Comenius Visit

From the 3rd to the 6th October we had a visit from 17 teachers from Ireland, Iceland, Finland and Norway. As part of the Comenius Project ´We are Family`they were guests at our school.
The children gave a presentation, in English, about the school . They sang songs in the different languages of the visitors and had lots of questions to ask the visiting teachers!
The teachers also had a lot to find out from each other. Everyone enjoyed the visit and bothe the children and the school made a wonderful impression.

First Day of School

The first day of school has come round again!  On the fifth of September 74 new children started school at Gete. After a colourful reception in front of the Gym the new first years and their families were welcomed with a lively programme full of variety. The musical contribution was provided by the Parents´ Orchestra and the third year choir led by Ms van der Bent. 4a with their teacher Ms Krivec presented the theatre piece ´All Little Mice Must Learn to Read`.
Then the tension mounted! 
The first years were called up on to the stage by their new class teachers who led them to their new classrooms and their first school hour.
The waiting parents, friends and family were provided with coffee and cake by the Parents´ Club . A big thankyou to everyone who helped out.
