Editorial
Welcome to the first issue of the annual school magazine My Way/Mein Weg.
The main purpose of this publication is to offer our readers an inside view of
some important events and extra-curricular life in Primary School Stevan
Jakovljević and to present our students' work. The first edition of the magazine
My Way/Mein Weg has been both a difficult task and an enjoyable experience.
Whether you are a student, a teacher, a parent, a former staff member or just a
friend of the school, we believe you will find this magazine well worth your time.
There are many advantages of learning two or several languages, and
overcoming language barriers can certainly increase the likelihood of
intercultural knowledge and friendship, so in this issue of our school magazine
we offer the texts written both in English and German. Also, a part of this issue is
in Serbian because we want to stress the importance of our native tongue.
On behalf of the magazine team, we would like to thank everybody who
contributed. We hope you will enjoy reading My Way/Mein Weg!

INTERVJU:
Direktorka škole:
Snežana Tanić
Andrej Đukić, Filip Marković,
Jovan Radovanović
2017
Šta ste želeli da postanete kada ste bili
mali?
„U tom mlađem periodu najviše sam
razmišljala o tome da budem arhitekta, neko
ko ce da gradi zgrade i kuće i neke objekte
modernog stila, ali sam imala usmeravanje
od mojih nastavnika i profesora da budem
nastavnica matematike zato sto sam najvise
interesovanja iskazivala za matematiku i
onda se na kraju i to ostvarilo, ali nisam
postala profesor matematike nego profesor
fizike. Jednostavno kad sam počela da
proučavam fiziku shvatila sam da me fizika
više interesuje zato sto se fizika bazira na
eksperimentima a mene je to više zanimalo.“
Da li vas posao direktorke ispunjava i da
li ste zadovoljni kako vidite sebe?
„Da ovo je interesantan posao, posao koji se
sastoji iz mnogo različitih segmenata u
odnosu na moj primarni posao profesora
fizike, i u nasem sistemu obrazovanja ne
postoji forma za direktora škole i morate
sami kroz iskustva drugih direktora koji su
pre mene radili ovaj posao, da prosto
osmišljavate i kreirate svoj posao. Ja najviše
pažnje posvećujem onome što je lepo u
ovom poslu i to me ispunjava. A da li je
posao direktora lak? Iskreno nije. Najlepši
deo ovog posla mi je u školi pre svega sa
učenicima i kolegama a ono sto me malo
vise opterećuje to su oni poslovi koji se rade
sa drugim ustanovama van škole zato sto je
neophodno da sa njima sarađujem.“
Da li ste oduvek želeli da radite sa
decom?
„Nisam u ranijoj mladosti o tome razmišljala
pošto sam u početku rekla nešto o arhitekturi
ali obzirom na to usmeravanje koje sam
imala od mojih profesora ja sam nekako
počela da razmišljam o tom radu. Moj uzor
mi je pre svega bila moja učiteljica a potom
i nastavnica matematike u osnovnoj i
srednjoj školi. Počela sam i da se bavim baš
razmišljanjem o tome da ću da radim sa
decom i tada sam počela da čitam dečiju
psihologiju. Tako da sam u mladosti u tom
uzrastu od petnaestak godina počela
intenzivno da čitam deciju psihologiju, ne
jer sam imala neki predmet koji to zahteva
već iz sopstvenog interesovanja, što me je na
3
kraju dovelo do ovde gde sada jesam, a to je
najlepši posao“
Kako našu školu vidite u budućnosti?
„ Našu školu u budućnosti vidim kao školu
koja će imati svoju autonomiju koja će
zakonski biti definisana. Naša škola, takođe,
učestvuje u fakultativnom programu na temu
informacione tehnologije i robotike sa MEŠ
školom, i ja u tom smeru i vidim budućnost
naše škole, da se uvek bavi onim
najsavremenijim trendovima, a u ovom
momentu su to informacione tehnologije u
okviru fakultativnog programa. Naš cilj je
da naša škola po tome i bude prepoznatljiva.
Sve je to počelo tako sto smo čitali
istraživanja koja se rade na zapadu gde je
recimo putem istraživanja dokazano da deca
od prvog razreda treba da se zainteresuju za
ovu oblast jer koliko god da je to trenutno
aktuelno u svetu jos uvek nije dovoljno, i
mali broj ljudi zaista zna o čemu je reč, kada
govorimo o informacionim tehnologijama.
Mi hoćemo da ta istraživanja iskoristimo i
da i mi, naravno, uspemo da osavremenimo
taj fakultativni program i po tome budemo
prepoznatljivi u našem gradu, a i ne samo to,
već na taj način zajedno sa MEŠ-om želimo
da damo podršku našoj zajednici, dakle, ne
da kao škola mi uvek očekujemo podršku od
zajednice, već da je i mi njoj pružimo,
naravno, kroz našu osnovnu delatnost, a to
je vaspitanje i obrazovanje mladih.“
Po vašem mišljenju, po čemu se naša
škola najviše razlikuje od drugih?
„Naša škola se razlikuje od drugih po etosu.
Etos je međuljudski odnos, dakle, po tome
prvo, a zatim se razlikujemo i po tome što se
bavimo takozvanim novim pristupom
nastavi, a to je takozvani razvoj
kompetencije kod učenika, onda se
razlikujemo po tome što više od drugih
škola razvijamo digitalne kompetencije kod
dece, po tome što pokušavamo da naša
saradnja sa učenicima, između nastavnika i
učenika, bude bazirana na partnerskim
osnovama, dakle, da vas osnažimo, da vas
naučimo da imate svoj stav, da ga branite i
da imate reference da taj stav mozete da
proveravate i upoređujete sa drugima. I za
kraj, jedna rečenica koju sam izgovorila a
kasnije je i zapisala, obilazeci osmi razred,
a naravno za nju ste me svi vi motivisali, a
ona glasi: Učinite sve za sebe da osetite
zadovoljstvo uspeha. To bi bilo to, hvala
vam na ovom divnom intervjuu.”

Predrag Stojanović,
The Former Head Teacher of
Our School
‘Believe in yourself and never give up
on what you want’
Milica Ranđelović
2017
tevan Jakovljević Primary School has
had many successful head teachers.
One of them was Predrag Stojanović
(72) who is retired now, and we talked with
him about his experience as a head teacher.
How long had you been working at this
school?
“At first, I had been a teacher for 40 years. I
had taught children aged between 7 and 11;
and then, I became the head teacher and
worked at this school for another 10 years.”
How difficult was it to be a head teacher?
Did you have a highly responsible
position?
“Being a head teacher was very difficult and
you had to be very responsible. I always
tried to respect the rights of students and, of
course, the teachers.”
Which job was more difficult, being a
teacher or head teacher?
“Well, both of these jobs were very
demanding, but my job as a head teacher
was more complex. You had to manage all
the documents, students and staff. Also, you
had to organize competitions and make
school better for students. So it was very
difficult and strenuous.”
It seems that you deserved full credit for
the success of this school…
“The students deserved full credit for the
success. This school won 4th place at its
first eighth grade testing.”
If you could, what would you do to
improve our education now?
“I would change a lot of things. I would
implement smaller class size in schools; I
would improve friendship between students
and teachers and working conditions in
schools as as well.”
Which advice would you give to me and
my friends at the end of the eighth grade?
“Well, first, you should listen to yourselves,
and then the others… Believe in yourself
and never give up on what you want.”

Dr. Miljan Jovančević
‘It is very important to enhance
your self-confidence’
Dimitrije Grozdanović
2016
uring our final year in school, we
were talking a lot about our future
career choices. Those choices were
different, and the students were thinking
about many and various professions. Some
of them wanted to become doctors,
architects, sportsmen, IT experts,
anthropologists… I am interested in
medicine, so I decided to interview a
pathologist Dr. Miljan Jovančević.
Why did you choose to be a pathologist?
“I like researching this field of medicine and
I think it is very exciting and interesting.
When I started working as a doctor, I
worked in accident and emergency (A&E).
Back then, I was interested in diagnostic
medicine. Although, diagnostic medicine
and pathology were not related to my
previous work in the accident and
emergency unit; I started thinking about it as
an opportunity for the future specialization
so I chose pathology considering the fact
that I was very interested in this type of
diagnostic medicine. When I was thinking
about specializations, there weren’t many
choices…that’s why I decided to study
pathology.”
Can you, please, describe your job?
“I have to examine samples of tissues under
the microscope and establish the right
diagnosis. Pathology offers an objective way
of thinking without any doubts or any “what
ifs”. So, it certainly requires some accuracy,
punctuality, and it is an exciting and very
interesting profession. On the other hand, for
a right diagnosis you have to work hard and
be as hard-working as you can.”
When did you start thinking about this
profession?
“I hadn’t thought about pathology until I
finished medical school. First when I started
working as a general practitioner, I didn’t
have a vision of what would be my future
specialization, unlike my colleagues who
already had known what they would
specialize. So, the idea of pathology came to
me after I had finished the college, and after
I had thought about some other professions,
which helped me choose more easily.”
Was it hard for you at the beginning?
“Yes, it was very hard for me because I was
working on my own and there weren’t some
other colleagues to help me with my work.
In this medical field, at first you don’t
believe in yourself, and it is very important
to enhance your self-confidence. When I
needed some extra help, I turned to my
Professor of Pathology at the University,
and he was very helpful. In the beginning, I
was not confident about my diagnostic
D
6
abilities, and I approached the University
with a request for more help so I avoided
misdiagnosis. Later, I gained the self-
confidence I needed and continued to do my
work successfully, of course, with some help
from the University.”
What does pathology investigate?
“Pathology is the science of the causes and
effects of diseases. It deals with changes in
body tissues and organs, caused by different
illnesses. The medical examination
procedure performed in diagnostic
pathology is biopsy; it involves extraction of
different sample tissues from a living body
performed to establish the right diagnosis. It
is performed to determine whether patient is
suffering from an illness. Also, there is a
post-mortem examination — autopsy — to
determine the cause of death. It can be
performed by a pathologist or medical
examiner. There is a difference between
them: the medical examiner’s task would be
to perform an autopsy if a death is deemed
suspicious or violent.”
What is the task of the pathologist?
“Making the correct diagnosis which will
lead to further medical treatment. When the
right diagnosis is established, doctors choose
the treatment with which they will proceed.
There are two methods of diagnosing:
firstly, identifying the type of disease by the
tissue sampling method; another method
involves taking a piece of an organ, which is
then delivered to me, so that I can determine
the stage of the disease. The stage of the
disease is the key factor influencing
treatment decision-making.”
What personal qualities should a
pathologist have?
“Pathology is the area of medicine which is
very intellectually demanding. It requires
self-discipline, which is very important.
Also, it is important to be very hard-working
and intellectually strong, and to be able to
understand the observed images. Every
pathologist should always be willing to learn
something new and always be curious. That
is something that cannot be taught; it can
only be achieved if you love what you do.”
Key words: doctor, medicine, pathology,
analysis, diagnosis, biopsy, tissue, sample,
treatment, laboratory, research, science.

successful sportswomen in Serbia. It was
our great pleasure to interview Biljana
Đukić:
Biljana, you have been involved in sport
for the whole of your life, haven’t you?
“Yes, that's right.”
When did you start skiing?
“My parents were professional skiers, and
they had a great influence on me. I started
skiing when I was only four years old.”
What were the ski conditions at the time?
“It was very hard. We had to travel very
often to find suitable snow coverage. If you
want to be professional you have to ski all
the year round.”
You achieved great success as a
competitor, didn't you?
“Yes, in 2002, I won the Balkans slalom
championship; and I won many Serbian
championships. Also, I was the Serbian
Olympic team member in 1992 and 1994.”
You won the Balkans Championship, and
then you decided to end your career.
“Yes, that’s right. I wanted to raise my
child, and it was my first priority. I was 28
years old.”
Do your plans for the future include
skiing?
“I will ski only for recreation. Also, I have
my own ski club which I run with my
husband. Members of the club are of all
ages. Every year we organize ski camps for
children.”
Thank you for being our guest today!
“Thank you, it was my pleasure!”

Bosna and Herzegovina. My favourite
competitions in Serbia take place in
Belgrade and Novi Sad.”
Is it hard for you to do it, and how

FRIENDS ABROAD:
A LETTER FROM
NEW YORK CITY
Hello,
My name is Milosh Starchevich. My dad is
from Belgrade and my mom is from Paraćin. I
was born in New York City back in 2004. I
currently go to intermediate (secondary)
school PS128, and I am in 7th grade. My
younger sister Sofia, who is 7 years old,
attends the same school and she is in 2nd grade.
In NYC, up until the fifth grade every school
year children get a different teacher, and we
are assigned into the new class with new
classmates. The sixth grade students are
grouped together mostly according to their
academic performance, and at that point we
have the same classmates, but each class is
taught by a different teacher. Each year we
get a new Homeroom teacher too.
Throughout the school year my English and
Math teachers spend a great deal of time
preparing us for the end of the year
Standardized State Exam. Every year we take
this exam in Math and English Language, and
in fourth and eighth grade in Science, and
Spanish. The score you get on this exam, along
with your grades in all other classes
determines your next school year class
assignment. The highest score you can get is
4.50. Based on this scale the class assignments
are made, such as remedial program (RP),
Standard Program (SP), and advanced or
accelerated program (AP). This year I am in
the accelerated program where academic
expectations are the highest. My class is also
called Honors Class. Part of the requirement
for this class, aside from keeping good grades
throughout the whole school year, good
behavior, and attendance, is that before the
end of the school year we have to collect at
least 40 hours of community service. This
means that I have to volunteer to help other
people and get written note that proves my
service for them. Sharing my story with you is
also one of the activities where my time is
dedicated to you, and your school paper.
Aside from Science and Math, my favorite
subject is Technology. This year technology is
lots of fun as we are focusing on learning how
14
to build our own webpage. Another favorite
subject this year is the Spanish language. This
is my third language as I understand and
speak the Serbian language too.
My least favorite subject is Social Studies – I
believe in Serbia that would be History. In 7th
grade we get homework every night and
weekly tests and quizzes to assess what we
have learned. Grades are given as a percent
with 65 being a passing grade, and 100 the
highest grade. In lower grades teachers use
numbers from 1- 4, where 1 is passing, 2
approaching, 3 grade level, and 4 above grade
level.
After school I like to stay in the schoolyard
and play basketball with my friends. I like
music too, mostly rock. Every Friday after
school hours, I have a guitar lesson. My guitar
teacher comes to my home and teaches me
how to play the acoustic and electric guitar.
Aside from school activities I like sports. I
practice track and field, and run for my school
team - you guys call it athletics. I can run a
mile (1.6 km) in 5 minutes and 30 seconds, and
4 miles (6.4 km) in 22 minutes and 16 seconds.
Last year I got 3rd place in NYC for running a
mile with kids 12 years or younger. NYC is
surrounded by water. It is on the coast of the
Atlantic Ocean, and on the banks of the
Hudson river. Maybe that is why I like
swimming. I have been swimming since I was 5
years old. My father helps me a lot since he is
the swimming coach. However, most of all I
love tennis. As many of you guys started
watching tennis because of Đoković, I became
obsessed with it too. I have been practicing
tennis since third grade and have competed in
many tournaments on the NYC local level. I
have got more than a few trophies, and
looking forward to win more.
I hope that I was able to tell you a little bit
about my life in NYC. I am looking forward to
reading your articles and learning more about
your school life and after school interests.
Best regards,
Doviđenja,
Milosh Starchevich

Ein Brief aus der Schweiz
Hallo! Ich bin Gordana Vukić, Ich wohne seit 2 Jahren in der Schweiz. Mein Leben in der Schweiz
ist seht interessant. Hier haben wir sehr viele Parks und Spielplätze. Wir haban nur eine Schule in
Bachenbülach. Ich gehe in die A. Klasse. Meine Klassenlehrerin heisst Livia Jucker. In meiner
neuen Klasse habe ich sehr viele neue Freunde gefunden. Mein Schulzimmer ist total gross. Wir
haben sehr viele Posters auf den Wänden. Wir haben so viele Fächer: Deutsch, Mathe,
Handerbeit, Sport, Englisch, Musik und bald Französisch. Von 1. bis 8. Klasse haben wir nur
Blätter als Hausaufgaben oder als Übung in der Schule. Wir müssen unsere Bücher auch nicht
bezahlen, wir bekommenn es von der Schule. Wie ihr wisst, haben wir einen Sportag. An diesem
Tag müussen die Unterstufne 60 Meter rennen, Weitsprung, Hochsprung springen. Die
Mitelstufe muss 400 Meter rennen auch wie die Unterstufe. In meiner Freizeit kann ich die
Freizeitkurse besuchen, mit Freunden abmachen, drausen spielen. In der Schweiz gefällt es mir
nicht, weil ich manchmal wegen der Schule um 6:00 Uhr aufstehen muss. Aber es gefällt mir,
weil wir erst um 8:20 Uhr Schule haben.

Ich habe bei ihm 4 Stunden jeden Montag. In der Schule haben wir immer 2 Stunden von einem
Fach. Nach der 2. Stunde haben wir eine Pause. Die Pause dauert 20 Minuten. Meine Klasse ist
sehr groß. Es gibt 33 Schüler. Alle Kinder sind sehr sympahtisch und fleißig. Sie sind nett zu mir.
Hausaufgaben haben wir fast immer. Selten sind die Hausaufgaben schwer,aber wenn wir
Hausaufgaben machen, bekommen wir einen Plus. Das ist gut, weil wir dann bessere Noten
haben. Hier in Deutschland ist die beste Note 1 und die schlechteste ist 6. Im ersten Schuhljahr
hatte ich 2 in Englisch und 1 in Mathe, Deutsch und Sport.

A POSTCARD FROM STOCKHOLM
Hi! My name is Nađa Draganović. I am 14 years old, and I am from Serbia, but I have lived in Sweden for almost two years.
I live in the capital city, Stockholm. I can say that there are many differences between these two countries; for example in the educational systems: there are nine grades in Swedish primary schools. When the students finish high school, they usually choose between going to university or finding a job. Students from all over the world come to Swedish schools, and teachers are just like your friends. In Serbia grades are numerical but in Sweden they are alphabetical. Also, every student gets a lap top at my school, and we don’t have to read only paper books. There are many holidays in Sweden, so we don’t go to school for a couple of days every month.
The Swedes are very nice, they always want to talk to you and help you. They like “fika”; it is Swedish for a coffee break —sometimes several times a day — with colleagues, friends or family;also, it is a significant part of the Swedish tradition. In my spare time, I like going out with my friends, and I spend a lot of time with my family as well. The Swedish language is very interesting, and I love it, especially because it has some unusual letters: å, ä, ö. Swedish films are good and there are many really good actors here; Swedish musicians are great and successful around the world as well. I really love Gamla Stan, or the Old Town, the medieval city center; you can see beautiful old buildings there and stroll the narrow cobblestone streets full of people. Sweden’s oldest amusement park Gröna Lund is not far away, so you can spend a memorable day there as well. I hope you will visit Stockholm some day and see all these interesting things.
Best regards,
Nađa Draganović

SCHOOL NOTES & MY DIARY
Mina Tošić
Today was just an ordinary day in my school. I had to get up early again, at 7a.m., in order to get ready for my classes. The first class was English and it started at 8 a.m. The mid-morning recess was at 8.45h, and today I stayed in the classroom to talk with my friends. I really enjoy the time I spend here so I think this is the best school in my town.

My school is considered to be the best in Paraćin. We have a great digital classroom (and we call it Samsung). I always enjoy the time I spend there because we use tablets instead of books. A couple of days ago, in this classroom, two young teachers were telling us about the new recycling bins in our school. Actually, it wasn't a big deal; I mean, we had already read the instructions supplied! Anyway, we got some nice “Healthy Kids” T-shirts from our ecology project teachers. Also, one more important thing: we have a great friendship here so the time just flies...
The alternative Christmas tree made out of plastic bottles (and the new recycling bins!)

Mina Šubarević ♫
Today was a great day at school. I got a B in Maths, and an A in Biology as well. Also, we had a great time in the schoolyard! We had played football and some time afterwards we took a seat on the bench and talked. My class is really the best. My fellow classmates say that we always have to help each other and try to be good friends. We all hang out together. We even go on vacations together. I hope we will still have close friendships when we finish the primary school. P.S. I have been playing the violin for seven years now. My favourite composers are Vivaldi and Sarasate.
Maša Icić There are twenty students in my class, 7/1. There are more boys than girls in the class, but it's O.K.! Sometimes we take part in competitions, and sometimes, we go together on field trips and enjoy picnics. My friends Mina, Lena, Ivana, and Darija are my squad called Winx. I love them so much! Well, my school is pretty much cool, and the teachers are quite good. I love to be here.
The space to be creative and artistic: autumn, fall, der Herbst, jesen...

Sara Obradović A day at school: a few notes… Today was just another pretty much interesting day at school... In history class we talked about Turkish victories in the Middle Ages. Later, in maths class, we got the test results.
We did the maths test yesterday and...yeah! I scored 100 points and got an excellent mark. Also, in physics class, we learned how to draw diagrams. English was so interesting today: we talked about Australian culture, history, animals, cities... In Serbian class the main topic of conversation was Desanka Maksimović's poem “Strepnja” (Anxiousness). It is a wonderful poem and Desanka was so sensitive and honest. Finally, our informatics class: we learned how to download audio and video from the Internet.
In the school corridor…

My school is pretty much cool, and we have lots of great teachers. Also, I can say that my class isreally special; well, I think that it is characterized by a lack of proper discipline. We are sometimesunbelievable. In math class, we are so quiet, but that’s because out math teacher is so strict. Everybody really loves PE and Art. Well, geography is just OK, but I prefer biology, English andGerman. Biology is totally fun and easy to understand, English is interesting and easy as well, andGerman is…hmm…I’m not so sure but I guess that I like it because I’m good at foreign languages (and I don’t mean to brag here). I like to be open-minded and learn new things and that’s why I like taking part in extracurricularactivities. I joined the school choir and the basketball team. I have extra English classes, and I have joinedthe book club as well. I absolutely hate group projects because you can’t really rely on others. However, I have some truly good friends and great classmates here.
Here you are, thank you, excuse me, please, sorry…

Artistic skills in the school: some nice masks
Dušan Banzić
The way I usually start my day
If we go to school in the morning (8 a.m.) I wake up at 7 a.m. and then I quickly get dressed and have breakfast. When our classes start at 2 p.m. I also set my alarm for 7 a.m. but then I just turn it off and sleep a little bit longer.
Well, something about the school…
I like our digital classroom where we can learn more efficiently; that’s one of the reasons this school is better than all other schools in this town. The most interesting time of the year for me is in summer when kids from English speaking countries come here, and we hang out with them and play some
games.

Aus meinem Tagebuch (Schule und Freunde)
Mein liebes Tagebuch,
ich habe dir lange nicht geschrieben. Es tut mir leid.
Heute ist Mittwoch. Mittwochs habe ich fünf Stunden. Ich hatte zwei Stunden
Werke, Mathe, Geo und Bio. Es war sehr lustig, weil ich eine super Klasse habe!!!
Wir haben den ganzen Tag gelacht. In den ersten zwei Stunden haben wir kleine
Häuser von unserer Stadt gegemacht. Maša, Ivana, Đole, Boki, Stefan und ich
haben unsere Schule und Schulhof gemacht. Unsere kleine Stadt sieht super aus.
In der Mathestunde waren wir fleißig. Wir haben viele Aufagben gerechnet. Die
interessanteste Stunde war heute Geo. Die Lehrerin hat uns gefragt, aber
niemand hat alles gelernt. Antworten waren sehr lustig und wir haben viiiiiiel
gelacht, aber die Lehrerin war sauer und sie wollte nicht mit uns sprechen. Dann,
in der fünften Stunde, haben wir interessante Texte über die Tiere gelesen. Dann
sind wir nach Hause gagangen. Es war eine Gruppe von dreizehn Freunden. Wir
haben auf der Straße gelacht und alle haben uns gesehen. Es war eine super Zeit
und ich war glücklich!!! Ich liebe meine Schule und meine Freunde und
Freundinnen.
Deine Lena ♥

The 8th grade field trip
report: the itinerary and
impressions
Lea Leković and Vasilija Petrović
e went on the field trip on 28
and 29 October 2016. Early in
the morning, most students of
the 8th grade were in front of the school. We
said goodbye to our parents and set off. It was
cloudy, but the weather got better later on.
Our first destination was the monastery of
Krušedol, and then we went to Sremski
Karlovci. That town surprised us greatly
because of its rich history. Our guide told us
about the history of Karlovci, the town’s
gymnasium and the famous fountain called
"Four Lions".
Then we went to Novi Sad, and visited
Petrovaradin square. We were really tired
and hungry so we had lunch at the hotel
"Vojvodina". Also, we had some free time to
look around the city. At the end of the day
we arrived in Subotica and stayed at a very
nice hotel. Later on, we got ready and went
to a disco. We had fun and a great time
there.
The next morning we went to visit the
centre of Subotica, and then we headed for
Palić. We saw a beautiful zoo there, and
Lake Palić as well. After that, we set off for
Paraćin. We arrived feeling exhausted but
also very happy.
This field trip was a great and valuable
experience; we learned some new things
and after all we had such a lovely time.
