French Exchange 2022 – Day 1

Adventure time!
Our flights were unexpectedly cancelled just before our departure due to strikes; however, we found a solution. We managed to find a bus that left the same day, and all 29 students from the national and international departments will finally meet their hosts and French partners after 22 hours of driving; finally, we will meet after 2 years! Persistence! What an eventful first day!

Kindergarten – Spring Camp, Last Day

We woke up very excited this morning because we knew that we would be reunited with our mums and dads again. The weather was perfect, so we took a longer hike observing farm animals, fields, meadows and some tractors. When reaching the edge of the forest, we stopped for a snack and started gathering some sticks and branches. We made a real fire, and it was fun, but naturally, we extinguished it before leaving. We received diplomas for courage and participation after lunch and then returned to Ljubljana. We had an amazing time over the past three days, but we were also very happy to return home. We hope to repeat this wonderful experience next year!!!

 

Kindergarten – Spring Camp, Day 2

After a long sleep, we woke up to a beautiful sunny morning. We went to explore the nearby forest and found many fun obstacle courses there by walking between trees, walking on rocks and crawling under fallen trunks. Then we observed little creatures with a unique magnifying “magic eye”. When we returned, we went climbing. The climbing wall was very challenging, but we were all fearless. In the afternoon, we were told a local folktale about a forest gnome Čatež. We returned to the forest and built many different houses for him using only natural materials. In the evening, we had a dance and performance party with the school children from Stara cerkev who are also staying here at CŠOD  Čebelica. Today was awesome but also very tIring, so we are more than ready for bed.
