VI. osnovna škola Varaždin

Open Day at 6th Primary School Varaždin is traditionally held on the School Day (the 6th of December, also the Varaždin Town Day) each school year.  Many parents with their children, former students and retired teachers visit our school on that day and they all have a lot of fun. 

They can see some of the pupils' work displayed on the pinboards or digitally presented and participate in all kinds of activities.

This year it was held on Friday, the 4th of December 2015, from 5 to 6.30 p.m. Each pupil was given a written invitation for his family, so many parents attended the Open Day. Teachers (assisted by a few students) prepared short presentations, demostrations and experiments for the visitors, which were followed by short interactive workshops. By participating in the workshops the visitors had the opportunity to show what they had just learned and they got grades for their knowledge. There were many different workshops in most school subjects and activities, each with a specific topic.

Here is the list of subjects and topics:

Croatian – Picture Story; School Essays; Croatian Language and Dialects
Maths – Percentages on Sales;  Pythagorean theorem; Scientific Notation of Numbers; Maths Stories (Riddles); Basic Principles of Counting
