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.

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!

Grade 3 students had an orienteering sports day. They were inquiring into how they could orientate using different tools. They played the Minefield game and had a treasure Hunt.

On Friday 25 November the Kindergarten students presented their first UOI(Unit of Inquiry) to their parents. The children had worked really hard, creating a poster about their families. They described it to their parents and also recited a rhyme about a family. We are all very proud of them.

On Wednesday, 23^rd November, the school’s First Lego League competition team attended the Super Powered robot game training session at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Ljubljana.  The goal of the training session was to demonstrate the completed solutions produced by individual teams up to now, to collaborate with other teams by sharing ideas, to learn through the judges’ feedback and to have fun while assembling innovative robots and coding them. The students enjoyed it and didn’t want to leave at the end.

On 18 November we commemorated the day of Slovenian food and of the Slovenian traditional breakfast. For this reason all students in Slovenia received bread, butter, honey, Milk and an Apple. This event helps us increase awareness about local food for our health and the protection of local production and the environment. The students wolfed it down, nothing better than buttered bread!

On Friday 18^th November we went to visit The House of Experiments. After the bus ride to the city centre, we had a short stroll to reach our destination. Upon arrival friendly staff greeted us and we immediately went to explore. And in no time, it was our time to say goodbye and go back to school. 
Time really flies when you are having fun.

This weekend saw the 26th running (pun unintended) of the Ljubljana Marathon, with the Saturday devoted to shorter promotional races for younger athletes. The race distances were 600, 1350 and 1800 metres, for 1st and 2nd, 3rd to 5th, and 6th to 9th grades respectively. The keen runners braved the unpredictable weather conditions and all gave strong and determined performances to delight the assembled crowd, their very proud, happy parents, and the Headmistress too.

​On Wednesday October 12^th Kindergarten students visited the Ljubljana Zoo. They had a lot of fun observing lions, giraffes, tigers and even snakes. The most fun was had when the sealions were being fed. They were quite loud and funny. Since there was still some time left before the bus ride back to school, the teachers let the kids play in the playground, which was the best.
