5M Field Trip, Kavka – Day 5

The final day brought with it the realistaion that our Kavka adventure was coming to an end, but before it did, we still had things to see and explore. First, we went to visit a fish farm full of Marble trout, a native of the Soča river, some other breeds of fish, and told about the importance of the farm for nature. Then, a short tour of Kobarid was in order, which included the towering statue of Simon Gregorčič, a renowned Slovene poet from Kobarid, that dominates the town’s square. The journey back to Ljubljana was pleasant and relaxing, and the students and parents were happy to be reunited again. And if you would like to witness some of the sights and vistas we were treated to this week, Stage 19 of the Giro d’Italia will pass right past where we stayed, and will be broadcast on TV next Friday, 27th May.

MYP – Science Day – Koper

On Wednesday, 18 May, all the MYP students visited the Port of Koper and the Škocjanska gulf nature reserve. At the Port of Koper, we learned how the port functions and how vital sea trade is for local and international business. At the Škocjanska gulf, students were able to go for a short hike with a guide, observing the natural wildlife and learning about the importance of preserving fragile natural habitats.

K1 & 2 – Cycling Day

We had an amazing day on Wednesday, 18 May. We spent the whole morning on our bicycles and scooters. The teachers prepared a fun and challenging obstacle course for us, where we tested our handling abilities. In the end, all of us got diplomas for being great cyclists 🙂 

PYP – Sports Day

It was a lovely sunny day for the PYP Sports Day on Wednesday, 18 May. The students enjoyed various hikes, and the weather couldn’t have been more in our favour. Grades 1 and 2 students went on a hike to Saint Jakob, and grades 3 and 4 to Saint Miklavž above the Sava river. We all had a great time observing nature and the beautiful views. 

5M Field Trip, Kavka – Day 4

Day 4 started with morning gym, and another 4 lessons of the PYP project, with presentations of speeches. After lunch, the students chanced their arm at scaling the heights of Dom Kavka’s climbing wall, with much success. And in the evening the last night came to a fitting finale with many activities created by the visiting schools, including, a quiz testing us on prekmurian vocabulary, a word association game, questions revealing who the lucky contestants would be to go on a blind date, and, with the highlight being the dance, in which everyone partied and reveled to regional music classics.
