My school

My school consists of three floors and the basement. On the second floor is the gymnasium. There are about 250 pupils (at the age of 7 – 13 attending to 12 classes) and 29 teachers in our school.

Everywhere is full of flowers. We start our school year the 1st of September. On this day we

celebrate the anniversary of the defense of our town in 1939. In memory of these events, our school received the name of the “Defenders of

Węgierska Górka”. Until this moment there are four defensive forts in Węgierska

Górka. One of the most important days in our school is September 21. On this day we celebrate the Day of the School.

Students from the first classes make the pledge and they are dubbed our school pupils. Our Schedule (VI b class)

During the breaks we run, talk to each other, but thanks to the

presence of our teachers there is rather quiet. It is terrible when they grow up around us as from under the ground. There is an auditorium and a special room for playing and learning in our school.

Our library is full of wonderful books.

Welcome to the heart of Slovenia

The coat of arms of Litija

Municipality Litija lies in Posavje in the heart of Slovenia: its territory is also GEOSS - the

geometric center of Slovenia. Municipality comprises more than 221 km2 and 107 settlements

inhabited by 14,494 people. Litija is the municipal center and has 7,000 inhabitants. It lies on both

banks of the River Sava, which in this area makes the largest distinctive bend in the territory of

Slovenia.

Iron Age and mining

The fact that the area was populated since prehistoric times, as evidenced by numerous

archaeological sites, among them the most area Vače, where it was found the famous village urn.

Litija`s hills are very rich in ore, and mining activity has already started in the Iron Age and

continued until the 60th 20th years century, when the mine Sitarjevec was abandoned. Expansion

of mining activities in the 18th century also due to one of the oldest building in Slovenia ironworks

in Pasjeku.

The first reference

The first written mention of Litija dates back to 1145, when the patriarch gave Stična Monastery

few farms around Litija. The oldest building in town is Farbarjev Turn, which is protected as a

cultural monument of local importance. Time of occurrence is unknown, but in the 14th and 15

century, as already mentioned Ortenburgs owners and the Counts of Celje.

The arrival of the railways

The arrival of railways in Litija was crucial to its development. Its construction started in 1839 in

Vienna as "a Southern Railway," the purpose of building the connection to the Austrian capital

Vienna, Trieste, which would bring significant economic development.

Economic development and settlement

In Litija, after the arrival of the railways, almost over night happened significant changes.

Traditional crafts are closing doors, people immediately began to show a new way of life - by rail.

Carriers transported goods to the railway station and they had to ferry across the river Sava, which

was cumbersome and time consuming. Litijani have therefore already in three years after the

arrival of the train - in 1852 - built a bridge over the Sava. He was wooden, he kept until 1973,

when it was replaced by a new modern.

Minerals mine Sitarjevec

Litija is probably the oldest Slovenian mining town. Beginning mining in our area dates back to

the time of the Celts, who ore mined here. In a larger scale, here are also mined by the Romans.

Mining over the past was several times abandoned and again restored. Length of tunnels is more

than forty miles. In 1965, the mine was because the lack of mineral stock finally closed. Now work

is underway to reopen the mine, which would be presented to the public.

Oton Župančič: List

Przyszedł list z dalekiej krainy,

z dalekiej krainy, z obcego kraju,

z obcego kraju, od zamorskiego króla,

biały list, czarna pieczęć.

Jaki jest dany w tym liście rozkaz?

Jaki rozkaz, jakie zarządzenia?

Co od nas chce, co rozkazuje?

Chodźmy, chodźmy list czytać!

„To jest rozkaz zamorskiego króla:

Wszyscy rozbrykani przedszkolacy

musicie szybko zasnąć,

w mgnieniu oka, musicie zasnąć!”

Król Matjaž

Król Matjaż był dobrym królem. Za jego czasów kuto tylko złote monety. Innej waluty w

ogóle nie znano. Dlatego były wówczas naprawdę złote czasy. Pod rozłożystymi lipami nasi

praojcowie każdego dnia bawili się i napełniali błyszczące kieliszki wybornym winem.

Król Matjaż był słoweńskim królem, był naszym rodakiem. Wybrał go lud na Gosposvetskem

Polu i w starym Krnskem zamku miał swój tron. Dzień i noc zamkowe wrota były otwarte i

każdy nędzarz mógł wyprosić łaskę i sprawiedliwość. Ponieważ drudzy królowie zazdrościli

mu to tyle, ile jest gąsienic na polu rzepy, tyle niegdyś przyszło wrogów na niego, z krajów,

gdzie zachodzi słońce. W krwawym boju wybili oni wojsko króla do ostatnich stu wiernych

bohaterów. Jednak ponieważ król był sprawiedliwy, sam nie został zabity: już myślał wróg,

że weźmie go do niewoli, gdy otworzyła się skała w Peccah, do której pobiegł i go ukryła.

Tam do tej pory spoczywa ze swoimi bohaterami, a kiedy broda obrośnie mu

dziewięciokrotnie dookoła stołu, góra odda go z powrotem, żeby szczęśliwie władał

słoweńskim narodem.

Kralj Matjaž

Krajl Matjaž je bil dober kralj. Dajal je same zlote kovati. Drugega denarja sploh poznali niso.

Zato so bili takrat res zlati časi. Pod kosatimi lipami so naši očaki vsak dan rajali in natakali

rujno vince v svetle kozarce.

Bil pa je krajl Matjaž slovenski kralj, naše gore list. Izbralo si ga je ljudstvo na

Gosposvetskem polju in v Krnskem gradu je imel svoj prestol. Noč in dan so bila odprta

grajska vrata in vsak siromak si je mogel izprositi milosti in pravice. Ker pa je bil Matja bogat

vladar, so mu drugi kralji zavidali in kakor gosenic na rapišče je prišlo neko sovražnikov

nadenj iż krajev, kjer sonce zahaja; ti so v krvavem boju pokončali njegovo vojsko do sto

zvestih junakov. Toda ker je bil kralj pravičen, sam ni bil ubit: ko ga je bil pobegnil, in ga

zakrila. Tam počiva sedaj s svojimi junaki: a kadar mu bo zrasla brada devetkrat okoli mize,

ga bo dala gora nazaj, da bo srečno vladal slovenski rod.
