Updates from Stanka Krivokapic’s Class in Priboj, Serbia






Posters

We have our meetings at school, so on the first meeting we made posters. Our teacher gave us some photos and we were supposed to describe what was on them. I had the feeling I was in Hungary again. I wrote under each photo what’s on it. I chose the ones with the examples of love: 1. love for family, 2. love between boy and girl, 3. love between friends.

In the first photo I’m standing near the lake Balaton, watching the water and crying because I remembered my family and feeling homesick. In the second Žika and I are talking on the grass and he got a gift for me. On the third Luka and Denis are hugging a wooden doll in front of a shop in Tihany where we were on a trip.

The Web

In Hungary, time which was named “classes” we spent in a totally different way. Our classrooms were changed for blue sky and green grass. On rainy days we were doing “the web” for example and sang songs and that was our sun. One of our teachers, Nada Čičić from Prijepolje showed us how to do this great activity.

The web was incredibly simple and very beautiful. Each person who was part of the web got one end of the rope. He or she held that end and threw the rope to someone else with a warm friendly message for example: I like you, because you are... It’s easy. I loved it and like Mary Lou said, it was the web of our friendship. I can still remember the shape of that web.
