On 16th November our team from year 6 took part in a study skills competition that was held in Jõhvi Basic School. This year our students did not get an award-winning place, but never the less, it was a positive and challenging experience for our participants, which they enjoyed very much. The competition consisted of different workshops or rooms, namely maths, natural science, computer skills. There was also a room with various tasks, which proved to be the most interesting one; in there the students could show their skills in knitting, folding as well as in English.

From September 23 - 29 it was a national sports week and naturally, our school offered a number of sporty activities for our students as well as for teachers. Monday was orienteering day.  Tuesday was for throwing axes and shooting arrows towards the bullseye. On Wednesday there was a relay competition in Toila where many of our students competed. Throughout the week teachers and students alike were urged to move more and walk around the school house. The week ended with a small volleyball tournament between students, teachers and parents.

On the 26th and 27th of September we celebrated the European cultures and languages by singing the traditional song  (Are you sleeping) Brother John. In Estonian the song can be translated as Blacksmith boys whereas in French it is Frère Jacques, in Finnish Jaakko kulta and so on. Every class introduced one European language and sang the well known song in their new language.

On the international music day there was a school concert by young musicians from a renown Estonian accordion band named Lõõtsavägilased.
