Adapting to Slovenia

The 6m students have successfully completed their first unit at Language and literature. They learnt about how people adapt to new cultures and whether it is better to adapt or stick with your own culture and traditions. For their summative assessment, they had to write a blog post or a leaflet that would provide tips for students new to our school and Slovenia. You are welcome to read their blog posts (Alina, Din, Gala, Iuliana, Kaja, Mishel, Princesa, Stefi) while their leaflets are posted on our school walls.

PYP Sports Day – GIB Sports Centre

The GIB Sports Centre, located in Šiška, played host to the PYP students today to give them a chance to try themselves in various sports. They tested their throwing techniques in Judo, jumping prowess on the trampoline, balance, strength and skill in gymnastics, and agility in ball games. Thanks to the guys at GIB for an energising and fun day out.

 

Kindergarten Cultural Day

On Friday 2 December our kindergarten students visited “Kinoteka” where they saw eight animated movies. We heard a lot of laughing in the dark, so we know they enjoyed the films immensely. It was also nice on the bus ride there and back as they were observing Christmas trees in front of different buildings.

Year 8 Shakespearian Sonnet Recital Morning

The Curtains were drawn, the stage was set (metaphorically speaking) for the long awaited recitations at Year 8’s Shakespearian Sonnet Recital Morning. After an arduous month of wrestling with rhyme scheme, metaphor, and Iambic pentameter, to name but a few, the students braved their nerves to deliver the lines they had painstakingly prepared for the Unit on Shakespeare, and of course, the highly emotive subject of love. We were taken on wonderous trains to the ocean, experienced the changeable bliss of the seasons, learnt of family love, the affection for one’s city, and the thrill, danger and loss of Formula one. Amongst the impassioned highs and lows, I’m sure even Shakespeare himself would have been moved by the aesthetic & technical perfection of the sonnets, as, indeed, were the students’ teachers, Headmaster, and all in attendance. 
Bravo!
