KITES FOR EUROPE

On saturday 29th of may some coloured kites will fly in the sky of Fara Sabina. These kites have been made by some classes of our school, and children have decided to picture them with the flags of our european friends and partners. The flight ok the kites will constitute an artistic performance thought by a modern artist, inserted into an artistic international demonstration, called "20 eventi" (20 events). So our project will fly very high :-)!

RECYCLING in FARA SABINA

Hello friends, since the biginning of the year, children in our school have been collecting waste, separating paper and plastic. Two weeks ago, for the first time, children started to give these special rubbish to a very special "car": a car which weighs the waste with an electronicl system, and gives score for each kilo of paper or plastic collected. At the end of the next year, the class which will have the highest score, will win a prize! This is the result of the work planned togheter by the Major and our school, through the Comenius project: a great goal for our community, which didn't practice recycling before. Nice, is it?

A message from Sophie

I liked it when the visitors came to my school I liked it when the teachers asked me lots of questions and I could tell them the answers!! I told Torsten what everyone does in the Woodland. We have lots of fun there. Some children in my class were able to do cooking with the teachers. I am an eco-warrior for my class and I explained to the visiting teachers about Walk to School week.

A blog from Andrew, North Leigh School

Hello, It was great having some German Friends in Class 4 because they were able to tell us about their school. We were surprised that they started school early at 8 o'clock and finished school about 1.30pm. We don't finish until 3pm! I would like to visit their school in Germany to find out the different ways they learn and what they do. Goodbye from Andrew.

The Eco-Warriors!!

The Eco-Warriors explained how the children at North Leigh School were helping to save electricity at school and in their own homes. They explained that they had appeared on radio and television to talk about the contribution the school has made to the "Challenge North Leigh Village Project."

They described Walk to School weeks which help parents and children become more aware of how to save fuel energy and how this helps to improve the environment. It also helps everyone to become fitter!!

The children are becoming more aware of their "Carbon Footprint." They are using a website which helps them to measure their "Footprint."

Children welcome teachers and students to North Leigh School!!

Everyone was very excited to meet our visitors!! We were able to talk to them about our school and to show them our woodland, classrooms and our village.

Cooking with teachers from Slovenia, Germany and Italy!!

The children at North Leigh School really enjoyed cooking traditional recipes with the teachers from our partner schools!! The food was delicious and was shared with parents, students and teachers at our International Evening on 21st May 2010.

EUROPEAN VILLAGE IN PTUJ

On the 8th May 2010 we organized a European village in Ptuj. Every school in our district has presented one of the European countries. Our school has been assigned to Italy. We were very happy because one of our Comenius partners come from Italy. Students were prepared stand with Italy publicity material. The material was obtained at the Italian consulate in Ljubljana. We also presented the traditional Italian dishes - pizza and pasta which are also very popular dishes for pupils in Slovenia. Of course, there was not missing a cappuccino too. Students also presented a short game - "Macaroni went for a wander".
