Acid Rain

We looked at acid rain and what it is doing to our planet. We did an experiment to find out. We bought two plants, and watered one with water and one with acid rain. Look what happened...

This is the plant we watered with ordinary water. It is still very lovely after two weeks.

But look what has happened to our acid rain plant! If this is what acid rain is doing to the plants on our planet, what a terrible thing!

Our Acid Rain Experiment

Look at our videos of our experiment.

Air Pollution

We have spent a lot of time talking about air pollution. We thought about different ways that we can be affected by air pollution.
We looked at the people in China who have to wear special masks to cycle in some cities because the air is so bad.

We like our masks and think they look very pretty...But we still think that we look better without them! Let's keep the air clean so we don't need to wear them!

When will we fly our kites??

Hello from Greece!!!Yesterday, we made our kite and draw many beautiful landscapes: forests,trees,gardens,sea,animals etc. We send you some photos to see the result!Now, we wait for you, our friends, to arrange day and time to fly our environmental kites on a clean blue sky!!!

We draw our kite altogether...

Our kite ready to fly!!!!

The clay kites we made at school as well.They can't fly but we really like them because they have happy faces!!

REDUCING FUMES

This is a short picture story telling about the topic of fumes reducing. As you surely know, it is a straight connection between the mains of transport that people use and amount of fumes going to the atmosphere. We had a nice play today concerning this matter. Look and see.

"HOW TO GET TO THE KINDERGARTEN? TO WORK?"

You can use a car. It is better to share a carpool with another people, but if you don`t, you produce great amount of fumes, just by yourself ...

You can replace a car into the bus. It`s not as comfortable as with car, but your emission of fumes is lower!
That`s also good idea to attend a tram way to the kindergarten or a work place. It works on the different type of energy then on fuels, so using trams or trains reduces fumes emission as well.

Look at here! Riding bicycles needs just a body energy. No fumes. Just pleasure... Wind in hair and nice views on the way...

At the end, the most pleasurable way of getting to the place you want. WALKING. What is more, if you choose a good friend to walk with, you won`t regret... Look at Martyna, she is so happy in this picture:)

WE WANT TO BREATH CLEAN AIR!

It`s time to discuss the air pollution matter!
We were talking about causes of air pollution and some results of it like smog and acid rain...

Can you imagine that we have spent an hour wearing protection masks? It was all for that to realise that it is not even a little bit comfortable... Yeah, now we know that it certainly isn`t.
What is more, we even look strange and unrecognizable wearing those masks! Look...

Today we have learnt a new song concerned with a topic of clean air and clean water. The text says that children want to breath clean air instead of smog going from factories, and that they want to have a clean water. Clean water and air gives us a health which is necessary to enjoy our lifes. This is a refrain of a song: ("Czysta woda zdrowia doda, to każde dziecko wie. Czysta woda zdrowia doda Tobie, i Tobie, i mnie..." which means: "Clean water gives a health. Every kid knows that. Clean water gives a health for you, and you , and me").

SAVE WATER RESOURCES

Today we were talking about the water resources. We know how important is to save water for others. Do you realize that nowadays people on Earth use the same water which was drunk by dinosaurs millions of years ago? Next generations will use the same water which we use, so we should feel obliged not to spoil water resources.

We were discussing possible actions children can take to save water, as every drop of water is important to be saved. Look what we found out:

And this is our common poster which we made today all together:

PEOPLE ON EARTH (SO ALSO CHILDREN) SHOULD:

*Re-use the water for watering houseplants or cleaning.
*Avoid leaks. Ask parents to check faucets and toilets and fix leaks.
*Use a low-flow toilet that requires less for flushing.
*Avoid flushing unnecessarily. Don`t use the toilet as a trash can.
*Take the quick shower, or use a short amount of water in bath.
*Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth. Don`t let water run while washing your face.

Air pollution: a problem that we won't stand any more

These days we are talking about air pollution. Things start to become worse as time passes. Factories,cars, motorbikes have created a unbearable environment. What can we do? Is there any solution? We decided to make special masks and see how our life will be when we will be forced to wear masks like these in our everyday life. We didn't like it at all!!!

We also found a slogan to protest against air pollution: "Θέλουμε αέρα, αέρα καθαρό, θέλουμε οξυγόνο και γαλανό ουρανό" (theloume aera, aera katharo, theloume oxigono ke galano ourano). "We want air, clean air, we want oxygen and blue sky"

Then we went and informed the primary school's children about our protest and the effects of air pollution.

GREECE-UK-POLAND vote for clean seas!!!

HOW TO BEHAVE BY THE SEA?

As our partners, we also made a poster which tell us how to behave by the sea. We noticed that if we behave correctly at the beach, we will save a sea as well.

So have a look at our poster.

And there is a short "explanation movie". Enjoy:)
