Grade 6 students have been visiting the Retirement Home in Bežigrad this year as part of their Service as Action project. The Students and residents baked cookies and participated in sport activities. They had to think and communicate while playing various mental games board games and participating in a quiz. Before the Christmas holidays, they also made holiday decorations together. Both the pupils and the residents had fun and enjoyed each other's company and the project was a great success for the second year running.

Furthermore, pupils from grade 7 participated in a similar intergenerational service project with our international kindergarten that started this year. The students prepared some fun activities for the children such as dancing, board games, decorating cookies, a treasure hunt, puzzles, sport activities, origami, creating autumn booklets and sock puppets and more. The grade 7 students enjoyed teaching the younger pupils and they had fun learning from the older pupils. This project was also a great success and we hope to continue with it next year.

Today is the last day of Kavka and the 5M students are leaving. Most of the pupils are really happy because they miss their parents. In the morning, all of the students started packing all their things and made sure not to forget anything. After that, everyone had breakfast, today we had bread with butter and honey and for our drink we had milk. Then, we had 40 minutes of free time, everyone had fun and enjoyed it. Then we had an hour and a half to work on our PYPX, where I am writing this article. Later, we will go to Kobarid to have ice cream and then we will eat our packed lunch in Most na Soči . We will then continue the journey back to Ljubljana. Overall, Kavka was a fun experience for the students and teachers and all of us will miss it.

Last week grades 7I and 7M had their fila Theatre performances. They presented their own storytelling sessions. Each group chose a fable and portrayed it with sounds, animal noises, and an original theme song, which served as an introduction into the story. The audience were active participants through activities following the storytelling, as well as questioning regarding the morals of the story and what they would do in the place of the protagonists. 

Well done to all of the groups!

Today we did not go anywhere far away from dom Kavka but some students went on a morning run. After, we went outside to try archery, climbing and while we waited for our turn we played football. Then we were working on our speeches and all of us finished them. It was hard and challenging; however, I finished it. Everyone also presented their speeches and mostly all of us gave them very well. It was a very good lunch today we had good soup and for the main dish we got mashed potato and chicken. For dinner we had vegetable casserole, and for the sweet we got a mini cake and it was very tasty. After dinner, Kavka´s teachers prepared a fun activity for us. We were playing different games, the Slovenian school vs our School.

So today, everybody was really tired when they woke up, but after a little morning PE we were all energetic. Afterward we had breakfast, but many people were sad because they replaced the chocolate spread with jam croissants. Then, everyone filled up their backpacks with food and water, because we were going on a 2-hour hike to Italy! When we came back, everybody was tired, and lucky for us we had a break. After that we had lunch, and everyone said it was the best meal yet! After that, we worked on our PYP exhibition for 3 more hours, and when we finished, we had time with our phones. Then, we had dinner, which was also delicious. After that, we were playing board games in the dining room for an hour and a half, and by then, the only thing everybody wanted was to go to sleep. So we prepared for bed and went to sleep. I hope tomorrow will be as exciting as today!

Today, we woke up with a beautiful sunrise but nobody knew what weather we would have to go through. After we woke up everyone went to the dining room to have a peaceful breakfast. Surprisingly we had a full buffet with various food choices. My personal favourite was the bread with chocolate spread. After the breakfast, we were called into the blue room for Danile Kumar to continue with our PYPX and we thought it would be short and sweet, but we were wrong. We did the PYPX for 6 hours straight. Of course, we had 10-30 min breaks. Lunch was very loud but all the people in our class decided that it was THE BEST. After lunch, we did PYPX for 1 hour and we finally finished. After PYPX, we finally relaxed, freshened up, had dinner, and got ready for bed. I hope that everyone will sleep tight and stay tuned to our website to get updated on tomorrow. Bye-Bye :).

On Monday, 27 May, 5M embarked on a journey to the far west of Slovenia, and dom Kavka, amidst the lush green mountains and forests. On arrival, everyone prepared their beds, and were summoned to a meeting about the rules and regulations of the residence. Lunch was taken, then we delved into kavka cave, a slippery underground grotto, with interesting rock formations. After dinner, we hiked around the local area, and discussed biodiversity. Then we returned to our temporary home, showered and went to bed.

We spent the last day as a full group of pupils, teachers, and parents at the Cotswolds Waterpark. 

The students and those brave of heart suited up in wetsuits and declared war on an inflatable obstacle course. They had a brilliant time splashing around. Chapeau to those who refused to be skittish of the cold waters.

After an active morning, Mr Nathan lit up the grill and gave us a barbecue feast. Most host families joined us and our host pupils prepared lovely goodbye gifts for everyone. 

Tomorrow is a family day, so make sure you check on your children on the Padlet. 

Sunday morning we head to London, where we will see the most notable sights before heading off to the airport and back to Slovenia.

On Friday, May 24, selected students from the MYP department went to Velden am Wörthersee to participate in an international Beach Volley Tournament. The students displayed sportsmanship and showcased their volleyball skills on the courts. It was a successful event and we hope the pupils will cherish the experience, make new friendships, and maintain healthy lifestyles. Although the boys' team fell just short of the finals, one of our girls' teams finished second. Congratulations to all the participants!
