The Day of Danila Kumar -“The Fearless Researcher Marie Curie and Radioactivity” (Neustrašljiva raziskovalka Marie Curie in radioaktivnost)

Our school acquired its name from the young Slovenian resistance member Danila Kumar, who lived in our school’s neighbourhood and was brutally killed in the Second World War. She was born on 13 October and that is why this day is the Day of Our School.
We commemorated this event, with a performance “The Fearless Researcher Marie Curie and Radioactivity” (Neustrašljiva raziskovalka Marie Curie in radioaktivnost), on Tuesday, 16 October.
The performance gave the audience insight about the scientist’s life and achievements as well as being very entertaining.

Danila Kumar with the poet Karel Destovnik Kajuh, photo taken in 1943, both were killed in 1944.

Science Day 5M – The Solar System

Grade 5 students had a science day on Thursday, October 11. The students had workshops organised in school as part of their work in the current Unit of Inquiry. They had to find out what a scale is and how to use it in real life. They had to convert the radius of all planets from kilometres into centimetres, according to different scales. Later on they had to decide which scale was the best to make their own planets, cut them out (using their scale), put them in order from the Sun and choose the right scale for the distance. The highlight of the day was the exhibition in the hallway, where they put planets in order. The students were really proud of their work!
