During the past year, the pupils of OŠ Milka Šobar – Nataše created graphics for a literary art competition, which was announced at the 240th anniversary of the first descent from Triglav in cooperation with Turizem Bohinj and Elemnentary School Janez Mencinger from Bohinjska Bistrica.

A professional commission led by the academic painter Črtomir Frelih examined all received works. The evaluation of the works took place in three different categories according the students age. We are proud that the two art pieces from our school won first place. Aleksej Brezar won in the second category, and the graphic artist Denis Maršič climbed to the very top of the third category. Sincere congratulations to both students!
The award-winning pupil has already received practical prizes, and their classmates will be rewarded as well, as the prize also includes a trip to Bohinj for the whole class.
The best art and literary works are published in a special publication.

On Thursday, 31 January 2019, the activities of the international video festival S-Factor started again at the Milka Šobar-Nataše Elementary School. This year, 10 Slovene and 5 foreign institutions for children and youth with special needs, will compete with their short music videos. This remarkable festival, unique in Slovenia and in the European area but similar to the S-Factor event in the UK, is organized by the Elementary school Milka Šobar – Nataše Črnomelj for the third year now. The purpose of S-Factor is to spread awareness of the abilities of children with special needs and adolescents through short musical videos in which pupils with special needs and their peers participate in the production of short videos in a way they best can.
On Thursday, 31 January 2019, an international group of mentors first visited the school and its premises and became acquainted with the activities and projects that take place at our school. S-Factor project mentor, Vlasta Lah, informed the participants about this year’s project and rules of this year’s festival. The mentors then participated at the workshop ‘How to make a good video’ under professional management of Tomislav Urh.

They learned how to film, record and install a short video. The Deputy Mayor of the Municipality of Črnomelj, Mr. Dubravko Čengija, also welcomed the participants.
How good our children are as actors, directors, singers, dancers, and more are, you will be able to see at the beginning of May, when videos will be accessible to the public on the web, where you will be also able to vote for your favourite.
Today we are showing you the video from Video S-Factor 2017 “Be Different” II.  Elementary school from Slovenj Gradec, which has more than 23,000 views online. All videos from previous years are also on display at the school web site.
The festival is part of the support activities for the benefit of persons with special needs of the Centre for professional assistance and support for children and youth with special needs and their families.
The investment is co-financed by the Republic of Slovenia and the European Union from the European Social Fund.

On Saturday, February 2, 2019, we combined comfort with convenience and opened the doors of Milka Šobar-Nataše Elementary School to the public. The Open Door Day was addressed to the greatest Slovene poet, Prešeren. During the day, the students were creative in various art, music and cooking workshop. The theme of love and expressing feelings is close to children and is shown in their works. The warm winter day only strengthened the longing for spring and all the beautiful things that it brings. We finished the day with a short cultural program. We thank the parents, neighbours and other school friends for their visit and support.
Among other things, we also opened the Play Attention Learning System, which was presented to the Mayor of the Municipality of Črnomelj, Mr. Andrej Kavšek, and the director of KZ Metlika, Tatjana Malešič. It is available at the Counselling Office.

On Friday, December 14th, 2018, teachers from our school and Elementary School Dragotin Kette from Novo mesto, visited the Gustavo Šiliha School in Maribor, more precisely the Expert Center COMP @ S.

The mentors presented the organization of their center for integration and support of children and adolescents, which is a part of a network of professional institutions offering support and guidance to children with special needs and their families. The organization is co-financed by the Republic of Slovenia and the European Union Social Fund.

In the Podravje region, a center of highly competent experts was established as a test project. With new solutions, strategies and methods of work, they offer comprehensive support for inclusive education to children with special needs, their families, kindergartens, schools and other institutions working with children or adolescents with special needs.

With great interest we observed their rich collection of didactic tools, which are also available for lend. We exchanged past experiences with the test project and finally invited colleagues from Podravje to visit Bela Krajina.

At the 26th St. Nicholas Concert, which is held every year by RTV Slovenia, Rotary Club Ljubljana and Rotary District 1912 Slovenia, our school was given a special gift.

The hosts of this year’s concert, actress Polona Juh and doctor Marko Pokorn, announced a wonderful news that the Rotary club Ljubljana and Rotary District 1912 Slovenia, in cooperation with the Postojna cave d. d., are rewarding our students with a free tour of the cave and the Predjama castle.

We thank you for the gift as our students are eagerly awaiting the trip to Postojna.
