As every October so far, this one was no different. The pupils in Moravice decorated an autumn corner bring autumn fruits such as potatoes, peppers, corns, pumpkins, nuts, chestnuts, wheat, hawthorns, and many more. They even made a boy out of straw which they dressed in jeans and a hat. He looked like a real farmer.
During the month of October, we had a very special guest who told us many interesting stories of Moravice. He is an award-winning farmer and nature lover, snake whisperer, and protector of the old fruit species and well as the keeper of the local written and oral treasures. His name is Đorđe Dokmanović and thanks to him, our pupils got the chance to find out that all the land from the Macijansko lake to Gladi was covered with wheat, that Empress Maria Theresa of Austria demanded that all the locals grow fruit to avoid hunger, the school in a village Dokamnovici was the first one in whole Croatia that had a fruit school as well a school of beekeeping...Mr. Dokmanovic intrigued pupils and made them very curious regarding their homeplace. We parted with a promise we'll visit him in his orchard in the spring. Hopefully, we'll keep our promise.
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!
