On Friday, the 23rd of December 2016, the school got an unexpected visit from Father Christmas.

The was a special letter waiting for us at the school’s hall, sent by Father Christmas. In the letter he scorned the students a bit, telling them to behave nicer and he also congratulated the teacher for their exceptional work. Later the students and teacher played some competitive games.

Father Christmas also brought letters and cards from students of Elementary School Ljuba Šercer in Kočevje and he gave away ‘sweet’ presents to all the students. In return the students sang some Christmas songs. The head teacher, Mr Matjaž Barič, warned the student of the dangers in using pyrotechnic devices and wished them all a happy new year.

We then danced some more, talked and finally said goodbye wishing everybody happy holidays.

The Municipal Event at the Independence and Unity Day

On Thursday, 22nd December 2016, Elementary School Milke Šabar-Nataše and Junior High School Črnomelj prepared together an event which took place at the Culture Home in Črnomelj. After the welcoming speech by the head teacher of Junior High School, Mrs Elizabeta Prus, and the honorable speaker, Mr Samer Khalil, followed a rich cultural program in which 20 of our students participated with singing, reciting and acting.

The cooperation with the high school presented a challenge but also turned out a great experience with very positive feelings and beautiful thoughts, which we have shared with the students in this holiday time. Not only in combining modern with traditional, but also with values such as courtesy, attention, patience, we interweaved our cooperation and demonstrated we are mature members of society. Successful cooperation and execution of the event, presented our students and their mentors a priceless pre-holiday gift.

On Friday, 25th of November 2016, the students of  Milka Šobar- Nataše were making advent wreaths and  other decorative items for the holiday season.

To make advent wreaths we needed a variety of natural materials brought and collected by students and teachers. For further decoration we used some items made of synthetic materials. During the workshop the students showed their aesthetic and creative skills. Their work resulted in wonderful craft products that will decorate their homes as well as the school nicely.

Thanks to the students that brought the material and a special thanks to Janez, our caretaker, for circles made of cardboard, which we need for making of wreaths.
