Slovenia

**Our country Slovenia**

====Slovenia lies in the middle of Europe, bordering with Italy, Austria, Hungary and Croatia. It's a miniature Europe and although it is a small country, there is an exceptionally wide variety of habitats - we have Alps, Panonian landscape and the mediterranean sea. It's a very green country, ful of lakes, rivers, meadows and forest. We also have some truly beautiful caves. ====

Slovenian primary school lasts 9 years. Our school cosists of two schools, the main school Milojke Štrukelj and the subsidiary school called Ledine. Children from 1st till 3rd grade go to Lednie and older children go to Milojke Štrukelj school. Children start school when they are 6 years old and finish it when they are 15. Most of them go to High school and some go to the University.

These are our schools:


This year it's our school's 50th birthday!

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Children start school at 8am and usually finish it around 1 or 2 pm, depending on which class they are. For younger pupils an afternoon stay is organized, they can make their homework there or have help with learning and they can play with their friends or go to various activities such as pen pal club, chess, choir, dance class, gym etc.

<span style="color: #006eff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">SCHOOL MEALS
====<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Our students get first snack in the morning at 10 o'clock, this is usually a sandwich or some buns together with milk, cocoa or juice and always followed by some fruit or nuts. At noon they have a hot meal in school cafeteria, they always get soup and then rice, macaroni or potato with meat. That is what Slovenian people traditionally eat. They sometimes get pizza, hot dog and pancakes as well and that makes them really happy! They always have a salad bar, juice and even a dessert. The children at afternoon stay get also an afternoon snack at 3pm. The ministry gives a subvention for meals for all students and students with lower income have at least the morning snack completely covered. ====
