As part of the “Big Brother, Big Sister” activity, Savremena Primary School organised a lovely gathering dedicated to reading and autumn.

A fourth-grade student visited her younger sister’s classroom and read texts about autumn to her first-grade classmates. The children had the opportunity to enjoy stories about the season while spending part of their school day with an older student.

What made this visit special was the simple fact that an older sister came to her younger sister’s classroom to share a few autumn stories with her classmates.

Instead of their usual classroom reading activity, the first graders listened to someone who, just a few years ago, had been sitting in a first-grade classroom herself.

Activities like these bring warmth to everyday school life and show how even the simplest moments can become special when students share them with one another.

Autumn was the main theme of this gathering, and the texts read by the older student gave the first graders the opportunity to enjoy stories about the season.

The “Big Brother, Big Sister” activity gives older students the chance to visit younger children and spend time with them through shared activities.

For first graders, it is always exciting when an older student visits their classroom, especially when that student is the brother or sister of one of their classmates.

Beyond enjoying the stories, these gatherings encourage friendship, attentive listening and a love of reading. At the same time, older students have the opportunity to show kindness towards younger children and share part of their school day with them.

At Savremena Primary School, we value activities like these because they help create lovely memories and strengthen connections between students of different ages.

This gathering showed that making a school day special does not always require a big event. Sometimes, all it takes is an older sister visiting her younger sibling’s classroom, bringing a few lovely texts and taking the time to read them aloud.

These are exactly the kinds of moments we love to encourage at Savremena, because school is not only a place where children gain knowledge but also a place where they connect, build friendships and learn the importance of caring for others.

The “Big Brother, Big Sister” activity once again provided a lovely opportunity to bring younger and older students together, this time through autumn stories.

We look forward to more gatherings and new opportunities for our students to create wonderful school memories together.
