PORG Gymnázium a Základní škola

After three and a half months of home schooling, the primary school is open and full of life again!

The children arrived bright and early on Monday and started with a test. No need to be nervous though, this test just involved each pupil sticking a cotton bud up their noses and then putting it in their COVID test kit.

Once we made sure everyone had tested negative, we got straight back to learning. There has been far too much theory work since Christmas, so everyone has had a week of as much practical work as possible.

We are still not able to mix the whole school together, we have to go to lunch at separate times and we all have to self-test twice a week but we are back and this time we mean to stay!

With the school year drawing to a close, it's time to celebrate all that we have achieved together. Of course, it's also a good time to celebrate the fact that we are almost ready to break up for the summer holidays!

Parents and family are invited to join the party, with food and drinks as well performances by the children to entertain us.

Some of our Year 4 pupils have been taking part in a project to bring a little light into the lives of residents quarantined in British retirement homes.

Many of these people have been cut off from visits by loved ones for over a year now and the project was designed to let them know they are not alone. They are all elderly and may no longer have any regular contact with their grand-children.

The charity aims to bring greetings cards from children in British Overseas Schools across the world to isolated seniors. Although the cards will be distributed anonymously, the children know that their efforts will let others know that someone is thinking of them. 

For the children in our school, it is a small act which develops empathy for others. For the adults they will become, empathy for others can move mountains.
