On 12 June, the kindergarten went to the Natural History Museum. The visit began with a guided tour with a knowledgeable guide who introduced us to the fascinating world of ocean animals. We marvelled at the massive whale skeleton suspended from the ceiling. We were also given the opportunity to touch and feel some of the exhibits. After the guided tour, we were given the freedom to explore the museum on our own. We were particularly captivated by the birds, a bear and a wolf. The trip was an interesting experience that sparked our curiosity and enthusiasm for learning.

On 11 June, the 7M and 7I pupils had a cultural day at the cinema. The day began in school where they participated in two workshops. During the first lesson they were inquiring into various aspects of Irish mythology. The second lesson was dedicated to storytelling through film and the students created their own storyboards for possible films based on Irish mythology. Both workshops prepared them for the film Song of the Sea, a Celtic tail about selkies and other characters borne of Irish mythology. Most of the pupils gave the film a 4/5 rating as they found the story, animation and music captivating.

After a good night's sleep, we packed our bags and tidied our rooms. The morning sun shone brightly as we set out on our adventire. Our first activity was a treasure hunt. We searched high and low, our eyes scanning the landscape for any sign of the hidden treasure. Finally, we stumbled upon a chest of bee stamps which we stamped on our hands. Before lunch we played at the playground in front of the house, engaging in a variety of activities. Some of us played football, while others enjoyed a game of ping pong. We also drew pictures with chalk on the ground and skipped over a rope. After lunch, we boarded the bus and were on our way home. We were happy to see our families again, but we knew that we would never forget this trip.

After. A hearty breakfast, we ventured into the forest, where we collected branches for the fire. Once we had our wood, we constructed the fire. Then we placed the bread on the fire. The delicious bread, the warmth of the fire and the joy of being with friends created a very special moment.

Later we tried our artistic skills and were given a really unique opportunity to paint on beehive panels.

In the afternoon we took a break from our artistic endeavors and we rode scooters through obstacle courses.

In the evening we enjoyed a pyjama party with disco lights and dancing.

When it was time for bed we all fell asleep quickly, our dreams filled with the visions of the day.

On May 5, we embarked on an unforgettable journey to explore the historic town of Škofja Loka and delve into the wonders of the Slovenian Alpine Museum. Our Science Day excursion was a resounding success, offering students a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in Slovenia's rich mountaineering history while nurturing their research skills.

Throughout the day, the pupils actively engaged with their surroundings, asking insightful questions and keenly observing their surroundings. By delving into the depths of Škofja Loka and the museum, the students gathered valuable information.

Our Science Day was a celebration of curiosity, exploration, and learning. We look forward to future adventures that will continue to expand our horizons and deepen our understanding of the world around us.

On Saturday, June 1, our DKIS community came together to celebrate International Day at Camp Menina, a vibrant and joyous event that highlighted the rich cultural diversity within our school. The day was filled with colorful displays, performances and activities that showcased the unique traditions and heritage of our students and their families.

The celebration was a resounding success, thanks to the enthusiastic participation of our students, the unwavering support of our parents, and the dedication of our teachers. Together, they created an unforgettable experience that brought our community closer and fostered a deeper appreciation for the diverse backgrounds that make DKIS so special.

A special mention goes to our wonderful Parent-Teacher Association, whose hard work and planning were instrumental in organising the event. We are particularly grateful to the PTA Chair, Mrs Lake, whose leadership and commitment were the key in making the day a success.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to making International Day a memorable occasion. We look forward to many more events that celebrate the unity and diversity of our DKIS community.

We arrived at CŠOD Čebelica eager to start our adventure. After settling in, we took a break to enjoy a snack and recharge. The playground was next, we had a blast playing together.

After lunch we ventured into the forest, where we built houses out of sticks. As we explored the meadow, we observed and discovered all sorts of fascinating things, from tiny insects to colourful flowers.

By the end of the day we were all exhausted but exhilareted by the experiences we had shared.

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.
