As I already said, I spent last week in September in The City of Youth. I took preschoolers from my Montessori group (13) and 5 children from other mixed groups. Colleague with whom I should go there couldn't go, so at the last moment intern jumped in. I must admit that it was interesting, though it was exhausting (I returned chronically sleepy), it was nicer then I expected: all the children were better than I expected, and the staff of the City of Youth is always ready for cooperation and assistance if the needed. Since most of the days was cloudy and rainy and the mud was all around our house, we spent part of the time in The Old School where are cabinets that are well equipped (better than any other city kindergarten in Zagreb - at least as far as I know). Given the many attractions in The Old School and an interesting forest and park around the houses in which children are, it was too little time to explore everything. All in all, the children have good time and returned home full of impressions.

Napravili smo hrast na tkanini. Djeca su oslikala tkaninu u jesenskim bojama, izrezali smo listove od hrasta (u Gradu mladih ima najviše hrastova), opcrtali dvije dječje ruke za deblo i grane i zaljepili ponovno na tkaninu.

We made oak on the fabric. Children are painted fabric in the colors of autumn, we cut the leaves of oak (in The City of Youth has the most oaks), from childrens handprints we made the trunk and branches and glued on the fabric.

U ovoj maloj sobi je vrlo mračno, iako tako ne izgleda na fotografijama. U njoj djeca sjede ili leže na jastučićima i gledaju edukativne filmove prilagođene predškolskom uzrastu. Mi smo gledali dokumentarni film o životinjama koje žive na stablu.

In this small room is very dark, though it doesn't look like it on the photos. Children sit or lie on cushions and watch educational films adapted for preschoolers. We watched a documentary about animals that live in a tree.

Djeca su u šumi tražila biljke i predmete sa sličica te su križićem obilježavala što su pronašla.
The children were in the woods looking for plants and objects and put a little cross on the photo when they found it.
