Category Collapsed Days & Trips

On Monday, April 15, 2024, the 4M pupils and others that are part of this year’s cycling course will have a sports day connected to cycling skills. This means they need to come to school as usual, and we will start the sports day at 08:30 on facilities in the nearby vicinity. The instructors will prepare two obstacle courses and four stations where all will be able to test their skills and develop proper safe cycling techniques. Snack will be provided as usual from 10:10 until 10:30 in the dining room. We will finish the activities at 12:00. Lunch and afternoon program will follow.

The pupils who are yet to bring their bicycles to school need to bring one along with a helmet and a positive attitude. We have five bicycles and a few helmets that you can borrow from school.

During the activities, I will be assessing the student’s skills and proficiency. If they pass, they will be able to move on with our yearly course and test themselves in traffic in the upcoming weeks in our weekly Thursday lessons.

Kind regards,

The pupils will take their snack and head towards the bus (Tuš carpark). The main goal of this science day is to become acquainted with energy sources, energy conversions, efficiency, and practical solutions for converting energy sources into electrical energy. The students will visit the hydro-power plant in Medvode. We will see a solar power plant and a hydro power plant in action. After the visit in Medvode there will be time for snack. Next on the agenda will be the TRIGO Nuclear reactor at Brinje, near Ljubljana. There we will have a presentation about Low carbon energy sources and climate change, a workshop about radioactivity and nuclear decay, and see an interactive exhibition about nuclear technology and energy.

The students need to be dressed and equipped according to the weather conditions on that day. They also need a small backpack, a pencil case and a small bottle of water. During the field trip the pupils will not be allowed to use their smart phones (it is best if they leave them at home). If your child will be excused from the field trip please inform the homeroom teacher in advance.

The return to school will be at around 13:30.

On Tuesday, 9 April, grades 1M to 4M are going to see a symphony orchestra matinee at Cankarjev dom. The concert will be performed by The Slovenian Philharmonic Orchestra, the dance group Harlekin and the narrator and actor Andrej Rozman Roza. With music, movement and most importantly, specific orchestra instruments they will present different animals which inspired composers in the 19th and 20th centuries. As this is a classical music event at a cultural institution, the students should dress nicely for the occasion.

07:50 – gathering at school and picking up school snack

08:00 – leaving school for Cankarjev dom by bus
