In honor of Earth Day, our primary students spent some of the day celebrating pollinators and local flora. After a fascinating presentation from a local beekeeper, students created planters using recycled materials and replanted the seedlings that sprouted in the Erasmus diversity garden planters. Keep an eye on the playground fence—once the weather warms up, our planters will be moved outside, and our playground will be adorned with oxeye daisies, poppies, and other brilliant wildflowers. Hopefully, our efforts will pay off, and our garden will provide plenty of nourishment for our local pollinators. 

We are a family of 3 from Ljubljana who, as part of an Erasmus exchange, decided to host one of the children who were selected to visit Ljubljana together with their teachers and other children. We were waiting impatiently for Sunday, 17 March, when 11-year-old Thiago from Elba came to stay with us for a week.  Three weeks earlier, we had contacted him by video, seen him and his parents in person for the first time, exchanged a few words and said goodbye. And shortly after that, that Sunday arrived, when a bus full of children pulled into the school car park at around 7pm. The very first moment our guest stepped off the bus was special. He and our Lucas hugged each other and it was clear that we were in for a wonderful week full of new adventures. Thiago was a very warm and friendly boy from day one, with good habits and good manners. The only thing that might have worried us a little before his arrival was the language, as two of our family don't speak Italian and the third (in this case Lucas' father) left on a business trip shortly after Thiago's arrival for almost the whole visit. Well, even that fear disappeared pretty quickly, because we tried to be reciprocal and Thiago understood a little English. The week with Thiago was a wonderful experience for both Lucas and us, his parents. The mornings were spent at school and the afternoons were spent with the family and it really made each day special and unique. The week flew by, we all needed a little rest after Thiago left, but even now that Thiago is no longer with us, we still have some really good memories of a really special visit from Tuscany. As a family, after this nice experience, we decided to visit Thiago and his family in Elba at some point in the near future. And if we ever had the chance to host someone again, we would not hesitate to do it again. Čerček Škrinjar family

On Saturday, April 13, 2024, our COSSEA Student Council representatives, Nia and Rebeca from S6, visited the European School of Manosque, located in the heart of Provence. There, they attended a meeting with all the accredited European schools. During the meeting, they discussed current and important issues concerning each school and participated in new projects proposed by COSSEA. They also elected a new president. We are very proud of our two representatives, as they have shown the commitment and importance of the participation of the European School in Ljubljana. 

On Thursday, March 21, some of the older French students attended the Francophonie Celebration, where they bravely performed an excerpt from Eugene Ionesco's The Bald Soprano.

Does the size of an orange affect its weight? How much juice can one orange make? These are some of the provocations that guided our math activity in P1E as we explored mass, weight, and volume. The enthusiastic students inquired about the weight and volume of different citrus fruits. They utilized their knowledge and skills in measuring weight with the use of a scale, then measured the volume of the juice they had squeezed out in a measuring cup. The students displayed engagement and curiosity as they weighed, squeezed, measured, and wrote down the data.  They were able to conclude that the size of an orange is directly proportional to its weight and volume of juice. Of course, the best part for them was drinking all that delicious juice!
