating our class with 4B. I think it is the most scary day in the school.

           - Julia Gebhardt

Our school is having a party on Halloween. This year, 4th graders made the Spider Cave. 0, 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders went into the Spider Cave. 0, 1st and 2nd grade students were very scared. Inside the Spider Cave were of course many spiders and spider webs. On the floor we put leaves so that children step on them and hear rustling under their feet. 4th graders won a diploma for the Spider Cave. It was a nice idea to do the Spider Cave.

Original hats can be found in Sopot

That hat was designed by my grandmother's friend Ewa Mróz. Her shop is in Sopot on 3 Maja street. There are a lot of such beautiful hats. That photo was taken in my room. I never wear this hat because it is too delicate. I think it is lovely!
