Mohylová Primary School: Through All Five Senses
Mohylová Primary School has become a popular destination for international student teachers, who visit our school to observe the variety of teaching methods and the ways in which teachers interact with the children. One could say that during their October visit, the Spanish, French, German, Danish, Swiss and Slovak students from the Erasmus programme experienced the Czech education system with all five senses at Mohylová. They visited the classrooms, listened to simple English sentences that our primary pupils use to communicate, and during a visit to the school garden, they were able to touch the herbs from the school beds and the fluffy rabbits. But their sense of smell and taste weren’t left out either. During their English lesson, the pupils of Class 3A made pancakes using an English recipe, which they offered to the students to smell and taste.
To ensure the students took home a memento of this unique Czech dish, they were given pancakes with homemade strawberry, apple and pine needle jam; they learnt that the apples and pine needles used came from trees in our housing estate, so they were savouring ‘regional school food’.
The visit from abroad delighted both the guests and the children, who enjoy discovering European countries by meeting people from them.
