Slovakia: Our bookmarks
These bookmarks are the result of the work of pupils 1.B and their parents. Parents and their children "changed" words from our common dictionary to bookmarks. Each pupil chose one word, wrote it on a bookmark and artistically formed with his parents. Thank you all parents for they help!

The Ending
Girls, so busy with books, didn't notice that outside there was getting brighter. Exciting reading was interrupted by the book gnome, who said:
- Soon there will be morning, so I have to say goodbye to you two. In the library there will be readers, who will take place of gnomes and ghosts. I'm curious if you liked meetings with book characters and our journeys through their worlds?
Girls shouted together:
- It was fantastic! We will never forget those adventures.
- And you, Kate, what do you think about reading now?
- I didn't know that reading is fun, and books hide such great adventures. (See why)
As soon as the librarian comes, I will take "Anne of Green Gables", "Satan from the 7th grade", "Maťko and Kubko" and "Danka and Janka".
- And I'm taking - added Julie - "Series of Unfortunate Events", "The Legend of Spud Murphy", "I had a dog and a cat", "Budkáčik and Dubkáčik" and "Ferda Mravenec".
- So, you won't be bored in next few days I suppose. I will dissapear in a moment, but firstly I will tell you one more secret. I will leave you with a magical bookmark. If you ever had a wish to get back to the world of books, take it in your hands and think about me. Do you want to know, what will happen next?
- Yes, sure! - answered Kate.
- Let's try, then.
As they all touched the magical bookmark, they moved to a strange hut full of books. Some of them were really old and covered with dust, some were brand new with shiny covers.
- That is the magic house on a tree. Sometimes children like you come by - they are siblings: Jack and Annie. When they discovered this place they loved the story of dinosaurs. On one of the pictures Jack saw a pteranodon during a flight. He touched the picture with his finger and said "I wish I could see him flying". As he did that, the house trembled, spinned, and the children moved to the era of dinosaurs. If you want to know the rest of their adventures, read the series of books called „Magic Tree House” - Mary Pope Osborne.
-Great, I wish I could do the same.
- You will be able to travel, but under one condition: you have to do it together and only once. Later the bookmark will become just a piece of paper.
Girls rushed to check all the books and didn't even notice as the gnome snapped his fingers quietly and dissapeared. On the place where he was standing on, little flickering stars appeared. There were more and more of them. Shortly the whole house was shining with colourful lights. Stunned with the beauty and very exhausted, girls sat on a couch and fell asleep. In the morning they woke up in their beds and, amazed, on their night tables found lists of books to take from the library.
Before lessons they visited the library to take the books and as soon as they got there, the librarian gave Kate the bookmark saying, that she had found it in a book which yesterday the girl came to the library with.
What do you think, what will the girls do?
- Soon there will be morning, so I have to say goodbye to you two. In the library there will be readers, who will take place of gnomes and ghosts. I'm curious if you liked meetings with book characters and our journeys through their worlds?

Helping the ants
The book gnome came to Kate and Julie and said:
Dear girls, one of my good friends asked me to help him. It
is a good ant Ferda who lives in the anthill and takes care of everything
there. Nowadays they have big problems there – they have many new babies nad
too few nannies to look after them. Come please and help them.
The girls agreed so they followed the gnome to the redchair, sat on and immediately they occured in the middle of the anthill.
There were many ant babies crying, so they gave milk to them
and put them to sleep. Then they helped to tidy up all toys and prepared other
milk.
Ferda offered them a tour though the ant hill, explained and
described the life there.He also devoted a book to them full of stories from
his life outside and in the anthill.
The girls then returned back to the library looking forvard
to reading about Ferda (Ondřej Sekora) and his friends.

The competition by Skype
Yesterday we had the videocall with our friends from Czech Republic. We competed between our classes, who from us better memorized words from our spoken dictionary. I chose with the teacher Iveta six words from the dictionary that could children translate into Polish, Slovenian, Slovak, Czech and English languages. Students in each class worked in groups. They had to translate words approximately 15 minutes. They mastered it really perfectly. Congratulations to the pupils of 1.B class from Humenné and pupils of 2.A from Rosice!
