Kindergarten Science Day – Cooking Day

On Friday April 17th K1 and K2 students participated in their first online science day. They had to prepare a healthy three course lunch. They could choose from a few different recipes. After cooking and eating, their job was to clean everything up. At the end of the day they tested their knowledge about a healthy diet with an online quiz.
The day was a success. The children and parents enjoyed themselves greatly.

Earth Day

Dear parents,

Today we celebrate Earth Day. Let’s celebrate our home planet!

The coronavirus is also having a big impact on the environment. Some of it positive — a big drop in factories’ CO2, airline, traffic and greenhouse gas emissions — some of it negative — growing piles of possibly infected waste like tissues and old face masks.

In some countries the skies have turned blue and many people can see the mountains for the first time. In Italy’s Venice, meanwhile, canal water is so clear fish can be easily seen.

All this is an unexpected upside of the coronavirus crisis that has proved global air quality can be dramatically improved – and fast.

Can the pandemic teach us about living with nature?

Enjoy this sunny day and take your child/ren on a scavenger hunt.

Take care,

Irena Šteblaj

Postcards

The students from my PYP Slovenian class took an imaginary trip around the world and sent us postcards written in Slovenian.

Well-Being

Dear parents,

We are now in social isolation for the sixth week.  Looking after one’s self and a healthy lifestyle are important as they will help with coping and adapting better to confinement.  Well-being starts with a positive attitude and positive mindset.
Here are some ideas for activities that may lift your spirits and for which there is usually not enough time in regular life.

Keep safe!

Best wishes,

Irena Steblaj

Make a Paper Horse that Walks!

A Message to Start the Week

Dear parents,

At the end of last week our team analysed the work of our students, based on the formative assessment of their learning process. Most of them did excellently! I am very proud of their work. That is the way to go!

To help certain students, who still need more scaffolding to finish this school year with good results, we will organise individual help and supervision for them. The teachers appointed for the task will contact them. Their parents have been informed that they must improve their participation to reach the objectives and required standards of our programmes. They should keep working on as they are improving, while the online learning continues. 

Keep up the good work!

Kind regards,

Irena Šteblaj
