THE MAYOR OF NAVÀS VISITS US AT SCHOOL

Navàs, 9th April 2018: The Mayor of Navas visits us at school

Today we lived a good experience in class because Mr. Jaume Casals, the Mayor of Navàs came to give us a reply of the letter we brought him in March after the Action "Let's Clean Up Europe". He congratulated us for all the actions we are doing and encouraged us to spread our good habits to our families, friends, neighbourhood and everywhere. He said: " You are the key of the future"
Thanks Mr Jaume, we will keep doing our best!

Here is his letter with the reply: he and the councilors are working on our proposal. let the river Llobregat shore become a leasure place for people to go for a walk, to have a picnic etc. 

After the letter, we could show him some of the activities we have been doing during our eTwinning project " URRRGENT! Europe's knocking at the door" such as: the " Climate Action Project" in October, The EWWR in November, " the garlic soup", the Eco-calendar in January... and he also told us about the food waste study and research that the Council has done in Navàs. It seems that that people throw a lot of food and he told us that WE NEED TO WORK ON FOOD WASTE A LOT! 

NATURE'S CALLING SOS, Schools song contest '18

After working hard with our interdisciplinary project LIVING PLANET, we focussed the topic of the song about the problems that our planet is suffering because of the climate change and Humans actions.
So, in a song format, we sing loudly and claim to join together and give a hand to our planet.

Enjoy watching the video and singing the song with us!

Amazing work dear students of 6th Grade! now,

22nd March, INTERNATIONAL DAY OF WATER

"The dream of water" . we watched a video about people from the slums of Mumbay  who live in India and who struggles to find drinking water in the slum where she  and her family live.

We also travelled to Chile and discovered how creative and entrepreneur are people to catch the raindrops from the fog at the top of the mountains.

PLANET EARTH INTERACTIVE GAME

Playing this game we realized how amazing is our planet and how important it is to take care of all the animals, plants and habitats all over the world.
We played in teams. The winner was the team who put the last jigsaw piece on the planet.

LET'S CLEAN UP EUROPE

Let's Clean Up Europe pretends to be the following Action we will do within the programme of the "EWWR".Both countries, Greece and Catalonia will take part and clean different sites but in the same way, the first one on the seaside and the second one on a river shore. We will pick up the waste and separate it in: plastic, paper, glass and trash.After that we will complete a chart in order to analyze the data and take some conclusions and opinions.
Finally we will contact the Media, or the Mayor of our town to tell about our Action and also to suggest a proposal to improve the area which has been cleaned. 

Here are some of the results:

COL·LEGI SANT JOSEP, NAVÀS

We cleaned Cal Forcada, a zone near River Llobregat. We had the help of some staff from the Town Hall. We want to thank all of them and specially Susana Ribera, the coordinator of eco-friendly actions in Navàs.
Here is the worksheet with the data:

After that, we analyzed and discussed about the results and the Action we did in Cal Forcada, near river Llobregat.
We decided to write a letter to the mayor, telling him what we did and suggesting him that we would like that  this area was a leasure zone to go to play with friends, go for a walk, a picnic, and enjoy the nature.

This is the letter written to the mayor by the whole class of 5th Grade

He promissed us to replay the letter and to visit us at school soon. 
Which will be his answer?

This is our video report about this wonderful and exciting experience!

From now on, we can say: TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A BETTER WORLD!

ENDANGERED ANIMALS

Pupils in Grade 5 worked on a project about endangered animals.
We discovered why they are in danger of extinction: Loss of habitat, global warming, deforestation, pollution and hunting and poaching are the main reasons because many animals are in danger!

What can we do to avoid their extinction?

ECO-CALENDAR 2018

Pupils in Grade 5 have created an eco-calendar for 2018, as our purpose is to make the Earth a better place.
The calendar is part of an eTwinning project called "URRRGENT! europe's knocking at the door"

URRRGENT! EUROPE'S KNOCKING AT THE DOOR

Dear friends,
We are glad to announce you that our project "URRRGENT! Europe's knocking at the door" has been selected as a candidate for the European prize.
Last Wednesday 24th January the Regional TV Canal Taronja came to school to interview the pupils and the teacher.

This is their report:

L’Agència de Residus de Catalunya ha presentat sis projectes catalans al IX Premi Europeu de la Prevenció de Residus, que es donarà a conèixer en una cerimònia a finals de maig a Brussel·les.
Entre els candidats seleccionats hi ha el projecte dels alumnes de 5è de primària col·legi Sant Josep de Navàs que competeix en l’apartat Cooperació entre regions i que es titula “URRRGENT! Europe’s knocking at the door.” L’Agència l’ha seleccionat tenint en compte la relació de les activitats amb els eixos de la Setmana Europea de la Prevenció de Residus, celebrada el novembre passat, l’originalitat de la proposta, i el seu caràcter innovador. Des del centre navassenc estant satisfets de seguir participant en projectes europeus
El treball seleccionat es basa a donar nova vida a objectes utilitzats, des d’ampolles convertides en dispensadors de bosses de plàstic o el programa de malbaratament d’aliments on es va presentar la reutilització del pa sec a través de la sopa d’all.
Els alumnes tenen 10 anys, es relacionen amb altres alumnes de centres europeus i comparteixen projectes sobre les tres erres, reduir, reutilitzar i reciclar. Diversos alumnes explicaven el que havien fet i les seves experiències.
És un projecte eTwinning entre el col·legi sant Josep de Navàs i l’escola grega 1st Experimental Primary School d’Alexandroupoli. Les escoles han compartit propostes per treballar el concepte “donem-li una nova vida”.

Storytelling with MEG

THE PAPER BAG PRINCE
We are lucky to have a teacher from Wales at school.
Meg, told us a story called " The paperbag prince", it was so nice and funny.
We tried to invent a new end.


The second part of the story was making INSECTS HOTELS.
We used our creativity and imagination and made wonderful hotels for the insects in our garden.

Agents rurals 6è

Taller de fauna amb els agents rurals dins les activitats del projecte interdisciplinari d'escola Planeta Viu.

CICLE SUPERIOR- PLANET EARTH WORKSHOP

PLANTA DE RECICLATGE CS

Hem visitat la Planta de reciclatge de components electrònics que ens ha permès conèixer quins elements es reutilitzen i com d'aquells utensilis que fem servir en la nostra vida quotidiana.El Centre de tractament i reciclatge de frigorífics del Pont de Vilomara i Rocafort és l’única planta de Catalunya que gestiona neveres, congeladors i condicionadors d’aire per tal de que es puguin reciclar la majoria dels seus components i recollir i tractar els CFCs, altres gasos destructors de la capa d’ozó i els gasos refrigerants dels equips actuals. Aquesta visita ens permet aprofundir el projecte Planeta Viu.

CÚPULA GUSTUM CS

Hem pogut gaudir d'aquesta activitat emmarcada dins el projecte Planeta Viu gràcies a l'Ajuntament de Navàs. La Cúpula és una proposta impulsada per Gustum, projecte coordinat per l’Associació Leader de Ponent i que té com a objectiu promoure el desenvolupament econòmic del territori a partir de la promoció del producte local artesà i de qualitat. Un dels eixos d’actuació de Gustum, i en el qual s’emmarca La Cúpula, és incidir en les escoles per fer pedagogia del valor de la producció agropecuària en l’àmbit rural. Ha estat molt interessant ja que la cúpula permet endinsar-se en un forn de pa encès, sentir la llet acabada de munyir o veure com surt l’oli del primer raig, aquestes  són algunes de les experiències que proposa.

Descobrim el projecte a CS

Quina emoció!!! La descoberta del projecte amb una scape plena de proves i reptes. Navàs podria arribar a ser un poble de costa???
