On Friday, February 17th, MYP 1 and MYP 2 Croatian Language and Literature students along with the 6th graders of the national programme competed in a sports commentary organized by the Croatian language teacher Ms. Mirjana Blažičko.

The competition was judged by a jury consisting of a professional commentator Mr. Ivan Blažičko, who has been in the business for 35 years, and our P.H.E. teacher Mr. Marko Korbar. The contestants selected and commented on various sports, football, basketball, handball, boxing, and we also had a contestant commenting on gymnastics. In this standout competition, each competitor prepared a 5-7 minute long recording of the sport of their choice. The jury evaluated 2 categories: sports knowledge and commenting. At the end of the competition, the jury pointed out mistakes and advised us to read as much as possible to expand our vocabulary and to improve our expression.

My opinion on this competition is very positive because commenting also improves the functionality of language use, proper accentuation and the use of Croatian sports terms (eg score, transition, corner kick…). Competitors were:

L.R (MYP 1)

F.Š (MYP 1)

F.M (MYP 1)

J.D (6.a)

F.F (6.a)

L.P (6.a)

I.D (MYP 2)

B.L (MYP 2)

 

And to the finals go:

L.R (MYP 1)

B.L (MYP2)

F.F (6.a)

J.D (6.a)

L.P (6.a)

I.D (MYP 2)
