This October, our school participated in the 10,000 steps challenge.  Nine classes with a total of 70 students plus one team of nine teachers participated and walked a total of 14,669 kilometers!  The winners of the challenge for our school was 3B with a total of 3,703km.  The teachers came in second place with a total of 2,610km, and the mixed class of students from 3A/3B/3C came in third with a total of 1,918km.

Miroslava Knapová was the student with the most kilometers and walked a total of 633.8km.  Kateřina Vávrová was second with 571,6km, and Tereza Sedláčková was a very close third place with 570.6km.  Students who walked over 400km were Adam Hoff with 564km, Adam Božek with 563km, Matyáš Drastik with 461km, and Lukáš Poláček with 420km.

The winning class won a pair of Dedoles socks and the top three students won a tote bag with the 10.000 kroků logo.  All students and teachers who participate in the challenge received a certificate of participation.

The teachers put up a great effort and came in 8th place in Krnov out of 31 teams.  The teachers with the most kilometers were Andrea Frasier with 654km, Jiří Švéda with 389km, Alice Marková with 307 km, and Alena Veverková with 297km.

Each Monday of October, a few students and teachers went on walks around Krnov.  The first walk was on Cvilín along the yellow running route which leads up to the church on the hill.  The second walk was along the river to the TV tower in Hlubčicka, the third walk was to the lookout tower on Ježnik, the fourth walk was to the Bezruč monument on Mohyla, and the final walk was to the Šelenburk castle ruins.  We were lucky to have beautiful weather each Monday which allowed us to enjoy the fall colors and scenery around town.

On October 22, two very brave students, Adam Hoff and Adam Božek, along with Andrea Frasier, joined a group of people from Krnov who took a train to Zlaté Hory and walked back to Krnov.  They walked a total of 43km and it took over 10 hours, including a lunch break halfway in Holčovice.

By the end of the challenge, everyone was tired and ready to put their feet up and not worry about how many steps they had for the day!  I was pleasantly surprised and thrilled that so many students participated and it was definitely challenging for myself to stay ahead of the girls in 3B!

Thanks to everyone who participated and I hope to see you again in April!

OČIMA ÚČASTNÍKŮ

Na začátku školního roku jsme se my, studenti 3.B, těšili do školy na nové zážitky a zkušenosti. Vše začalo zájezdem do Francie, návštěvou hlavního města Prahy a pro další zážitek nás nadchla paní učitelka Andrea Fraiser, se svou výzvou 10 000 kroků.

Od toho vedl jen malý krůček k registraci celé třídy na portálu a tím začala naše měsíční výzva. I přes lehkou rivalitu některých z nás, se třída nenechala odradit a nakonec výzva utužila náš třídní kolektiv. Ušli jsme celkem úctyhodných 3 703 km, což nám zajistilo 1. místo na naší škole.

Doufáme, že podobné výzvy přijdou i v budoucnu, a všichni už sbíráme síly na dubnové klání, kdy určitě potvrdíme první místo.

Těšíme se na příště.
