On Tuesday, October 15, 5M had a Science Day. They were making models of the Solar System using scales. They learnt how to use different scales and why they are important. The pupils realised that it is quite difficult to make a good model of the Solar System because of the large numbers involved and the big differences between the planets. They did their best. At the end, the students presented their models in the hallway.

On Monday morning, 14th October, we had a very nice activity with the French students who visited our school. They were teaching our kindergarten pupils some French expressions and a number rhyme.
On the evening of the 10th October a group of 30 French students from Challans came to visit our school, stay with our host families and learn about our school and our culture. On Friday they attended some lessons, had different workshops and got acquainted with Slovene culture. During the weekend they were with their families discovering Slovenia.

On Tuesday, 8th of October, 5M spent their UOI lesson in the sunny backyard. We did reading comprehension outside our classroom. The students enjoyed it because they had more privacy. We all agree that we should do this regularly.
