P3–P5 Technical Day On Monday, 12 January 2026, students from P3 to P5 took part in a Technical Day organised in cooperation with Zavod Simetris. The programme, adapted to the students’ age group, was based on hands-on activities and experiential learning. Students in P3 and P4 explored electrical circuits, magnets, and magnetic fields, while P5 students learned about forces, simple machines, and motion. A particular highlight of the day was the construction of a small LEGO car, which the students enthusiastically tested and raced along the school corridor. The workshops took place in a creative and stimulating atmosphere and provided students with valuable opportunities to develop technical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.
ESLj Connect and Mingle At the European School Ljubljana, we aim to strengthen our sense of community and offer you a clearer insight into our programme and the way we work. This Thursday, 15 January, we warmly invite you to join us for an afternoon session in the Primary Cycle.
Haiku Competition at ESLj Upper-grade students from the Slovenian section wrote haikus during their Slovenian language classes. The poems were signed with pseudonyms and displayed in the school corridor, where students and teachers were invited to vote for their favourite haiku. All of the haikus will also be published in an upcoming issue of our school magazine, The Student Gossip. Third place was shared by MertA (Artem, S7S) and Ofelija Med (Lili, S5S). Second place went to Vrtalija (Sara, S7S) and Kokos (Nuša, S5S). The winner of the creative challenge was Obrin (Brina, S7S).
Young Financial Whizzes in Action On Thursday, 18 December, pupils from class P5S took part in an engaging and educational financial literacy workshop as part of the Be FIN project (Financially Informed Young Learners). The workshop was led by Ms Patricija Varšek, who introduced the pupils to the basics of money and finance in a clear, age-appropriate and interactive manner. The session began with a short film about young financial whizzes, which immediately captured the pupils’ interest and encouraged discussion. Pupils then revised the first three chapters of their workbook before taking part in activities focused on the former Slovenian tolar and the euro. They also solved tasks related to the symbols found on banknotes and coins and learned how to identify whether a banknote is genuine or counterfeit. Learning was further reinforced through educational games, including Banktivity and Finmemory, which combined key concepts with an element of fun. To conclude the workshop, each pupil received a Three in a Row game, allowing financial learning to continue at home. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Bank of Slovenia and its staff for their support in making this workshop a high-quality and successful learning experience. Pupils left the workshop enthusiastic and with a stronger awareness that responsible money management is an essential life skill.
