Today, we had the honour of welcoming Mrs Tanja Fajon to our school to celebrate Traditional Slovenian Breakfast Day. The students fully embraced the experience, enjoying the delicious, locally sourced food while learning about the significance of this cherished tradition. It was a delightful morning, filled with laughter, learning, and the shared joy of celebrating Slovenian culture.

On Wednesday, 13 November, the finale of the EU quiz, part of the EPAS (European Parliament Ambassador School) project, took place at the EU House. Two teams from our school proudly qualified for the event: Podgane (Vitan, Brina O., and Nia) and SUM (Urban, Sara Lia, and Maksimilijan). The event was hosted by the renowned Slovenian actor and presenter Nik Škrlec and began at 2 pm. By 3 pm, the results were in – Podgane finished in 9th place, while SUM achieved an impressive 2nd place! Our school was exceptionally well-represented, and we couldn’t be prouder of all our participants. Special congratulations go to Urban, Sara, and Maks, whose fantastic performance has earned them the title of EU experts! You will be able to read more about the competition in the January edition of our school magazine, The Student Gossip. Once again – well done!

This weekend, the traditional Martin Regatta in the Optimist class took place in Izola, and our student Zoja once again demonstrated her determination and exceptional skills, establishing herself as one of the top young sailors. Out on the water, she showed remarkable dedication, finishing as the top girl in the competition. Congratulations to Zoja on this outstanding achievement! We are proud to follow her progress and look forward to many more winning moments ahead.

At the European School, we are dedicated to finding innovative ideas and insights to enhance our daily lessons, believing that fresh approaches can open new pathways for learning. In late September, teachers from the European School of Ljubljana travelled to Florence for an Erasmus+ training programme. Art teacher Nina Bric, music teacher Dawn Reindl, and preschool teacher Lucija Kremžar participated, each seeking creative methods to engage and inspire their students. Art teacher Nina Bric focused on learning through play, exploring educational games and "Game Jam" events that promote collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving. She discovered how to use game elements to motivate students to tackle challenges and acquire new skills. Music teacher Dawn Reindl attended a course centred on creative teaching techniques using visual aids and digital tools, such as quizzes and educational games. She gained new strategies for adapting lessons to various learning styles, encouraging students to express themselves in unique ways. Lucija Kremžar, a preschool teacher, took part in a yoga and meditation programme, learning activities that help children develop emotional stability, mindfulness, and self-awareness. She explored ways to incorporate these practices into everyday routines to support children’s inner balance. This experience equips us to enhance the learning process and provide our students with engaging, effective learning opportunities. We are eager to apply these insights to create an environment that fosters creativity, participation, and active learning. Enriched by our experiences in Florence, we are even more motivated to integrate fresh approaches into our daily work, creating a vibrant and stimulating atmosphere for our students.

Education is more than what happens within the four walls of a classroom—it’s life itself. With that in mind, the students of P1 and P2 set off on an outdoor learning adventure at Tivoli Park. Surrounded by the vibrant colors of autumn, they marveled at the graceful geese gliding across the tranquil pond, framed by the brilliant yellow, red, and orange leaves. The students became engineers and explorers as they dug through the sand, working together to shape channels and complete shared tasks. Not even the light rain could dampen their spirits; it only added to the magic of the day. Their muddy, wet, and sandy boots tell the whole story: Outdoor Learning is the best!
