From October 23 to 29
we carried out two more
project meetings. We vis-
ited the Belgian partner
school Sint Jan
Berchmansschool in Viv-
ersel from 23 to 26 Octo-
ber and then the Italian
school G. Borsi in Livorno
from 26 to 29 October.
Both meetings were very
successful and we were all
very busy carrying out the
meetings‘ agendas. We
had teaching sessions in
both schools, planted a
tree in the school gar-
dens, met with the par-
ents and enjoyed the stu-
dents‘ performance in Bel-
gium.
Our meetings also in-
cluded some visits to
places of environmental
interest in both countries.
In Belgium we visited the
―Closing the circle pro-
ject‖ which is a factory
and a dump where the
rubbish that can‘t be re-
cycled is buried and en-
ergy is produced in the
factory.
In Italy we visited the
Museum of Natural His-
tory and the Aquarium of
Livorno and we also ex-
perienced a nice walk
along a protected natural
area with pine trees,
dunes and sand beaches in
Cecina.
We would like to thank
the Headteachers and
teachers of both host
schools who offered us a
very warm and unforget-
table hospitality.

Visit at Ålborg
University
5.Grade was at Ålborg Uni-
versity for a day – having
workshops about 1) en-
ergy, how to store the en-
ergy from wind power and
2) how to build in the fu-
ture.
2 architects from the uni-
versity told us about how it
is possi-
ble to
make

and how

all want houses and buildings,

then were given the things needed
to try and make their own sugges-
tions on areas to live. You see
some of their results here:
those weeks, we have an extra focus
on waste and recycling.
2.,3.,4.,and.5th grades have learned a
lot about what to do with waste, how
do we recycle and especially: How
big a difference it makes to our en-
vironment, if we recycle all the
waste we can – from our homes and
households as well.
All the classes had different
streets in our village to cover, and
they collected so much waste right
there on the street, that other peo-
ple had just thrown there. So not
From the 24th oct. – 11th Nov. Our
school participated in the national
competition ―Dåserydderen‖. In
only did they clean our environment –
they saw for themselves how stupid
it is, to just throw something out
your car window etc. instead of
bringing it to the waste bin or recy-
cle it. We will continue to have this
focus on waste the next month.

selves to do different things, meas-
ure on different light bulbs etc. It
was then very clear to us, that it
makes a big difference what bulbs
you use, if you turn off the power,
when not being in a room etc. What a
big difference WE can make.
This day was very interesting and
inspiring – we sure want to go next
year again. Not only have we learned
a lot about our environment, but also
been and seen how the university
and students there live, learn, work
–a possible education for some of
the children in 5th grade.
In another workshop, we had an en-
gineer in power current teaching us,
what the challenge is to ―save‖
power from wind turbines. When the
wind blows, it´s not always the
times, when people and factories
needs the power. How do we store
the energy without loosing to much?
How do we save it until needed??
After the lesson in the auditorium,
we went to the house, where univer-
sity students make experiments on
power and electricity. We tried our-

to know the seasons.
On those days we go to either the
forest or to the fjord. We collect
materials from nature,
take these back to school
and use them in class af-
terwards.
In the spring we went to
the fjord, and found many
interesting small animals.

sideration in nature, and they learn

difference does it make, if you use a
lot of imported foods for your cook-
ing? How long did your pizza (for
instance) ―travel‖ if you look at,
what you put on it? Instead of using
locally grown vegetables and locally
produced meat?
We plan with this in mind, looking at
maps and figure out how much trans-
portation is needed, if you do not
take an environmental look at your
cooking style.
In 6th grade we have cooking-classes
at Sennels Skole. We learn about
how to behave in the kitchen, about
hygiene, how to cook etc. For the
time being our big focus is – how can
you cook for the climate?? What

Pumpkin heads
Our first class has been on an out
day home at one of the boys from
the class. They made a pumpkin
head, they used as lanterns for Hal-
loween.
Friday 4 November was the first class at Sen-
nels School again on a day out. They were this
time in the woods where they were at an orienta-
tion, race. The class should find its way through
the woods using a map. During the trip they had
to pass 10 items all of which contained questions
about one of the forest animals: the squirrel.
ing their own stand is important to
visualise the progresses each stu-
dent achieve.
We also have rules for cleaning up
the classroom (who does what
when..)
And we have hung up a traffic signal.
When the red light is up the stu-
dents must be absolutely quiet while
working. When the yellow light is up
they can talk quietly and when the
green light is up they
can talk freely.
The abovementioned rules are part
of securing the personal well being
of each student. We have these
kinds of rules in all of our classes
and we note that it helps the stu-
dents felling responsible towards
their class, their friends and all of
In the second grade the children
have made class rules. Rules con-
cerning their behaviour towards
each other, how they must work and
behave in a group, their attitude
towards homework and preparations
for school in general and so on.
Twice a year the students evaluate
them selves according to the rules.
Setting the rules together as a class
is part of a democratic learning
process for the student and evaluat-

―Sun oven‖
When looking for solutions using the sun instead of eletric-
ity, it is possible to make a sun-oven. The temperature can
get high enough to cook water, bread, vegetables etc. Very
usefull in places with a lot of sun and no electricity.
Here some groups of students made experiments how to
make a sun-oven and how to use it.
Is another national competition our
school participated. For 2 weeks, we
all, children and grownups, go as
much as possible on bicycle to school
for different reasons. To focus on
not using the car for short drives,
when it´s really not necessary,
bringing down pollution and use of
fossil fuels and to make the roads
safer for all of us and – of course –
to have natural exercise in fresh air,
to move and be active for health and
fun reasons.
In September we had the scientific
weeks, where we, in nature, science,
technic- lessons made a lot of dif-
ferent experiments concerning the
environment and own health.
3 classes went to the scientific fes-
tival in Ålborg, where we spent the
day going to many different and ex-
iting workshops. How does our body
function? What do our organs look
like? Blow air into lungs of a pig, to
see how they work, how does your
own DNA look?, what does it matter,
if you are smoking? What can pollu-
tion do to you? Scientific experi-
ments, hands on experiments etc. It
was a feast in science!!!
―We All cycle to school‖
2. We are going to produce the
―Green wordbook ― which will con-
tain 52 environmental words in Eng-
lish as well as the languages spoken
in the partner countries. There will
also be a sentence in English for
each word explaining the meaning of
word and the illustrations will be
made by the students.
3. The Danish, Belgian, Cypriot ,
Greek and Italian schools applied
and got the European Quality Label
so now we will apply for the eTwin-
ning European Competition.
4. The next meeting will be in Portu-
gal from 11.2 to 16.2. 2012 and the
final one in Poland from 16.4.-20.4.
2012.
5. We will exchange Christmas
cards .
6. Our students will write a story
book in common. The story will have
environmental content. The Cypriot
students will begin the story, the
Greeks will continue it and then the
Italians, the Portuguese students,
the Belgians, the Romanians, the
Polish students and finally the Dan-
ish students will write the end of
the story. Thus our story will
―travel‖ throughout Europe and our
heroes will solve the environmental
problems we are facing in our coun-
tries. The Cypriot coordinator, Mr
Panikkos Xiourouppas, will try to
find sponsors to print books, other-
wise the story will come out in CDs
as well as online.
Of course we have to mention our
Comenius project meeting in Belgium
and Italy. We had a wonderful stay
in both countries, learned a lot about
some of their projects and environ-
mental challenges, and had a great
time teaching children there about
our work with the ―Go green, go
clean, act now‖ project.
During the project meetings we dis-
cussed about the following subjects:
1. We decided to make a teacher‘s
book, describing our teaching ses-
sions during our meetings in the
partner schools. The book will con-
tain the teaching plan we used in-
cluding aims and methods , list of
materials, ―how to do‖ and back-
ground knowledge for the teachers.

Actions that will last
throughout 2011 –
2012
We have to reduce the
emission of CO2
because …
Millions of people in the South are
struck by climate changes:
extreme heavy rains, extreme
heath and dryness, poor harvest,
floods, …
The South cannot be pay the bill
for what the North has done to
the climate.
Therefore we have to act NOW
and TOGETHER.
We want to do actions to increase
pressure for an international
climate agreement.
We have the possiblilty to sign
our own ―CLIMATE
AGREEMENT‖, offered by the
organisation 11.11.11.
The actions we will do:
1. Again a car less on
the street !
If we can, we will walk or take the
bike instead of using the car. Our
children will receive a plate to
attach on the handle-bar of their
bicycle, with the words ―AGAIN
A CAR LESS‖.
2. We try to be careful
not to waste energy.
a. September: the last one
switches off the light before
leaving the room !
b. October: switch off all the
electric machines completely (not
stand-by)!
c. December: don‘t lay
anything on the radiator !
d. January: wash your hands
with cold water !
e. February: every day ―Thick
Sweaters Day‖ !
f. March: is the heating on?
Close all the windows and doors !
g. May: order in the
refrigerator !
h. June: the sun is shining,
make profit of it, go outside !

3. I drink tap
water !
By stimulating the drinking
of tap water, we try to
reduce the transportation of
water which includes less
trains, trucks, refrigerators
… which means less CO2 in
the air‘.
We also try to avoid litter
by reducing the amount of
plastic bottles.
Our school has the ambition
to become a ‗tap water only‘-
area as soon as possible. our
All our students received a bottle
(sponsored by the company of tap
water) which they bring to school
every day, filled with tap water.

(September 2011).
The people of the BOFS, aliens,
have noticed fom outer space that
there is a black, dark veil
surrounding the planet Earth.
The Earth obviously needs help !
What a pollution ! What a waste
of energy !
The BOFS contact Ran, the
traveller, if they can use his house
as a base on Earth.
This base is named BOF-LAND.
From here, Ran and The Bofs tell
our children how they can help

May — June 2011
In May and June we collected a lot of vegetables from our vegetable garden. We made fresh salads
and traditional Greek dishes with our tomatoes, cucumbers, courgettes and aubergines.
At the end of the school year, the students of the 1st grade acted a play, written by their teacher
Mr. Ilias Trontsios, about the endangered species and in June we participated in the Schools‘ Eco
festival in our Educational District.
During the last two months of the previous
school year, 2010—2011, we carried out some
more activities. We participated in the Comenius
Week 2011 and
planted some flowers
in the small school
garden.
Two of last year‘s activities are
still in action this year. The eco
patrol and the school garden.
The sixth graders are responsi-
ble of advising the younger stu-
dents to keep the school prem-
ises clean as well as to plant
vegetables in the school garden.
So, this year they planted some
lettuce, broccoli and cauli-
flowers.
The 5th and 6th grades had a
visit to an environmental
centre and learned a lot about
solar and wind energy.
We applied for the National
eTwinning competion.
This year we are going to work
on the sea, energy and air
pollution. We have merged our
Comenius –etwinning project
with the Eco projects of our
Educational District.
Finally, we presented to our
students the meetings in Bel-
gium and Italy and we are
now making the Christmas
cards we are going to send
to the partner schools.

Project visits to Belgium and Italy 23-26 October 2011
Two new project visits for our “Go Green, Go Clean” people. We, the Italian delegation, enjoyed them so
much and will keep very nice memories in our hearts. In Viversel, Flemish Belgium, we had the pleasure
to show our students’ work on Tuscan’s Islands. By a Power Point presentation we took our pictures and
information on typical plants and animals living there. The Belgian students talked to us and let us know
all they know about Italy and its landmarks, including pasta, pizza and tiramisù! The meeting with teach-
ers, students and community was really enjoyable.

It was also nice to take all to-
gether the same flight from Maas-
tricht to Pisa. We, 22 teachers and
headteachers jumped on the plane
for another three-day adventure
down to Italy. As we did in Bel-
gium, we planted a new tree

Hi everybody!
Here we are again for another Comenius year!
This is what we have been doing since the school year started in September:
- Teachers‘ meetings in order to organize 2011/2012 activities;
- School website and Comenius corner updating;
- We joined the school‘s English Club and organized a Halloween Parade - ―The most ecological
fancy dress‖. All the costumes were made out of recycled materials and old clothes;
- We accepted a mobile phones company challenge to launch dozens of biodegradable balloons
with environmental messages. We participated with 500 students.
- We finished the environment wordlist and the drawings for the common wordbook;
- We started the ―free garden plots‖ project. We selected the spots, gave them to the inter-
ested classes, wrote letters and e-mails to local institutions to ask for gardening tips, plants

At the end of the school-year
2010-2011 and of our first
Comenius year, students from
2nd grade from Horlesti-Rediu
school did participated in a per-
formance in front of the other
students and parents with a
theatre piece about animals and
human behaviours. They real-
ised costumes recycled materi-
als and we choose a natural dé-
cor (in front of our school).
With this occasion, our head-
master realised a disemination
of the first year within our
Comenius part-
nership to our
students, their
parents and
other represen-
tatives of the
local community.
For a national project called
―Let‘s do it, Romania!‖ held this
year on 24th of September, stu-
dents from primary level from

To prepare for the lessons held in the 4th project meeting, students from Rediu school realised a
3D eco-tree with colours of autumn. Mihai was their teacher and they enjoyed doing fun with recy-
cled papers and colours.
At the beginning of the second
school-year of our partnership
(2011-2012), in our institution
it was necessairy to renew the
team of teachers because many
of them changed their school.
Before that, the coordinator
made a dissemination at the
staff council (6th of October),
than at the meeting between
parents, school administration
and the major of Rediu com-
mune on 9th of October 2011.
With the help of our students,
we realised a mini-shop of re-
used toys and books collected
from them, hand-made art-
crafts and other objects. With
money received from their sell-
ing we want to help some stu-
dents from disadvantaged
families from both villages:
Rediu and Horlesti. This action
will continue till the Easter
holiday 2012.

Lozba-Stirbuleac was invited to
share information about this
project as a good example for
other teachers, stakeholders,

pants. Also, results and infor-
mations about this project,

Our students of the fifth
grade were able to learn a lot
about the nature, they saw rare
examples of plants and some
animals living in this area. Our
Portuguese friends joined us
and we had wonderful moments
there. The students made
friends and shared experi-
ences. They became aware of
man‘s influence on the environ-
ment and became familiar with
rules which must be abidden by
in the national park. We also
visited Gdansk (the historical
city), Ustka (one of the most
popular seaside resorts) and
Kluki (a local skansen). Our stu-
dents really enjoyed their com-
