November 16th is a very special day which celebrates tolerance among people. So mark this day in your calendars because it’s Tolerance Day.
What is tolerance? Very simple question, right? Try to answer it. It’s no longer so simple.
With a reference to www.dictionary.com, tolerance is a fair and objectice attitude towards those whose opinions, beliefs, practices, racial and ethnic origins, etc. differ from one’s own.
How did November 16th become Tolerance Day? Well, in 1996, the UN General Assembly (by resolution 51/95) invited UN Member States to observe the International Day for Tolerance on 16 November. This action followed up on the United Nations Year for Tolerance, 1995, proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in 1993 at the initiative of UNESCO.
In 1995, to mark the United Nations Year for Tolerance and the 125th anniversary of the birth of Mahatma Gandhi, UNESCO created a prize for the promotion of tolerance and non-violence. It’s the UNESCO-Madanjeet Singh Prize for the Promotion of Tolerance and Non-Violence and it rewards significant activities in the field of science, art, culture or communication. It is aimed at the promotion of a spirit of tolerance and non-violence.
Today we are promoting tolerance among the pupils of our school teaching them that they are all different but here, at school they are the same. They are equal among the equals. There’s no difference among them regerdless whether they are Croats, Serbs or Bosnians, Catholics, Orthodox or Muslims, tall or short, slim or fat, and so on. All these differences make them special but not better than others. The beauty of tolerence lies in accepting the differences and embracing them. Respect these differences even if you disagree with your peers’ opinion. Respect the difference.
You may all be different fish but at our we swim together!

On 7 October we visited one of Crotian national parks which is also the oldest one. We had a lot of fun on the way there...as well as on the way home...At first the weather was cloudy but it wasn't raining. However, our luck didn't last...During the second half of our sightseeing the rain started...and we hurried to the bus...Some of us got wet more than others.
Despite the weather we had the best time ever!
P.S. It was also our teacher's birthday and our present to her was a folk song wishing her to live until she's 105 and then all over again!
6th class, Moravice
