For the second consecutive year, our school has been organizing an international project Video S-Factor, joining 13 Slovene and 6 foreign schools and institutions for children with special needs.
We would like you to cooperate and support our project by watching the videos and voting for the best video in both categories, the best Slovene and the best international video.
Voting will take place until noon on Tuesday, 16th May 2017.
On Tuesday, 25th April 2017, the school hosted a marathon of events associated with the book, stories and reading.
8th and 9th grade students visited Karlovac, a town in Croatia, where we, with our partner school COODM Karlovac, and the project Branje ne pozna meja/Čitanje ne poznaje granice, brought this international reading project to its end. Throughout the school year the students got to know the works of Slovenian and Croatian authors. We were warmly welcomed and was ask to participated in interactive workshops on Slovenian picture books. Instructive and interesting was the visit of the City Library in Karlovac. We finished the day with a walk along the river Korana and Aquatiki aquarium.
Afternoon activities at school for other students started early in the afternoon. First the students prepared rooms in which they will be sleeping, and then they visited the General Library of Črnomelj and participated in the dinner preparation. In the reading and creative part of the day, we read and talked about Martin Krpan story with visitors, who also took part in three different workshops (creative art, multi-sensory listening and reading room). In the evening students acted out a short story and listened to an interview with a singer of folk music Urško Klobučar, hosted by Ajda Skrbinšek.
On this occasion, 13 students spent the night at the school. Hopefully they dreamt about the wonderful events of the day, after they read a page or two from their favorite book.
On Friday, 21st April, a charity concert “Let’s Come Together for Children of Bela Krajina Special Needs Kindergarten Department.” In the crowded hall of the Cultural Center Črnomelj, the crowd enjoyed in the program held by various Bela krajina kindergartens. The pleasant atmosphere was created with the help from the school’s choir singers with the song Cat on the Piano.
In the school year 2016/2017 we are participating, with students and librarian Mass Luteršmit from Elementary School Ljuba Šercerja in Kočevje, in a school project I’m reading, the two of us are reading, we’re reading. The project aim is to raise literacy. The students are corresponding by sending a letter four times a year, with a story, a picture, a song etc., which bring joy to the students of each class.
On Wednesday, 12th April 2017, our 8th and 9th class student were visiting Kočevje to complete the project. We were hospitably greeted and welcomed at the school gym. After the headmistress Mrs. Jožica Pečnik speech, the project manager, Maša Luteršmit, summed up the projects activities. She joined the best moments in a short video, which was followed by an instrumental play.
After we were pleased to meet and socialize in the school library, where we also prepared a short programme for them. We have proven that stories and songs bring people together. We believe this is also true for letters – when a postal worker delivers a letter, not to anyone, but exactly for you.
Students and teachers from our school are happy to respond to this charity campaign Give a book that you do not need, organized by kindergarten Črnomelj. We have collected 75 picture books, fairy tales and stories for children. The collected books were handed over to the representative of the kindergarten, Simoni Štrucelj. As thanks to our students, the kindergarten teachers prepared a nice play after a story Mojca Pokrajculja. We have enjoyed it very much and applauded loudly.
