School Ball in Dub - opening dance of 9th graders.

It has become a tradition in Dub nad Moravou school - the last Friday in January is always a time for a school ball. Parents are in charge of its organizing and students of the highest grade prepare an opening dance. This year they danced waltz, jive and a modern Latin - American dance in rows.At the end each of students gave a nice rose to their form teacher who has been teaching them dancing since September 2009. Don´t they look great? Real young ladies and gentlemen...Let´s hope they will always be as happy as that evening.
In the end of the photo presentation you can see a local parson, Mr. Jan Kornek, who came to see our students. He was wearing a local traditional costume.

Why is the Big Garden Birdwatch in winter? It's cold!

That's precisely why we do it in January. The cold weather brings birds into our gardens, looking for food and shelter, so it's pretty much the best time of the year for watching garden birds.

EMINESCU - the Romanian national poet














15th January 2010

On January 15th students and teachers all over Romania pay homage to our greatest poet, our national poet, Mihai Eminescu (1850-1889). In our country there is hardly anyone who cannot recite at least a few lines of Eminescu’s poems. The musicality of his poetry, the themes he approached (love, nature, eternity, etc) attract readers of all age and education categories.During an activity organized on this occasion, the students in class V-A recited their favourite poems but they also listened to poets such as Adrian Păunescu reciting some of them. Due to their musicality, a large number of these poems are sung in a way that makes anyone shiver with delight. Together with their teachers, the children also listened to a famous Romanian choir, Madrigal, performing Eve on the Hill/ Seara pe deal şi Drowsy Birds/ Somnoroase păsărele.



SOMNOROASE PASARELE-DROWSY BIRDS
Somnoroase pasarele
Pe la cuiburi se aduna,
Se ascund in ramurele -
Noapte buna!

Doar izvoarele suspina,
Pe cind codrul negru tace;
Dorm si florile-n gradina -
Dormi in pace!

Trece lebada pe ape
Intre trestii sa se culce -
Fie-ti ingerii aproape,
Somnul dulce!


Peste-a noptii feerie
Se ridica mindra luna,
Totu-i vis si armonie -
Noapte buna!


Drowsy birds at even gliding,
Round about their nests alight,
In among the branches hiding...
Dear, good night!

Silence through the forest creeping,
Lullaby the river sighs;
In the garden flowers sleeping...
Shut your eyes !

Glides the swan among the rushes
To its rest where moon light gleams,
And the angels whisper hushes...
Peaceful dreams!

O’er the sky stars without number,
On the earth a silver light;
All is harmony and slumber...
Dear, good night !
