Mixing Modern and Traditional

 

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.

Advent Workshops

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.
