A school day at Savremena takes place before and after lessons and involves entertaining and educational school activities.

The FAST (Fun and Study Time) programme is tailored to the students’ age and follows a daily timetable. The students can use the running track and the gym, and play football, basketball, volleyball and handball during their extracurricular activities. After class, they relax by playing board games, drawing, watching films and much more.

Apart from the mandatory lessons, the students’ spare time is also highly important. Savremena wants the students to come to school happy and to grow into introspective, enterprising and conscientious people full of self-confidence, dynamic and able to adapt to changes in the 21st century.

This is why we have special activities called Fun and Study Time, where the students work in small groups in order to do their homework, revise, play sports, get to know their school friends better, and learn many new things through play.

Autumn served as an inspiration for the little ones to have great fun. Painting and colouring autumn trees, portraits combined with fallen leaves, creative colouring books, showing their unique perception of autumn – this is what an afternoon workshop looked like.

The children’s creativity was encouraged through activities such as art workshops, class performances, competitions, quizzes, board arranging, board games, listening to children’s music, and many other interesting games.

Through interesting creative studio tasks, the students can learn, for example, how to present an event using collage paper. They often make 3D dinosaurs out of paper and they also know collage and origami techniques. Many tend to present some of the skills or creations at home.

MENTAL GYMNASTICS AND INDIVIDUAL ACTIVITIES

FAST activities can also be puzzles, brain teasers, word association, pantomime, reading books, memory games, karaoke, dancing, mini-cinema, experiments, and many more interesting games for Savremena’s primary school students. During this period, the children often relax playing social games in which they come up with creative solutions which develop their cognitive and mental abilities.

During Fun and Study Time activities, they do their homework alone or with help from the teachers. All the assignments the students do independently are thoroughly checked, so that parents don’t have to worry about whether the children have completed all their obligations. This means a lot to the parents, as it allows the children to have more spare time at home that is much easier to organise.

HEALTHY SNACKS, RECREATIONAL AND SPORTS ACTIVITIES

In addition to breakfast and lunch, which Savremena’s students have during the day, the students also enjoy healthy snacks during Fun and Study activities. These mainly include fruit, wholegrain biscuits, oatmeal and other similar healthy meals. Once your child has adopted the habit of having balanced and properly timed meals, he/she will maintain the awareness about proper nutrition later on.

The students’ favourite recreational and sports activities are tag, dodgeball, stand up/sit down, coordination exercises with a ball, tug of war, skipping rope, sack racing, and dribbling techniques. Through a variety of games, which can also be held on the sports field, our little athletes practice running techniques and learn the basics of various sports as well as standard dance moves.
