WHAT TO DO WITH LEFTOVER HALLOWEEN PUMPKINS

admin28/11/21  

Pumpkins are great for making scary lanterns at Halloween! But did you know that you can also make delicious snacks from pumpkins? In class, we watched a video to find out about leftover Halloween pumpkins and our students realized that after carving the pumpkins they didn’t need to waste the inside (pulp and seeds). There’s no point in throwing away leftover pumpkins when we can put them to good use.

Two of our students made “pumpkin soup”  and another student toasted the “pumpkin seeds” and we ate them while we were watching the videos. They were delicious!

So, if you throw food away, it’ll just be a waste of money. Follow our students example!

TAKE ACTION FOR THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS: URGENT SOLUTIONS FOR URGENT TIMES

admin11/11/21  

The United Nations introduced THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDG’s)  in 2015 as a global plan to reduce poverty, protect nature and enable everyone to live in peace and prosperity.

These 17 goals of sustainable development should be achieved by the year 2030. That is just 9 years from now. To achieve the goals, countries, companies, and citizens should all work together, and share the responsibility to spread the word about them.

It is therefore crucial to introduce SDGs to students as well.

In la ZER Conca, the students have already taken actions. We started with these goals by doing the activity “How you go to school …”,  we discovered that we are contributing to air and noise pollution. The majority of students come to school by car instead of walking or cycling.

After taking into consideration the results, we made a decision; to use  alternative transportation as much as possible (scooters, bicycles or our feet (on foot)).

By putting this action into practise, we can kill two birds with one stone, save our planet and keep fit.

You can find more information about SDG’s on the following link. Have a look at it!

ART RUPESTRE A L’ESCOLA

EscolaPira10/11/21  

Els alumnes de Cicle Inicial hem treballat l’art rupestre. El primer que vam fer va ser investigar a través dels llibres que van portar els mateixos alumnes què és això de la Prehistòria. Des de tallers artístics hem pintat amb els nostres propis dits amb cafè i pintures. Els resultats mostren la caça i els animals de l’època.

HISTÒRIES COMPARTIDES

Un curs més ja tenim els padrins de lectura a punt!

La lectura és fonamental en l’educació dels nostres alumnes i per tal de dinamitzar-ne el seu aprenentatge ja fa uns quants cursos que realitzem el projecte de Padrins Lectors. Es tracta d’una activitat cooperativa que consisteix a fer que els alumnes més grans siguen padrins de lectura dels més petits als quals anomenarem fillols i filloles. Això vol dir que cada padrí es compromet a ajudar a aprendre a llegir el seu fillol i/o millorar la seva habilitat lectora, al mateix temps que l’engresca i li encomana el gust per la lectura.
