3M – Architecture Design Workshop

On Tuesday, 12th February, 3M very happily accepted a gracious invitation from an architect to come to his office to learn more about architecture, as part of their current unit of inquiry about buildings. The architect gave a briefing about architecture, and invited questions from the students. Following this, there were some videos showing how architecture is born from nature, and a discussion, accompanied by a gallery, about the history of architecture going back to the very basics of house design, which are still prevalent in many parts of the world today. The pupils were then set a task, to design and plan their dream houses. There were many original, abstract and creative ideas including, many swimming pools, shops, and a Llama City. The students and teachers alike, had an extremely enriching and informative experience.
Thank you for a wonderful day!

MYP Winter Sports Day – Pokljuka

On Wednesday, 6th February, The MYP pupils had a winter Sports day in the mountainous Gorenjska region of northern Slovenia. Pokljuka, a world famous venue for Biathlon and cross country skiing, played host and served up a winter’s delight, consisting of sledging and, of course, the aforementioned skiing. The pupils and teachers alike reveled in the thrills and spills of sledging, and the grit, determination and skill, required to complete the cross country circuit, all set against the backdrop of a glorious sunlit landscape and an ocean blue sky. A new friend was also made with a long haired auburn dog named Ben. A wonderful winter’s day will be fondly remembered.

Chinese Day

In K2 on Tuesday, 5 February, two students celebrated the New Year and it was also one of the Chinese student’s birthday. We discussed about Chinese food and an idea came to try to eat lunch with chop sticks. The student’s mother brought us the chop sticks. At each table the Chinese student taught other students to hold the chop sticks. They were trying to learn how to eat it with them. Many students were successful and learnt it in a short time.
