Winter in Slovenia
Primary school Rovtarske Žibrše
Strange winter
 This year`s winter is
very strange. First
winter was too
warm. Then
followed a week of
severe cold. Again
the sun and high
temperatures. In the
meantime some rain,
mist and gray sky.
 Finally snow, which
was nice only a day
or two- until it
turned into icy
horror.
The worst devastation in living
memory
 Snow and ice
has paralyzed
Slovenia,
bringing down
trees and
electricity
pylons,
cutting power
from our
homes and
causing
millions of
euros of
damage.
 We have no
elektricity, no
internet
connections.
 The schools
have been
closed.

Our winter activities
6th December St. Nicholas
 The holiday season
begins with the
feast of St.
Nicholas on
December 6th.
 He comes down
from heaven. With
him come the
angels and the
devils. He brings
toys, fruit,
sweets… or stick.
Advent time
 Advent is the time
of four weeks
before Christmas.
We made beautiful
wreaths.
 It is also the time
when we think
about our past
and what we can
do better in the
future.
Christmas be better !
 We made
ornaments and
Christmas cards.
Then we
organized an
exhibition with
sale. With this
money we will
help poorer
children.
Carol singers
 We went from
house to house
around the
village, sang
songs and
brought
happiness and
blessings to the
people.
Visit in a nursing home
