U našoj školi ovog je ljeta (20.8.-24.8.) održan tečaj engleskog jezika English in Action za učenike bivših petih, šestih i sedmih razreda. Na tečaju je sudjelovalo 23 učenika podijeljenih u 2 grupe, mlađa grupa Waystage (A2 razina) i starija grupa Treshold (razina B1). Voditelji tečaja Alex i Tessa su bili veoma zadovoljni visokom razinom znanja engleskog jezika kod svih učenika, a posebno ih je oduševio pogled iz zbornice i učionica. Na kraju tečaja učenici su pripremili kratku priredbu za roditelje gdje su prikazali projekte na kojima su radili (Olympic games, London, Nikola Tesla) i 2 odlična igrokaza (In a restaurant, BBC news).
