As part of the National Month of Shared Reading campaign, students of the PYP spent a lesson outside reading under the treetops. Reading in the fresh air has a positive effect on the development and formation of a healthy lifestyle and skills, quality leisure time, the formation of a creative personality and a positive attitude towards reading and the students enjoyed it a lot. Afterwards, they reflected on their learner profiles and discovered they were balanced, inquirers, thinkers, caring, communicators, principled, knowledgeable and risk-takers. We encourage both the parents and the students to spend the remaining sunny days enjoying a good book in nature.

As part of the Council of Europe’s initiative, the European Day of Languages has been celebrated every year since 2001, on 26 September – together with the European Commission. On Tuesday, 27 September, during their Slovenian lesson, all MYP students enjoyed a joint lesson in honour of the European Day of Languages. The students competed in a quiz in which they had to identify a language. They also translated some school language into the various languages our MYP community speaks. Lastly, they were trying to pronounce some international tongue twisting sentences.

The PYP had 2 hiking trips: 1 and 2 ascended Rožnik, while 3,4 and 5 visited Rašnica. It was a perfect early autumn day for a hike with cool temperatures, a light breeze, warm sun, and tranquil blue skies.

8M/I climbed Velika Planina, the weather was wonderful. All in all, despite some small challenges, it was a very good day.
