With first graders, we read a story about Easter bunny. After the story, they decorated Easter eggs with the outdoor material.

First graders expanded their vocabulary with addition of body parts, learned song Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes, outlined pupil's silhouette on a paper and coloured it. They all had so much fun!

Our geography teacher is Mr Ernest Pirnat. He has got a farm with cows and other animals. Every day, he drives one hour to school. I like him because he makes us laugh every hour we spend with him. He likes to travel around the world and he spends a lot of time telling us stories about his adventures.

o When and where were you born?

I was born in 1947. For the first four years of my life, me and my family lived in a school where my mother worked, in Zalog. Later we moved to Ljubljana, where our grandmother used to live with us.

o Can you describe what life looked like then?

I can't say that life was harder or easier, because it was different. In those times you couldn't get every single food you wanted from stores so we were less picky. We were lucky to have a radio but we didn't have a television, so we used to read newspapers every day. My mother worked as a teacher, and my father worked as a teacher of the deaf, so their working hours weren't much different from today.

o What was school like?

The primary school which I went to, was in places where Gymnasium Bežigrad is now so I had a 20 minute-walk to school. After primary school, I went to Gymnasium Bežigrad. I think that in my childhood teachers had bigger authority and kids weren't as cheeky as they are now.

o Do you have any special memories of your childhood?

Yes, a lot of them. I remember that every New Year's Eve, my dad used to play the violin because we didn't have a television. Everybody used to sing along. I also remember that we sometimes used to make dough for bread at home, and in the morning, we took it to the bakery so they could bake it for us.

o Do you think children were happier in the past?

I think mostly yes, but in a different way. I remember some families were really poor and those kids had a harder life, but they still used to play a lot more. We used to play all the time, and every single child from our street came to play. Špela

I interviewed my grandma Alenka Primožič. We talked about her childhood.

Interview with my grandma

o Where were you born?

I was born in small village Vnanje Gorice near Ljubljana in 1951.

o What was life like for you in those days? I had two brothers and one sister. Even though we didn’t have a lot of money we were really happy and we had a good relationship as family. I remember how we sing in the evenings and how my brothers played guitar and accordion.

o What’s your most vivid childhood memory?

My most vivid memory I think is in the winter when I and my siblings went on our neighbors’ hill and me and my sister where sledding, our brothers built a ski jump and they let as try to jump few times, but we weren’t very successful.

o What do you particularly remember about that time?

I remember helping my mother on the field. We also had a cow, goats, sheep, pigs, hens and geese. But not all at the same time. One of geese was so friendly and she acted like our pet, mom even let her sleep with as children.

o Do you think children were happier when you were young?

Yes, I think even though the families where bigger and we lived simpler lives we were able to live happy. We told each other stories and we played a lot of kinds of games with kids from the whole village.

Interview with my grandma

• Where you were born?

I was born in Ljubljana Maternity Hospital.

• Do you remember any special moment from your childhood days?

One Monday morning, when I was 6 years old, I came in the kindergarten and all the teachers were crying, because the president of Yugoslavia Tito died.

• What was life in Ljubljana in your childhood days like?

I grew up in the socialism, when people were happy and were smiling all the time. Life was peaceful, neighbours helped each other, there was not so much jealousy as it is today. Everyone had a job. Doctors took a lot of their time for patients, because people were not just numbers. People gathered more, on union’s parties and at fetes.

• Did you have a good time in primary school?

No, because I couldn’t sit still and I didn’t have focus on the teacher’s explanation, I had a few learning problems. But I had good relationships with my schoolmates. A few of them are still my friends.

• What did you do in your free time when you were in primary school?

We played a lot outside. We played football, basketball, a game called “Indians and Cowboys” and rode bicycles. There were no mobile phones, no internet, no computer games, … Only rich families could afford one of the first computers called Spectrum or Atari. There were only two TV programmes. The first TVs only produced black and white colour. On the TV we watched a lot of films about partisans. But when there was CIK CAK commercial (bunnies brushed their teeth), we had to go to sleep. That was about 7:30 pm. Nik

The book Zrakzazajtrktalks about losing weight. The main character is Serafina. She thinks she’s fat but actually she’s tiny. In the end of the book Serafina ended in hospital because she weighed only 37 kilos.

I think the book is very interesting. I recommend you read it.

The book LeonStrah mojemladostiis very instructive, interesting and it will keep your attention. Once you read it, you will want to read it again. I really recommend this book to you.

I liked one Turkish TV series the most. The Youknockonmydoor . It is so interesting and exciting. I watched it for a year and a half.

It Ends with Us

A story of love, heartache, betrayal and personal decisions, It Ends with Us follows a young woman named Lily. When Lily meets Ryle, a successful surgeon, she thinks that her dreams have come true. In a life far away from her small-town upbringing, Lily knows the tides have changed in her favour. However, Lily soon discovers that Ryle isn’t the perfect man. Despite the fact that Ryle is charming and clever, he has a difficult time with relationships. This unsettles Lily and she find out that her thoughts are occupied by her old love, Atlas. When Lily gets the chance to reconnect with Atlas, her new life with Ryle is under threat. Lily’s experiences are very connective and relatable. Lily’s life is a solid representation of many women’s right now, in the past and in the future.

ItEndswithUs is a damaged love story. There is so much heartache to experience in this one! Hoover seems to excel in this department as this umbrella theme underpins the whole novel’s narrative direction. Hoover explores the tussle in the love stakes with the two male leads, Ryle and Atlas well. This perceptive writer also delves into Lily’s world, giving us a good insight into this woman’s emotional pain, conflicting emotions and fluctuating feelings. A novel with a vital underlying message accompanying themes of power, choice, depth, personal strength and emotional sway, It EndswithUsis a universal feel novel that will easily find a way into your heart.

PERSONAL NOTE:

The book is worth reading even if you don't like romance type of books. It really shows you how growing up in an abusive household is and the consequences that come with it.

The Fault in Our Stars

TheFaultinOurStarsis a novel written by John Green in 2012. It is a story about 16-year old Hazel Grace who has an uncurable form of thyroid cancer. She has very loving and caring parents who are also very protective. Hazel is almost always inside reading her favourite novel, talking about cancer, An Imperial Affliction written by Peter Van Houten. Because of this, her parents worry that she is depressed, so they make her go to a support group, held in the basement of her local church. One day when there, she meets Augustus Waters, who she falls in love with immediately. Augustus, also referred to as Gus, is a cancer free 17-year old who had his leg amputated because of cancer. After being close for a couple of weeks, Augustus suggests him and Hazel go to Amsterdam, to visit Peter Van Houten, because this is Hazel's biggest wish. After some planning the trip becomes a reality.

I really liked the book, because it showed the realistic side of the world. It showed that the world is not a wish granting factory and that it can be very cruel and unforgiving. The book altogether was very sad and emotional but also showing the real world of cancer patients. It didn't end happily with everyone healthy, happy and together, but rather one dead, the other one lonely and sad, and everyone else, not knowing what to say. I also found it interesting that the book TheFaultinOurStarstalks about a girl with cancer who liked a book that talks about a girl with cancer. I strongly recommend this book to anyone wanting an interesting reading in their free time, because it really is an eye-opening experience giving insight into the world as not all sunshine and rainbows.

Moving to another school can sometimes be very stressful. But new students are always welcome at our school. Here’s some advice from our students:

This school is very big but with the help of the teachers and the students here you won’t get lost. If you need help for homework, ask your teachers or classmates. You’ll be O.K. and I think you’ll make lots of friends here.

At our school there’s lots of fun. You can’t get lost because it’s not very big. You will find a lot of new friends. You have to be very nice to the teachers for them to be calm. I welcome you with all my heart,

Hello! Welcome to our school. We have our own lockers and you’ll like that for sure. Although in my opinion the food is not the best, you will never be hungry. If you ask me, this school is better than my previous one.

If you can’t remember the numbers on each classroom, you should stick with your classmates, because even if the school is small, there are quite a lot of classrooms.

Our school is probably very big. Maybe you’ll get lost but don’t worry. The students are friendly, they’ll help you. Although some students can be problematic. So, the teachers sometimes get crazy… Just be like an angel and everything will be fine.

Weekend in Ljubljana

Hi, today I’m going to tell you something about my home city, Ljubljana.

You can get around Ljubljana by bus. Many people take a bus to the city centre and back. It’s easier than going by car because it usually takes less time and you don’t have to search for a parking lot. In the city centre you can go shopping, go to a museum or a gallery, have something to eat or just admire the city. In the city you are never bored. I like Ljubljana especially in December, because there are many Christmas lights, and many, many other things. It’s really magical.

20 | Froggy

If you want to go for a walk, there are many parks in Ljubljana, where you can do that, like the Tivoli Park. The Tivoli Park is known as the most beautiful park, and it is only 10 minutes away from city centre, so you can walk there. There are many statues and several fountains and often there is a photo exhibition. And on the top of the hill in Tivoli, there is a café where you can relax and drink some juice and eat ice cream.

But if you prefer history over walking, you are in the right place. You can go to the Archaeological Park Emona House or the City Museum where you can learn many things about the Romans. There is also a statue of the citizen of Emona in the National Museum of Slovenia and a copy of the statue in the park Zvezda.

There is also a castle in Ljubljana, the Ljubljana castle. There are many events that you can attend at the castle. You can also just walk around and inside the castle. There is also a great restaurant with delicious food where you can have a meal.

And if you like animals, you can visit the zoo. There are many animals that you can see. You can also play with some animals. There is also a café where you can be and a playground.

You can also visit many other beautiful places, like the Botanic Garden or the Skyscraper. So, I hope you learned something new about Ljubljana.

Lake Bohinj is bigger than Lake Bled but isn't as well known among tourists. This enables you to enjoy the nature and avoid the huge groups of tourists roaming around Bled. The path around the lake is 12km long and takes you through the forest. After you're finished, I would recommend having a coffee or a hot chocolate at Hotel Bohinj, a nicely renovated hotel with a view of the lake. While in the area during wintertime, you might enjoy skiing on the nearby mountain Vogel. During summertime you can swim in the lake or paraglide off one of the surrounding mountains.

22 | Froggy

Novo mesto is the 7th largest city in Slovenia. It was built on the banks of the Krka River and used to be surrounded by a defensive wall, the remains of which are still visible today. While taking a stroll in the nearby forests or having a coffee in the renovated Main square, you will experience Novo mesto as a charming small town. Lately, two new bridges are being built which will connect the forests to the city centre.

While not being the biggest in the country, Celje is certainly one of the most interesting cities in Slovenia. No matter if you’re into science or not, I would recommend visiting the Tehno park Celje, possibly the most interesting technology park in Slovenia. Among other things you can visit the Main square, the city castle or the outskirts of the city, home to a unique tree house. When you’re done with the sightseeing, I would recommend a great Japanese restaurant called Otoki. Wherever you go, Slovenia is a diverse country with a rich history and many breathtaking natural sights.

Are you a superstitious person?

Here’s what our students told us…

In my culture there are many superstitions, but I wouldn’t say I believe in all of them. Some of them are small; for example: If your nose always itches, someone is thinking about you. If you have the hiccups someone is talking about you behind your back. But there is one superstition in my family, that if you don’t take a shot of homemade Rakija on New Year’s, you will get sick throughout the year. That’s more of a tradition than a superstition though. All though I do catch myself knocking on wood (meant to banish evil and/or negativity) and crossing myself when there’s a certain topic or if something bad has happened. I would say it depends on the person if they are superstitious or not and how they were raised into it plays a big role too.

Friday 13th is one of the most known superstitions. People think that Friday 13th is an unlucky day and something bad will happen to them on that day. I don’t believe in this superstition because I think it’s all made up. I don’t really know of Slovenians are superstitious people. It probably differs from person to person.

One of the superstitions I know is that if you walk under a ladder, you will have bad luck. It is overrated to that point that it will fall on you. Yes, many people believe in this superstition. I don’t believe in it yet, but when something happens, I will. Yes, many people believe in it and there is a simple good reason behind it. We are slaves. The culture in Slavic nations is pretty strong and superstitions are a part of it. I know a lot of superstitions. The most basic one is the black cat one. People say that if a black cat goes in front of your car, it’s bad luck. I know a lot of people who believe in this. I’m not a really superstitious person.

24 | Froggy

One of the superstitions I believe in is that if you don’t want anything bad to happen, you can knock on something hard, like a desk, wood, some people even knock twice on their heads and then on a desk. They also say that Friday 13th is a superstition and I honestly didn’t believe in it until I cut myself on Friday 13th. I don’t think a lot of people believe in that, especially in Slovenia, except for older people.

One of the superstitions in Slovenia is that if a black cat walks in front of you, you’ll have bad luck. But you can get rid of the evil spell by spitting five times over your shoulders. I think many Slovenians believe in this superstition.

Knocking on wood. This superstition is very known in Slovenia. It’s connected with bad luck. For example, if you are talking about an accident that happened to someone and then you are like “Luckily that has never happened to me” and you knock on the wood so you don’t get bad luck. I don’t believe in it but a lot of people in my country do. I think the Slovenes are very superstitious because they believe in bad luck and they are afraid of it.

Students from Class 9

We live in an international world…

In Slovenia, we watch lots of American films. People drive French cars. We eat Italian food. In our shops, there are a lot of Italian, Austrian, Chinese and Slovene things. People wear Chinese clothes. We eat Indian rice. We wear Swiss watches.

One day I had a question: “Where was my watch made?” It was written: MadeinP.C.R.I didn’t know what that meant. I was thinking that it means MadeinPolandRepublicofc-somethingor MadeinPortugal Regiaandc-something . But I was wrong. It actually meant People’sRepublicof China.

Short stories

One day, two summers ago, me and my family were on a boat. Me, my sister and my parents to be exact. That day we decided to test our boat because it hadn’t been in the water for months. We were sailing across a canal which is basically a path between two islands. A canal has very strong water flow and it is very dangerous. Our boat powered down and it didn’t want to restart. It was moving with the strong waves and the wind. I genuinely thought we were going to hit land or just die. Luckily, we had an emergency paddle, so we slowly rowed out of the canal and were stuck in the burning sun. The boat restarted about half an hour later and I was very relieved. Luckily, I’m used to being on a boat and knowing basic safety hazards and some first aid. We got back home safely.

My story began last summer. One night I was watching TV when suddenly my mum rushed into the living room. I could see that she was nervous. She asked me if I had seen our dog. I said no and asked why. She said that she hadn’t seen our dog since the afternoon which was about three hours before that. When she told me that, I also started to worry because we never have our dog outside alone for more than an hour.

We went outside and started shouting out her name in hopes that she would come, but we didn’t get any response. I called my sister so we could all search for her. We were looking for her for about 15 minutes in our neighbourhood but we didn’t find her. I started thinking of all different scenarios about what had happened. I thought that someone had kidnapped her. I called my cousin who lived in the neighbourhood right next to ours. I asked her if she could go outside and look for her. Of course, she said yes. We were all searching for her for another 20 minutes but we didn’t find her. We almost started losing hope when I saw a shadow under the light. I immediately ran towards the light and I couldn’t believe my own eyes. I shouted that I had found her. My family ran towards us and I could see the relief in their eyes.

This was a very traumatizing experience for us. I hope it never happens again.

One day I went to sleep with my hair wrapped around a heatless curler. Because it was slightly uncomfortable sleeping on the side, I decided to sleep on my back. A few hours later I felt like I woke up, but I couldn’t move. On the side of my bed there was a scary demon staring at me. Suddenly it got up and started waking slowly towards me. It was hard to breathe and the only things I could move were my eyeballs. It got very close and I wanted to close my eyes but I couldn’t. A few seconds later it disappeared and I could move again. I realized it was a sleep paralysis and it was terrifying.

Last summer I was going to Canada. I was with my friend. We were talking about something when suddenly the pilot had a heart attack. After they announced the death of the pilot everybody started to panic. When the plane crashed, I woke up and everybody except for my friend had died. I soon realized that we were on an island. We then searched the plane for supplies. We searched and found a radio. Luckily, I knew how to use the radio. After six hours a helicopter came to rescue us.

Me and my friend Michael were on a plane. We were travelling from Slovenia to Switzerland. We were looking through the window when suddenly the engine broke. Then the pilot said that we didn’t have to worry. The plane safely landed on a nearby airport. We were scared, but in the end, all went right. We just came to Switzerland five hours later.

A haunted house

There is an old house near me. It has been abandoned since I knew that it exists. It was always pretty scary because there were plants growing out of broken windows. One thing that always scared me besides the broken windows was that no sunlight came in even though the house had a lot of windows. I even heard some ghost stories from friends that went past the house at night. There was one story that stood out though and it was a story that my best friend told me. He told me that once he was brave and went into the house but quickly figured out it was a very bad decision. He said he walked around a bit and tried to be quiet just in case somebody was in that house beside him. He said he was pretty good at staying quiet. After a while of looking around my friend decided to go to the basement which was like an abandoned dungeon. It was very big and scary but he said to himself if I got that far I should finish exploring. He went deeper and deeper into the dungeon and then stepped on something that made a sound. After that he felt something looking at him and almost touching him. He didn’t even look behind him, he just immediately ran from upstairs and through the door in probably less than a second. He told us all of this the next day and after that everybody is now scared of that house and nobody wants to go near it anymore.

Haunted Slovenia

One of the most beautiful castles in Slovenia is located in Brestanica – the Rajhenburg Castle. There is a large castle on the hill and a smaller one at the foot. Legend has it that the two brothers lived in those castles, but they hated each other so much that they literally couldn't see each other. One day they happened to be looking out the windows and saw each other straight in the eyes. People say that after some minutes both of them got upset and anxious, so they both committed suicide and shot themselves in their heads. Their skulls are still in the museum and some say that if you would try and turn them against each other, you would start hearing and seeing paranormal things. The bigger castle is also said to be home to many other ghosts.

A strange dream

I had a strange dream last night. The dream began when I woke up. At first, everything was normal but then someone knocked on the door, but when I got up to check who it was, there was no one. As I was walking back to my bed I saw a shadow of a person in the window. It was strange, so I decided to go check it out. As I was getting closer to the window, the shadow began to disappear, but when it completely disappeared, the window broke and glass fell on the garden. While I was looking at how glass was falling so slowly, I realized that there was a dead body under my window. Although it was so scary, I decided to go check downstairs. When I was walking through the hallway, I heard footsteps, but I didn’t see anybody, so I thought I was just terrified and I heard something that wasn’t even happening. But as I was walking upstairs, something patted my arm. As I turned back, I saw an old lady from my neighbourhood who had committed suicide years ago. Finally, I woke up and I remember that as soon as I woke up I checked if my window was broken because I was so terrified. But on my way to school I saw some glass on the floor.

GHOST STORY

Last week I went to France on a trip through the country. But when I stopped at Marseille, I started hearing screeching sounds and the sky turned grey in a matter of minutes. I didn’t think a lot about it, so I went into the museum of medieval times. It wasn’t guided or anything. I was completely alone. I went into the execution chamber. That’s when I heard someone walking. Just to be clear I was alone in the room. There were voices saying »Oh, the executioner has come«. It was 8 PM and a ghost jumped out of its mascot. I was quite scared. Then there was a voice saying »Oh somebody wants to join us«. The ghost went back into the mascot and I ran out and locked that door shut. I left that museum immediately.

Lionel Messi is a professional football (soccer) player from Argentina. In his career, he won a lot of important awards. He even got the most prestige one, called Ballon d’Or (several times). Only the best football players get this award. You must be the best footballer of the year to get it. Messi has won this award six times in his life and he will probably win another one this year, because he and his team won the World cup. Leo is recently playing for PSG, but he will probably come back to FC Barcelona after this season (on summer). But this isn’t for sure, because a club from Saudi Arabia made an offer of 400 million payment per year for him, some time ago.

HOW HIS CAREER BEGAN:

Messi started playing football, when he was a young boy and in 1995, he joined a small Argentine team. He was really good for his age, and some great clubs started scouting him in 1997. At age of 13 Messi and his family relocated to Barcelona, and he started playing for the Spanish best (officially second best) football club – FC Barcelona. He was showing his potential in every match. The best footballer of all time scored 21 goals in 14 games for the junior team, and he quickly got into higher-level teams until at age of 16, when he was given his debut with FC Barcelona in a friendly match. Messi was getting better and better and after some time he got his first Ballon d’Or. In the following years, he and Cristiano Ronaldo were the best individuals and won a lot of awards and trophies. He scored many goals in his career, but his best qualities are assisting and dribbling. In my opinion he was, and still is the best footballer of all time.

Selena Gomez was born on July 22nd 1992 in Texas. She began her career first as an actress in 2002 on the TV show called Barneyandfriends .

She then started her music career on Disney projects, including singing the theme song for Wizards of Waverly Palace She released three albums with her former band, which were all hits because they reached the top ten on the Billboard 200. The first album is called Kiss and tell, the second is called Come and get it, the third has won many music awards.

I’ve started listening to her music in 2017. I haven’t been to any of her concerts, but I’d definitely like to go there some day. I think she is still one of the best music artists out there.

Meine Woche war sehr chaotisch. Ich habe viele Tests geschrieben und Bücher gelesen. Aber am Freitag nach dem Training habe ich viel Spaß gehabt. Meine Freunde haben mich angerufen. Wir sind ins Kino gegangen und haben einen Horrorfilm gesehen. Er war sehr schrecklich! Wir haben viel Cola getrunken und Schokolade gegessen. Nach dem Kino sind wir zu mir nach Hause gefahren. Danach haben wir Popomusik gehört und getanzt. Ich habe viel Spaß gehabt.

Lieber Peter, im Mai war ich in Argentinien. Meine Familie und ich waren in einem sehr schönen Hotel. Das Essen war sehr modern. Das Wetter war warm, aber an einem Tag hat es geregnet und wir haben Fußball im Stadion gespielt. Wir hatten viel Spaß. Wir haben auch Messis Geburtshaus besucht und es war unvergesslich. Oh, diese Ferien waren super, aber es war teuer.
