Joined classes
(in Bytom)

Aim:
We use this method to reduce aggressive behaviour which occurs among pupils.  Pupils in the same age but attending to the different classes show the most aggressive behaviour to each other. So we usually join these classes. When they work together, they notice that they can do something together and have similar interests. It helps them to become assimilated and reduce conflicts.

How we do it:
Pupils meet usually once a month ( it depends on the class teacher). In that time they do things they like to do. It can be manual activities ( the most popular) – doing Christmas cards, decoration for some festivals etc. It can be also acting activities or just playing board games. It can be whatever but they must like it and be willing to take part in it.

Based on this method we also organize some activities in which pupils in different age participate. These are also manual or acting activities.
