Third-graders from Savremena made the website inspired by Tolkien's works

An end-of-the-year Computer Science project for the third-graders from Savremena included creation of a website.

The project that stood out was the one of Larisa Vasović and Zvezdana Filipović, who had chosen as their subject Tolkien’s works “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Silmarillion”. Their selection was inspired by the books they had read in English.

The website content is mostly humour-based, but also includes the quotations from the books used as resources. Some details are the figments of the two girls, imaginatively created to make the reading more interesting. On the website you can discover what the most probable holiday destinations in Mordor could be depending on which dark lord you choose, what is the current weather forecast on Arda, whether Manwë is the lord of chickens, etc.  

Zvezdana and Larisa believe the website content that Tolkien’s fans read will raise a laugh and that the project will inspire others to watch the films, but to read the books as well.

Larisa and Zvezdana’s project can be viewed here.

I am extremely pleased and proud to be the parent of a Savremena student. During my first encounter with the school management, when I asked about my child’s potential enrolment, I saw how much love, enthusiasm and professionalism you put in your work. I was impressed by your approach, ideas and methods. I couldn’t believe something like this existed in our country! It doesn’t take long to realise that this is a school you would recommend to everyone. Creativity, modern technology, top-quality education, and most of all, the humaneness that can be seen throughout the school, make it truly different and worthy of its name – Savremena Gimnazija. With such an approach, the success of this school and, consequently, our children’s success, is unavoidable. Congratulations! Jelena Đorđević, Andrija’s mum
