World Scholar’s Cup
Five Danila Kumar International School students participated in the regional round of the World Scholar’s Cup competition, in Koper, during the weekend. The students had to show their knowledge on different topics and subjects connected to the main theme of the competition, this year being Reconstructing the Past. They had to display their excellent debating and writing skills, but the most important part of the competition was team-work and collaboration. The pupils achieved the following results: Maks, 6M, gained second place individually in the Scholar’s Challenge and Lalitha, 7M, gained seventh place individually in Collaborative Writing. Maks and Sonja, 7M, won a silver medal for debating and Eva, Lalitha and Eden, 7M won the gold medal in debating. The students had fun and we are very proud of them.

Today is Earth Day. A day set up over 50 years ago to help raise awareness about the health and welfare of planet Earth. There are many things we can do, both collectively and individuals, to protect and sustain the planet so it can stay alive and thrive in the years to come, and to the benefit of every living thing that calls the planet home.

Alpe Adria Soccer Tournament
Some of our students participated in the Alpe Adria soccer tournament in Udine, Italy. We had one girls team and two boys teams. The matches were very competitive, but played following the principles of sportsmanship. Along with the photos below, you can also click here for some more action from the tournament.

Kuhnapato
On 19 April between 10:00 and 12:00 noon, four students from 5m cooked buckwheat and asparagus risotto in the City Park Spar.
The event was organised by the renowned cooking project Kuhnapato, which aims to promote cooking skills among the young and show how to prepare local and seasonal dishes which are best for the body and the environment.
The event also commemorates the official day of food zero-waste cooking (24 April).
The students created an excellent dish (the visitors to the stall munched it up!) and learnt a lot about the challenges of chefs and teamwork in restaurants.
All in all, well done!
