On September 13^th, 2018, our students and teachers went on a train ride. At the Črnomelj railway station, they bought the tickets and were eagerly awaiting the train to Metlika. The train ride was especially interesting for younger pupils. As they arrived in Metlika, they walked towards the Bela Krajina Museum and the Slovenian Fire Fighting Museum. In the Bela krajina Museum, the students walked around the museum with the guides and watched a video on the history of Bela Krajina. Some students recognized old objects and pictures found near their homes, which was very interesting to them. The time spent in the museum went very fast, therefore they could only enter the Fire Fighting museum for a short time. There, the students could see firefighting equipment that was used in the past.  The students, who could focus and listen, got an insight of the life in their ancestors’ lives.

Milka Šobar – Nataše primary school is successful in another international project. This time, we attented Erasmus +, Mix`Abilities, for a 10-day exchange to Gailac city in France.

Early this morning, Tuesday, June 20, 2017, students Jaka, Ana, Ajda, Katarina and former student Izidor went with a van to Venice, where we departed from Marco Polo Airport to Toulouse, in the south of France. Our hearts were full of excitement, because for most participants it was the first flight by plane. After a flight in sunny weather over the Mediterranean coast and a soft landing in Toulouse, we sat on the train and rushed towards the city of Gailac. The members of the visiting Solafrika organization drove us to a house that will be our home in the up-coming 10 days.

With the help of the mentors, Darinka Jerman, Katarina Konda and Dijana Brinac, they looked for the recipe, made their own noodles, cooked the soup and finally ate it to. It is their turn to convince others to try and make it as well.  Our students will also pick a foreign recipe and try to cook something new.

The last day of this school’s year, June 23, 2017, started with a cultural program that was cheerful and summer-coloured. It was an introduction to careless holiday days. Dancers, singers, school musicians and reciter performed and charmed us.

On Wednesday, June 14, 2017, the students participated at the Police Station Črnomelj open door. We gathered in front of the school and heeded towards the station on foot.

We witnesses a demonstration of police in action, chasing a fugitive with a trained police dog. The kind police officers also showed us interrogation rooms, police vehicles, weapons and basic forensic work. The guide dog explained us how the practical training of a police dog is done and how a search action is conducted.

It was a day to remember. We are grateful to the police officers for the invitation and presentations.
