  • Recycling cars

    One day we have decided to use boxes and packaging in a creative way.

    All together, we have decided to make cars. Everyone has jauntily started to work.

    Boxes were wrapped with old newspapers, medicine packaging was used to make turn-signals, old paper plates made the wheels.

    Ah, how much fan we had and for such a long time!

  • RECYCLE MAN "DAREK"

    One day, Weronika came to school and said that she had a brilliant idea - we can creat a "recycle man" from the toilet paper`s rolls. We started to collect the rolls, it took us a long time but finally we have managed! We had over 70. Then we started our work. And that is the result!

  • student blog Jumping mouse

    I made a jumping mouse from a old T-shirt a found some info. hope you like it.

    Where do they live?

    Woodland jumping mice are found throughout northeastern North America, from central Manitoba to northern Quebec and south into the lower Appalachian Mountains (northern Georgia). In Michigan, these mice may be found in the Upper Peninsula and in the northern three tiers of counties in the Lower Peninsula.

    How long do they live?

    Members of the jumping mice family have relatively long lifespans. For example, Brown (1970) estimated that western jumping mice live at least 4 years in the wild. Even though woodland jumping mice have a high turnover rate in the fall, with a maximum life span of 4 years, they live longer in the wild than most other North American small mammals. The average lifespan is 3 years. The long lifespan of these animals is at least partly due to their ability to hibernate. However, because age is estimated the amount of wear on molars, and because N. insignis only uses its teeth for half of the year, determining age can be difficult.

     

    What do they eat?

    Woodland jumping mice eat a variety of foods, including fruits, seeds, fungi, and insects. In many areas, these mice depend on the fungus Endogone for food. This fungus was found in 78% of the mice examined, and made up about 40% of what they had eaten. This large percentage of consumed Endogone is not found in any other small mammal. These mice were also found to have eaten raspberries, May apples, blueberries, ferns, leaves, and nuts. Insects are another important part of the diet of these mice, providing about 22% of their food. Woodland jumping mice do not cache food.

  • Rajveen really enjoyed creating these sea creatures, despite the noisy distraction of all the machines in PICU. He used, scrap newspaper and cardboard and some plasters he especially requested. I think he enjoyed using some of the hospital materials to create something instead of them always being used on him. He especially like Angel Fish and shared that he enjoyed his trip to the London Aquarium when he was younger.

  • Creatures of the sea inspired by World Ocean's Day

    Final product to come. It involves bubble wrap for tentacles and a VERY bright pink. This was a piece of work done by Sara. She was delighted to come into the classroom to do it (when all the other children had already left ) as she had only recently come out of isolation and she was very pleased to be able to have space and access to all our resources. HAPPY DAYS. Sara was very disappointed to hear about "The Great Pacific Garbage Patch" and was very keen to limit the amount of plastic and rubbish she creates. http://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/campaigns/oceans/fit-for-the-future/pollution/trash-vortex/ "What can we do to protect ocean life from the perils of plastic?"

  • SECOND LIFE OF RUBBISH

     In March, together with the British and Italian Partners, we took part in the eco-workshop: “Second life of rubbish”.

    We had a great discussion about the eco lifestyle. We tried to find an answer to how we can do shopping without producing a great amount of waste. The teacher told us how to segregate rubbish according to the latest regulations. We discussed the legal garbage dump and the “wild garbage dump” - what influence they have on our planet and our lives. At the end, we did some art work – with recycled materials, of course! - using the decoupage technique.

  • TONNES OF RUBBISH.... WHAT NEXT?

    Tonnes of rubbish... what next?

    In January, we had another Comenius workshop in the

    St.Ludwik`s Hospital. This time the title was “Tonnes of rubbish... what next?”.

    During the meeting ,the pupils found out about:

    • places where rubbish goes after it leaves our houses

    • what happens during segregation

    • what happens with rubbish that goes to only one collective container

    • refuse heaps and garbage incinerators

    • recycling

    As a didactic help, we used Alex Frith`s book : “Recycling and waste” We also used a computer

    game- “Waste recycling”

    The kids also learned the meaning of the ecological signs that can be found on the packages of products.

    The last task was to find the signs on different packages (e.g. on plastic bottles, paper boxes and glass) and to explain their meaning.
