4 PYP pupils took part in a cooking event which was co-organized by SPAR Slovenia and project Kuhnapato. This year's theme focused on preparing dishes from leftovers. Sometimes we cook too many potatoes or have old bread that nobody wants to eat.  What can we do? Prepare dumplings with butter bread crumbs. We also brought herbs from our school garden to make the sour cream sauce and we prepared tea from the school garden's mint. It was a great event – the students learned new skills and promoted the cooking of all leftovers, so nothing gets wasted. All in all, a very good day.

On 22 April, the MYP students commemorated Earth Day with the visit of Ms Dušica Kunaver. She is a famous Slovene researcher and writer of myths and legends.

She read the famous Slovene story Zlatorog to us, as well as the ideas that Slovene mythology has for humanity in connection to nature. The myths tell of truth in their messages: that nature will always have the final say and that no amount of human greed, power, science or any other human endeavour can know better than nature. A message we should really keep in mind these days. The students listened with interest and 45 min flew by in an instant.

On 15 April the MYP pupils helped with the school garden to commemorate Earth Day. They prepared the soil for planting the first seeds of the year. A lot had to be done and we were quite efficient.

Throughout the spring the students will be tending the gardens during the main breaks - what a great way to de-stress, connect to nature and acquire some new skills.

On Monday, April 15, 4M and other pupils who are part of the 23/24 cycling course, had a sports day connected with cycling skills. There were three mentors from the Pogi Team who prepared a variety of obstacle courses for the students, so they could demonstrate their knowledge of riding a bicycle under various conditions. Although some students were still struggling at the start of the day, I believe that each of them progressed during the practice and showed improvement by the end of the activities. We had a lovely sunny day full of new cycling experiences that will have a positive impact on our abilities, enabling us to become better cyclists. Yet we all know there is still a lot to learn! 

On Thursday 11 April, selected pupils joined the national department for a combined schools' running event held in Tivoli Park. The conditions were perfect for the competitors and all performed admirably for themselves and the school.

Congratulations to all.

On Tuesday, 9 April, 1M, 2M, 3M and 4M students had a cultural day. We went to see the concert “Musical Animal Kingdom” performed by the Slovenian Philharmonic Orchestra, conductor Mitja Dragolič, Harlekin ballet dance group, and actor Andrej Rozman Roza. How was it? I think the students say it best in their musical critiques.

The boys and girls performed and competed well against the Italians, Austrians, and the neighboring Lisa school. Both teams (girls and boys) recorded two wins and two losses, with one match ending in a draw. Thus, both the boys and girls secured fourth place in their respective categories. Congratulations!

On Wednesday, April 10, the MYP students went to the Bit Center for their sports day. They participated in organized activities such as squash, squash volleyball, badminton and others. connected to the current PHE unit. The pupils also experienced how sports can influence our wellbeing and mindfulness. 

On Friday 5 April, the 7M pupils had a two-pronged schedule, first travelling to the Medvode Hydroelectric Power Plant located on the River Sava, in the town of Medvode. At the run-of-the-river hydroelectric facility, the students were given a guided tour of the complex by the Manager, who explained how this type of energy is generated and its benefits while answering questions along the way. He also introduced and spoke about the solar power facility, also situated on the premises. The day culminated in a visit to the Jozef Stefan Institute – Reactor Centre. There, the pupils were guided through carbon friendly energy sources as well as information on nuclear energy. The pupils also got to test a geiger counter, and play interactive games involving making nuclear energy in a nuclear reactor.
