STORYTELLING: LET'S CLEAN THE FOREST

Pupils on 1st and 2nd Grade enjoyed participating in the Story called: "Let's clean the forest"
Foxes, rabbits, deers, moles, squirrels, robins, owls etc... lived happy in the forest. but one day... a group of humans came to have a picnic and left all the rubbish there. The animals were so sad, and worried about that.
Then, the wise owl organized a  meeting in the forest . They decided to work as a team and pick up all the rubbish in a clever way. recycle everything and put it inside the correct bins.
Finally they made signs to inform the Humans that they need to keep the forest and nature clean.

After the story, all the pupils made their own recycling bins.
We enjoyed and learnt a lot together!

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

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

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”.
