Music for reading 

LEARN ENGLISH THROUGH SONGS

Have you ever wondered whether learning English at school really helps you to improve your English? I strongly believe that it does, but I also admit that it sometimes just isn't enough to get you from an intermediate level to a more advanced level. 

This is where your interests get in. Whatever you are keen on and you devote a lot of time to - if you start using English through that, you might improve much more and faster than just by doing the school work.

And music is a great source of English. Sistematically or not, I wish you get the most out of it.

It's that time of year

Can you believe it?

A couple more days and it'll be Christmas.

Either you prefer some days off school or you are keen on holiday traditions, everybody is just looking forward to that 24th when we finish what we've been doing and begin a completely new period, even if just for a couple of hours. But let it be days, weeks even, of that pleasant feeling of being among the people that love you and care for you and the unbeatable hope that everything will be all right.

Let's all be very dilligent and work hard the last few days so we can all have a merry Christmas, although a humble one this year. 

Reading online?

Is reading online after hours of schoolwork done on the computer good? Is keeping up with what's going on in the world good? It's up to you to decide (and your parents; if they are in doubt, perhaps this article can help: 5 Benefits of reading online).

Here is a good source of news - you can choose the topic and the level - easy or more genuine. I hope you find some good news. :-)

Prolonged autumn holidays

Lucky we - we get a free week off school!

It's probably better to think of it that way instead of just another week of quarantine. Mind you, staying safe is not only avoiding contact, but making sure we're in good shape, physically and mentally.

Here's an interesting article about the important things during quarantine.

Take care, everybody! 

A passion for English

Do you fell the British accent is something special? More sophisticated, full of culture and tradition and at the same time so modern.

Would you like to acquire it? Why not?

 

26. septembra v Evropi že od leta 2001 praznujemo in vzpodbujamo jezikovno raznolikost in vseživljenjsko učenje jezikov, s čimer vzpodbujamo tudi medkulturno razumevanje.

Na šoli ta dan vsako leto obeležimo nekoliko drugače. 

Letos oblikujemo zaščitne maske, preko katerih pripovedujemo, katere jezike govorimo in se želimo učiti. Hkrati sporočamo, da je kljub zaostrenim družbenim razmerah, ko je potovanje v druge države omejeno, in v trenutni situaciji, ko moramo skoraj povsod nositi maske, naša želja po razumevanju in sporazumevanju s preostalim svetom še močnejša.

Poleg tega bo skupina učencev sodelovala v mednarodnem kvizu na spletu 'Celebrate Language Online Quiz'.

Ob tem dnevu se lahko preizkusiš v raznih dejavnostih povezanih z različnimi jeziki:

- jezikovne igre

- zanimiva dejstva o jeziku

- jezikovna zabava

In zakaj bi se v teh časih želeli učiti druge jezike?

A lesson during the holidays?

School is almost over

Back to school after the pandemic

Dear students!

It wasn't easy, was it?

Staying at home, doing things for school, making sure you catch up with all the assignments for all the subjects and hand in, or better, send all the 'proves of learning' to more or less persistent teachers that would not let you avoid responsibilities, fearing that you might oversleep and miss a video class, listening to your parents telling you school is your own responsibility and that you have to be (more) responsible, ... and you tell me what else you had to endure during the quarantine.

I can imagine.

So, why were you a bit puzzled when you were told you could go back to school. Why did it come down to you had to go back to school?

After the first week, I hope you've loosen up a bit and actually started to appreciate the opportunity to hang out with friends, get that explanation of what you were supposed to do that was really hard to understand from the witten instructions, had a few good moments away from home, and not such a bad time at all.

And I hope school isn't hard for you these last few weeks, but a manageable if not enjoyable period of time before you are off again for your fast-approacing summer holidays.

Let's make it the best end of the school year we can - together. 

FRIENDS ARE IMPORTANT
