As is the case every year, the time had come again for the annual MYP Winter Sports Day, this year being split between Krvavec, for the skiers and snowboarders, and Jezersko, for those who decided to try other seasonal activities. The Krvavec crew ascended the freshly snow swept mountain aboard the gondola to find a blanket of moderate fog. The visibility remained fair though, as the students were eager to immerse themselves in the fresh snowfall and showcase their piste prowess. Many ascents were made on the chair lifts, the students keen to make the most of the time they had deftly descending the spacious well-groomed Krvavec runs, with some also flexing their freestyle frolics in the snowpark.

On 28 February, the students from 3, 4 and 5M entered the world of bees, upon traveling to Brdo, in the Lukovica area, where the Slovenian Beekeepers’ Association is situated. The multi tiered itinerary consisted of, firstly, a presentation about how bees produce honey, which produced a very enthusiastic and lively question and answer session. Then the students donned beekeeping hats and visited the association’s apiarys, being warned to be quiet, as during the winter months the bees sleep. On the menu next was pollen tasting, along with a rich selection of five different types of honey. Block stamp making completed the day’s activities, the pupils designing their own mementos to remind them of their time learning about bees and honey.
