Pupils from Zespół Szkolno-Przedszkolny nr 3 im. Jana Pawła II in Rybnik (Poland) decided that it was necessary
to make the school's surroundings more environmentally friendly. To achieve
this, the older children cleaned up the nearby forest, while the younger
children made seed balls, which grew into beautiful, colourful flowers, which
are visible from school windows.
The Bee Day at Zespół Szkolno-Przedszkolny nr 3 im. Jana Pawła II in Rybnik (Poland) lasted a whole week and was packed with many different events. Pupils learned about the life of bees, their structure and development, the structure of the hive and the importance of bees in nature. The younger children watched a film about bees, made bees using waste materials, and had the opportunity to taste different types of honey. Older children presented the collected information in the form of lapbooks.
During the "Colourful chemistry" workshop, the children observed how the colours of liquids change depending on the added indicator and the reaction of the solution. Pupils investigated and analysed how the colours of natural dyes contained in turmeric, cabbage and flowers can change. They analysed how they could be used to study the contamination of soil and rainfall and in this way assess the state of the environment.
Some funny exercises of IT were also designed to deepen the knowledge of students on envirnomental issues.
To celebrate the International Day of the Forest, students from Zespół Szkolno-Przedszkolny nr 3 im. Jana Pawła II in Rybnik (Poland) prepared multimedia herbariums presenting native tree species. They also collected material for an instructional video about different tree species and their uses. Then, they used them to try to recognise the trees growing in the nearby forest. The younger pupils made spatial forest ecosystems and planted forests in a jar.
We started a challenge about the activities schools were organising in their Eco Clubs.
