We all like Christmas ...

I like Christmas because there is no school on Christmas. I like it also because we eat very delicious food and we get the presents, and the tree is wonderful when it's shining…

Tita, 6.a

I like Christmas because there’s one time of the year when people come together and then Father Christmas comes and puts presents under our Christmas tree. It's a time when people don't think about themselves, but about the others.
Angela, 6. a

I like Christmas because this year I decorated everything all by myself.
Martin, 6.a

I like Christmas because I'm with my family, because it is so nice, because of the decoration, and the Christmas tree. I like it when we are at my grandma’s, because we are all together and happy.
Ema, 6.a

I like Christmas because I am free, I get presents and I am with my family.

Our Letters to Santa Claus

Dear Santa Claus,

for Christmas I would like:
- some new shoes
- a CD from singers Zui Suicide & Audrey Kitching
- some toys for my dog
- nothing for my brother… just kidding
- a bag/purse for my mum
- a new phone for my dad
- a scarf for my brother

Well, that's some of my wishes because, they're too many to put them on this list.
Lots of health and love,
Tita

Hello! I’m Jack O’Lantern. I’m American. I have nine sisters, seven brothers and two pets. I’m 12 minutes old. I’m standing in front of Mrs Hill’s house. She’s nice. My pets are two mice. On Halloween I scare many people. Some of them think I’m cute. Sometimes, I even dress up and say: ‘’Trick or treat!’’
Tita, 6.a.

On October 31 we go to the city and scare people. I like eating bananas and apples. I have three friends: Timmy, Tod and Kiley. I am a very happy pumpkin.
Taja, 6.b


Hello! I’m Jack O’Lantern. I’m American. I’ve got 36 brothers and 24 sisters. I hate them! I’ve died five times already. I’m thousand years old. I hate most of the girls and children I know because they are getting on my nerves. My only friends are Devi and spiders. I love spiders. They freak me out some times, but I still like them. I’m very lazy and I don’t move a lot. I don’t eat and drink. I don’t need to. In our family we have got the tradition that we murder the one that we don’t like. That’s all about me and my family!
Devi, 6.a

I have seen something ...

I have seen something recently.
I have seen something beautiful.
I have seen something agreeable.

Was it the tree that I have seen?
Were those the flowers or the light?
It was not the tree nor the flowers
and not the light. It was the sun.

Yes, the sun that shines every day,
every single day on the Earth,
every single day in my country.

I have felt something recently.
I have felt something beautiful.
I have felt something agreeable.

Was it the spring that I have felt?
Was it the smell? Maybe the warmth?
It was not the spring nor the smell
and not the warmth. It was the love.

Yes, the love that we feel every day,
every single day on the Earth,
the love of our friends and the country.

I have heard something recently.
I have heard something beautiful.
I have heard something agreeable.

Was it the bird that I have heard?
Was it the ringing or the song?
It was not the bird nor the ringing
and not the song. It was good news.

Yes, good news that we hear every day,
every single day on the Earth,
good news that is good for my country.

I have learnt something recently.
I have learnt something beautiful.
I have learnt something agreeable.

Was it the maths that I have learnt?
Was it the physics or Slovene?
It was not the maths nor physics
and not the Slovene. It was what's important.

Yes, what's important every day,
every single day on the Earth,
it's not the money, it's the love.

A few spring poems

Sweet

Growing


Flowers

Tulips are red,
Daisies are white,
some have a strong smell,
some have a slight.

The roots are vital
to the flower's survival.
The leaves are green-
they are a food-making machine.

The stem can be thin
or short,
or small,
but without it,
the flower would fall.

There can be many blossoms,
or just one.
That is the peak of the flower,
its crown.

Where would you like to live?

I would like to live in the Japanese countryside, because I like the culture, the way their houses look, (not the tall skyscrapers, but the pagoda buildings, like the one on the picture below) the food and the language. I would, of course, have to learn the language, but I already know around 5 - 10 words from the cartoons in Japanese. I am also very fond of the kimono and the music, so yeah, I would live there.
My second would be in Serbia, in Belgrade, because I know the language and half of my family is from there. I like the music a lot too, and the food as well.
Finally, my last choice would be in Crete, in a small place called Matala. I went there during the summer holidays, and I fell in love with the place. I would love to live somewhere near the sea, because I love swimming, sunbathing or just walking along the coast and listening to the waves washing upon the shore.

Living across the ocean…

When I was 5 my family moved across the ocean from America to Slovenia. America and Slovenia are so different: the people, the weather, the buildings, the language… It is hard for me to compare the two, because I don't really remember living in America, but every third summer we go back and I will try to do it by that even though it isn't really the same.
I really like it in America. It isn't the same as here at all and it also isn't as the people think. They don't have really big houses and eat fast food all the time… When our family goes back to America we probably eat more fast food than the Americans! And my favorite thing about American fast food is the free refills! The people in America are also really nice. They would talk to anyone! Even if you are a stranger they will talk to you like they have known you forever. Transportation is also different. The roads are really wide and it takes forever to get anywhere (Ok, not exactly forever). But when you get there you can see some amazing things (which is a lot like here: like the East Coast, the Grand Canyon…
But here is Slovenia it is also cool. They have really good food and friends love to come over and chat. The people are nice if you know them, but if you don't they are a little more reserved. The nature here is also really pretty! There are so many different places that you can go to and it doesn't take that long to get there. You can see lakes, caves, mountains, hills…I like living here and can't imagine living anywhere else.
