Today, robots can clean, dance, socialize, assemble, imitate, and much more. While they are becoming increasingly human-like, they are still far from replacing us. How do robots work, and how are they developed? These questions can be explored through mechanics,…
On October 10th, our kindergarten had an unforgettable Sports Day!
The adventure began with a train ride to Trzin, which was thrilling for the kids, followed by a van journey to Dobeno.
At the forest kindergarten - "Gozdni svet", the children enjoyed a day filled with exploration and play on the forest playground.
They engaged in hands-on activities using hammers, saws, and shovels, participated in a scavenger hunt, and even made a bonfire to grill delicious hot dogs.
The entire day was a blast, filled with laughter and learning in nature!
On Friday 4 October, the 2M students had a cultural day dedicated to social skills, communication and building a positive class climate. Here are some phots of the day.
The students first had a chance to get up close and touch a snake, a rabbit, and a stick insect in the Tropical House. They reviewed the concepts of who's the prey and who's the predator, the typical features of these animals, and the connections between the animals and plants. Later, they viewed chinchillas, tortoises, spiders, frogs, monkeys, snakes, and other exotic animals. They also entered the room with lemurs and observed the environment where they lived. We had a great day enjoying the company of tropical animals and their living environments.
On 2 October, the MYP Cultural Day enabled students to try out different art forms. They printed napkins, painted aprons, tried food pop art painting and worked with clay. They also researched world and Slovenian cuisine, created posters, and illustrated their favourite recipes.
A rainy day played host to our annual Language Acquisition day on 26th September, when we celebrate the European Day of Languages. Nevertheless, we refused to let the weather rain on our parade and embarked on a scavenger hunt enthusiastically, . Multilingual clues sent each group on a hunt for famous Ljubljana monuments and gave them interesting tasks to perform. The day ended at Ljubljana Castle, where inhabitants of varying historical periods from Ljubljana's history, took us on a journey through time with an interactive tour of the castle.
Wir somos veldig zadovoljni with comment der dia turned out å være!

The 1M students were invited to a big celebration of travelling safely, as part of European Mobility Week, at the main Police Depot of the Slovene Police Force. The police band, the fire brigade, Ribič Pepe, who sang, danced and drew, keeping everyone entertained, and the Mayor of Ljubljana were also there to welcome the little troopers, from many of Ljubljana's schools. The students felt what it would be like on the frontline when sitting on police bikes, in the driver's seat of a police van, and wearing protective shields, while also saying hello to some very friendly police horses, finding out about putting out fires, and, most important of all, learning how to get safely to and from school.
On your marks! Get set! Go! The 60 metre sprint tests your speed and acceleration. The high jump allows you to assess your leg strength and technique, raising the bar yet again! While the long jump also requires leg power as well as speed. The vortex measures the upper body's vigour and skill, and to conclude, the 600 metres shows you how much endurance you have. How much has the MYP got?
On 17 September, the 3M students went to visit different public services in Ljubljana: the fire department, police, ambulance and traffic security services, which keep the city safe, healthy and organized. We also watched a small concert by the Jože Potrebuješ (Čuki band) and Ribič Pepe. It was interesting, educational and it promoted the ideas behind the week of (sustainable) mobility.
Sustainable mobility is one of the key factors in preserving our planet.

Library under the Treetops is a Slovenian project which has already been a fixture in the school calendar for 20 years. You may find reading islands all over Slovenia, which encourage everyone to grab a book and dive in. Our school also participates in the project as it combines reading, which is fun and educational, and time outside, which can be relaxing and good for our health; the PYP and MYP students, therefore, spent some of their language lessons reading outside this month. In their reflections, the students noted that the activity was beneficial for the aforementioned reasons, , it’s a different and unusual kind of lesson, and they like the environment and the fresh air. We encourage the entire school community to participate in the project as well and spend some time reading outside, while the sun is still shining.
