A figurine made of copper alloy discovered in the area of Tymawa, Gniew commune, during the search with metal detector, perfectly fits into the horizon of this type of finds from the early Middle Ages. The specimen discussed in the text has features of uniqueness in terms of the form in which the animal was depicted, and the closest analogies are the complex of artefacts from the north-west Slavic territory, which are presented in this text. Further analogies, signaled in the text, come from the territory of Poland and broader from the Baltic Sea basin. All of them allow us to date the artefact probably to the 10th-11th century and associate it with Slavic settlement. The analysis of the function and meaning of the artefact presented in the text is directed towards symbolic and religious interpretation. The figurine was probably associated with the high status of divine horses, known from temple complexes described in a few written sources. It seems that it is possible to try to link this category of artefacts with deities associated with the sphere of prosperity and trade, in the type of Trzygław - Weles, in which worship horses played a significant role.

Двести детей дошкольного возраста и учеников первых классов начальной школы приняли участие в программе развития основных навыков чтения и письма посредством взаимодействия с лошадьми. Программа использует серию трех взаимодействий с лошадями для повышения мотивации воспитанников детсадов и школьников к изучению чтения. Во время знакомства с лошадями участники программы получают экземпляры книги, которую они будут читать на протяжении следующих шести недель. В течение этого периода дети принимают участие в занятиях, посвященных лошадям, в рамках обычных уроков, а также читают полученную книгу. В конце программы ее участники отправляются на экскурсию на ферму, где им предлагается читать вслух и взаимодействовать с лошадями в качестве награды за помощь на ферме. Приобретение навыков чтения и письма в раннем возрасте и показатели успеха в этой области измерялись с помощью тестов в начале и в конце эксперимента, а также качественных данных, собранных среди учителей и родителей. Результаты показывают статистически значимый рост показателей грамотности. Участники программы также показали увеличение знаний о лошадях.

Two hundred kindergarten and first grade students participated in a program to develop early literacy skills through horse interaction. The program uses a series of three-horse interaction experiences to increase motivation to read. During the introduction to the horse, students are provided with a copy of the book they will read over the next six weeks. The students participate in horse-focused activities over the next six weeks during regular classroom instruction along with practice time reading the book. At the end of the program, students attend a field trip to a farm where they are invited to read aloud and engage in further interaction with horses as a reward for their work. Early literacy skills and literacy success indicators were measured through a pre-/post-test as well as qualitative data collected from teachers and parents. Results show statistically significant increases in literacy indicators. Students also demonstrated an increase in horse knowledge.
