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
It’s nice to be
together
Our headmistress
We sang Christmas
songs.
Bela snežinka (White
snowflake) and
Silvesterski poljub (A
New Year’s Eve kiss)
are the most popular
songs at Christmas
holidays.

The Independence and Unity Day
