Making ecological bags in Poland

Self-moving vehicles in Poland

Polish pupils have made paper boats which have managed to flow with the help of the wind and water currents. Here you can see the links to short films documenting our work:

Ecological, moveable machine constructed by class IV c

It`s half a car- half a yacht. The base of the vehicle is a piece of  foamed polystyrene  wrapped around by old fabrics , a sail is made of linen and wooden barbecue sticks. The most difficult part of our project was the way the machine should be moved- how to connect the driving axle (wooden sticks ) with wheels (plastic caps from bottles) to the main part of the vehicle ?!

But finally our inventor FILIP solved the problem – he used old metal clothes clips and some plasticine !

We tried to give the movement to the vehicle by blowing into the sail. At first  we practiced with the power of  our lungs (the results weren`t satisfied ) then we used the stream of air produced by hairdryer. Although our vehicle moved not too far the young inventors were happy!!!

Displays of project work in Poland

Our pupils and teachers have prepared Comenius project displays that can be seen in our local library and on our school corridor walls. There you can see our collection of artworks, crafts and booklets made by the children from Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Spain and Poland. Here you can look at some photos showing the displays:

Polish children have collected their works in the portfolios which can be seen in our local library.

Outdoor Learning in Frankfurt

We visited the zoo and learned about the giraffes. The newborn baby-giraffe stayed close to its mother. We saw sea lions and the seals outside and inside the water.

Sticks for our new raised-bed garden that will be installed in the school-yard were collected. We also built a tipi made of long sticks. It was nice to see the blooming spring-flowers.

A Car – driven by Air

The children built a car and started a car race.

What we needed was:

·         A piece of board of a rectangular shape

·         Board for the wheels

·         2 drinking straws

·         2 cocktail sticks

·         Cord

·         The cap of a detergent bottle

·         1 Balloon

Tools:

·         Scissors

·         Glue

·         Adhesive tape

·         Pencil

The drinking straws are fixed at the board with the adhesive tape. Through the straws the cocktail sticks are pushed. At the ends of the cocktail sticks the wheels with a diameter of about 5 cm are fixed. Now the balloon is pulled as far as possible over the cap of a detergent bottle. On top of one of the axis a ca. 30 cm long piece of cord is fixed with adhesive tape. This cord is needed to fix the nozzle. Now the balloon can be inflated. The air is escaping through the nozzle and the car races can start.

Technology solutions day Iceland

Technology solutions day March 18^th 2014

Technology solutions day was taken seriously here with us in 4 grade. During the school day, it was decided not to use any kind of technology it was also decided to save electricity in the way and we had turned off the lights. It was a part-day, that day and the students went home earlier than usual or at 11:20.

Students received a checklist that had filled out and submitted to the teacher how the day had gone.

Were put forward ideas about what could be done, such as playing, Craft, pearl, drawing, coloring, reading, puzzles, playing and chatting.

Students wrote down what they did after school and include minutes if the device had been used as televisions and computers.

0-5 minutes	6-60 minutes	More than 60 minutes
80%	8%	12%

Fun was also read what the students had to write about what they had done and was dragged as many parents and siblings of a project.
