CONCLUSION OF THE PROJECT

We have learned about other countries, we liked that we could prove that we aren't like they think we are. We were suprised at the fact that some students from other countries thought that we lived in caves and that we don't wear modern clothes and finally, we enjoyed it because our class worked as a team.

4. Are the Slovenians educated  ?

5. Is Slovenia a clean country?

6. Do the Slovenias eat  traditional  or modern food?

7. Do the Slovenians wear   traditional or modern clothes?

8. Do the Slovenians like sport?

9. What are the Slovenians like in general?

10. Are the Slovenians selfish ?

11. Are the Slovenians envious?

SLOVENIJA

 SLOVENIJA

Slovenian flag

Slovenia is in the heart of Europe and it's a member of  the European Union.

Our country is very small, it spreads on 20,273 km2.

Slovenia has 2 millions people and the capital is Ljubljana.

It is small, but it is beautiful; for example we have the Alps and Adriatic sea, there are many forests, fields in the country but industry is mainly in the urban areas.

 Tourism in Slovenia is very developed, people like sport and tourists can do winter and summer sports. Some of tourist spots are the Lake of Bled, Piran, the Lake of Bohinj, the old town of Ptuj .

 Even though the country is small, many famous people come from Slovenia :

Tina Maze - the alpine skier, Petra Majdič - the cross country skier, Martin Strel - the professional marathon swimmer and many other.

SUAS

The name of our school is the Secondary School of Economics Ljubljana, or in short SUAS.

It is located in center of Ljublana which is the capital city of Slovenia . The school is near a fast food restaurant. The building is old and has four-storeys.

In the school there are about 800 students and about 50 teachers. We have a nice gym and  the school organizes many  after-school activities for the students. Our school programmes are economics assistant and business assistant.

CLASS 2EC: We are the students of class 2EC and  there are 5 boys and 15 girls. The most of students are around 16 years old. At the moment our class is winning the school competition. The students in our class like school trips, the snacks at the school, volleyball, football, basketball, music, dancing and singing. We have good results in football, singing, volleyball, writing songs.

What we don't like is getting up early.

that is our class

WELCOME by Tanja Rojc, the English teacher of the sudents at Suas Ljubljana, SLOVENIA

Hello,

this blog is created for the Debunk Stereotypes project my second grade secondary school students and me are participating in. The theme of the project fits perfectly in the topic we have been working on  in our English class -countries and nationalities.

We all look forward to collaborating with other students around the world..

At the moment my students are preparing a presentation on Slovenia and our school.

Kind regards to all from
