Welcome to The AES Literary blog where we dwell on the literary side of things... In the American Elementary School literature and writing are explored in many ways: in English and Polish classes, through "Becoming a Writer" creative writing club or in the school library... We invite you to visit our blog and see how we grow literarily, literally!

Sharks are fierce hunters of the sea, but not all of them are man-eating monsters - says Blix in his short article on sharks.
Sharks are fierce hunters of the sea, but not all of them are man-eating monsters.
They are fish, but quiet different from most of the fish that we see in rivers and ponds, or catch for food in the sea.
The biggest difference is in their skeletons. Sharks' skeletons are made of cartilage (gristle) rather than bone. There are many other differences, some which seem to date back a very long time - 300 million years or more.
So sharks are in some ways more "primitive" than bony fish. There are fewer different kinds alive today than there have been in the past, and nowhere near so many kinds as there are of bony fish. (How many different kinds of bony fish? About 20 000 have been discovered so far, and there are probably more undiscovered.)
However, sharks swim, hunt, catch their food, and in many other ways work just as well and efficiently as bony fish.
They are not that dangerous as people try to make believe us. Sometimes they attack people, but that is because they need to hunt or even because they are scared
Look at the following video, and you will believe it!

Short reports from the 6th of December flea market
"I think flea market is a great idea for Mikołajki!"
On 6th of November, in our schooll there was a flea market.On this flea market we could buy nice toys and some accessorize. One class was even selling chocolate cake, it was delicious. I think everybody liked teh flea market! Everybody found something for themselves, for example, I bought a hand-made penguin made by Ania from my class (she can sew very well), and toys for my sister. I thing flea market is a great idea for Mikołajki!

"I think everybody enjoyed the flea market!"
On 6th of December 2013, we had a flea market at our school. Everyone
brought their old toys, games, etc. We labeled them. The maximum price was
10 zł. Everyone was very excited and bought a lot of things. The earned
money will go for Ciapkowo. I think everybody enjoyed the flea market.

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.
