Our Little Library This school year, pupils from P3+4S enthusiastically participated in the Naša mala knjižnica (Our Little Library) reading project. Together, we read six diverse and engaging books and completed various creative and fun activities in our workbooks. One of the highlights was the book The Adventures of Skeleton Janko. We had the opportunity to meet the author, Triinu Laan, in an online session. We were even more thrilled to welcome the illustrator, Marija-Liisa Plats, for an in-person visit. We also participated in the first international quiz, competing in a book-themed challenge alongside several Italian schools. As a special reward, we received the book Sara and the Forgotten Square, which we proudly donated to our school library. We thoroughly enjoyed being part of this project and look forward to joining again next year!

Visit to Ysgol Y Dderi School in Wales From 7th to 11th April, two of our teachers, Ms Katarina and Ms Raquel, had the exciting opportunity to visit Ysgol Y Dderi in Wales as part of the Erasmus project. It was a fabulous and enriching experience that gave them firsthand insight into the Welsh school system and allowed them to explore innovative approaches to outdoor learning. During their visit, they also connected with educators from Greece, Italy, Serbia, and Norway, exchanging ideas, experiences, and best practices. This valuable exchange helped strengthen international collaboration in education.
S1–S3 Outdoor Adventure in Osilnica From Monday, 5 May, students from S1 to S3, accompanied by four teachers, embarked on a three-day adventure to the picturesque municipality of Osilnica. The excitement was already evident on the coach journey and stayed with us throughout the trip. Upon arrival, we settled into Hotel Kovač in the village of Sela. After a delicious lunch, we set off on a walk to explore the local area. Despite the rain, we visited a fish farm and listened to captivating stories about life in Osilnica. In the evening, our guide gave an engaging presentation on the town’s history, and we ended the day with some enjoyable social games. The second day was packed with outdoor activities. Pupils explored the Čabranka and Kolpa rivers, tried fishing, learned about medicinal plants, and went on a scenic cycling trip. After dinner, some watched a football match, while others relaxed with board games. On the final day, we started with climbing and archery—two definite highlights. After one last tasty lunch, it was time to say goodbye to Osilnica and head home. We returned with wonderful memories of three days filled with outdoor learning, laughter, new experiences, and lasting friendships.
Measurement Experiment Does the Size and Weight of an Orange Affect Its Juice Volume? This was the central question that sparked P1E’s latest math inquiry. To apply their newly acquired skills in measuring length, weight, and volume, the students carried out a hands-on experiment. With curiosity and enthusiasm, they measured the diameter and weight of each orange before squeezing it to determine the volume of juice. Through careful observation and comparison, the class concluded that the size and weight of an orange are directly proportional to the amount of juice it produces. Of course, the best part of the experiment was getting to enjoy the delicious, tangy juice afterward!
Today, the children from our kindergarten spent a wonderful morning outdoors, enjoying the fresh air as they walked along the Path of Remembrance. With great enthusiasm, they explored the trail, collected a stamp, and had fun spending time together in nature.
English and Slovene Sections – Years 1 and 2: School in Nature at Debeli Rtič 🌊🍩 This week, our Year 1 and Year 2 pupils enjoyed a wonderful adventure as part of our School in Nature programme at Debeli Rtič! 🌞 We rolled up our sleeves and learned how to make miške – a delicious traditional Slovene treat – and they were a huge hit! 👩🍳👨🍳 We spent lots of time playing outdoors and exploring the coast, making the most of the fresh air and seaside surroundings. 🌳🏖️ But what we loved most was spending time together, learning new things, and creating beautiful memories.
Miss Laura and Mateja visited the Centre for European Schooling in Dunshaughlin, Ireland, in February as part of the Erasmus project, where they were invited to observe lessons and gain insight into how the school runs its daily life and routines. The visit provided them with a valuable opportunity to understand different teaching approaches and compare them with practices in Slovenia. They also took part in the course "European School for All Children", where they presented their school and country, and connected with teachers from across Europe. The exchange of experiences, ideas, and good practices was both inspiring and enriching. During their stay, they had the chance to explore Irish culture, visit Dublin, and experience the warmth and openness of the local people. A key focus of the course was the UDL (Universal Design for Learning) approach, which promotes inclusive teaching by adapting lessons to different learning styles, interests, and abilities. UDL aims to create a learning environment where every child can succeed. The entire experience was truly rewarding for both teachers and will positively influence their future work in the classroom.
