3. HISTORY OF OUR SCHOOL

4. Children learnt German language 8 hours a week (for comparison - Czech language is taught 4 hours a week now). No one of the teachers could be Jewish and they had to attend German lessons and they had to pass the exams there.In September 1941 the name of the school was changed. Its name was The main school for boys in Brno-Žabovřesky.1.10. 1941-Karel Sirotek, who had been teaching in our school for 20 years, took the responsibility for the school. He did reforms of teaching Czech language, Geography, History and Civics.Mr.Karel Sirotek died after the torture in concentration camp. The school is named after him.J. Hellar,P. Lang,J. Vančuřík 9.D Our school was built in 1907-1908 years. For boys and girls, but some of its classes weren‘t finished at that time. The first headmaster was Jan Brandýs. The classes were equiped and so the first school year started on 16th September 1908. 314 pupils attended the school in that year. The school year 1910-1911 meant a big development for the school. In March 1910 the construction of the school was finished. There were 17 classrooms and a gymnasium. And even an oltar was built there. Both World Wars had bad effect for our school. The building was damaged and the education of children was bad. The school organized charities during the World Wars. Compulsory teaching of German language was established from 5.10 1939. One of many reasons was that Brno was declared as a German town. Children had to learn German language more and more hours weekly at the expense of the other subjects.

19. Trip/Excursion to Vienna One day, on Friday, we made a visit to the Technical Museum in Vienna. The weather was quite bad. Even worse, the driver of the bus was very ill-humoured and he drove very quickly and in a very dangerous way. I personally liked it, but not the other participants. We reached the place in Vienna in about 1 hour 30 minutes. Of course, we needed to find a parking place. First, we visited the museum. It was very interesting and educative, but it lasted too long. Afterwards, the bus took us closer to the Centre of the town. We could see many cultural sights of Vienna. We finished the trip at??? After a short instructivon we had personal free time for one hour. Most students started to look for the close Mc Donalds and disappeared there. Then, we left for Brno and everybody went home.

On the first and second floor there were bathroom, toilets and room. We used two skilifts there and we had three skislopes for our disposal.

23. THE SLOUP OLYMPIAD

24. Our school, the Basic school Sirotkova, was as the only one chosen from our city of Brno to represent itself in the Olympiad in Sloup. It was a big tournament of many schools from the whole Southmoravian region and it took four days. On 26th June few children were picked to go and show what there‘s in them. There were to age categories- 6th& 7th and 8th&9thgrades. There were boys and girls taken into each age group.It was an Olympiad of many disciplines, from running, jumping, throwing and climbing, to swimming, shooting and dancing expect team games like volleyball, floorball etc. Our school took part in most of them, but we did not compete in the colective once, because we were not allowed to. We slept in the little wooden house just next the school that organized these games and so we did not have to go far to compete every morning. It was a nice trip for the end of the year. Everybody met new people, made new friends and was happy. We all liked it very much (at least from our school) and we all hope to have the honour this year again. After they dare to challenge us, of course. We must not forget to thank also the teachers, our P.E. teachers for their support, Mr. Jedlička that helped this Olympiad to be, and also Mrs. Ludvová and Mrs. Pařízková, that had the courage to take care of us and were with us all the time. We all liked it very much and hope it will be arranged at least once more   Written by J.Hobl
