Trip to England in May

I Maj besökte vi Churchdown village infant school . Där fick vi vara med på en storsamling där alla partnerländer presenterade sitt land för barnen. Efteråt var vi i en klass där de arbetade med frågor om Sverige. 

Vi var även med år 2 på en resa till Bristol där vi besökte ett vetenskapscenter. Barnen fick prova olika experiment och lära sig mer om fossiler.

En förmiddag besökte vi förskola som hade barn från ca 4 månader till 4 år . Vi fick en rundvandring i huset och chefen presenterade verksamheten .

Traffic surveys by Sweden

Vi sammanställer MILJÖUTMANINGEN med ett diagram, hur tog vi oss till förskolan under veckan GÅ CYKEL eller BIL.

- We complied the environmental challenge by using a graph , how we get to the kindergarten during the week. Walk , bike or car.

Vi började räkna hur många som gått och pappret räckte precis. Sedan tog vi cykel, det var mycket mindre! Sist räknade vi bil oj oj , det var jätte många, ska pappret räcka? Vi fick lov att förlänga pappret. 

- We started counting how many that walked and the paper was just enough. Then we took and counted how many who used bike , it was much lesser! At last we counted how many who used car , oh oh it was very many , Will the paper suffice? We had to extend the paper.

Frågor som kom upp: Vad är miljö? Vad är bra/dåligt för miljön? Varför väljer vi bil fast vi inte behöver? Om det hade varit sommar med sol och värme under veckan , hade det då sett annorlunda ut? 

- Questions that came up : What is the environment? What's good/bad for the environment? Why do we choose to take the car even tho we dont need to? If it was summer with sun and warmth during the week , would it then had looked diffrently. 

Barnen sa : miljön är naturen. Det är bra för benen att gå! Man kan plocka upp skräp när man går! Bilar släpper ut bensin! Det kan bli märken på vägen av bilar. 

- The children Said : Enviroment is the nature. It's good for the legs to walk. You can pick up trash while you walk.

Cars releases petrol. Cars may leave marks on the road.

Det kan vara jobbigt att gå. Det kan vara kallt . - Föräldrarna kanske måste göra något sen. - att man bor långt borta , t.ex landet. -

It can be tiring to walk , it can be too cold , the parents may have something to do later or that you live too far away. 

Det skulle vara NOLL på bil och HUNDRA på dom andra! - om det är långt kan man stanna och dricka. - Det är bäst att gå och cykla det är också bra för benen.

 - It should be ZERO at the car stack and HUNDRED at the other ones. If It's too long you can stop and grab something to drink.  It's for the best to walk and cycling , it also good for the legs.

Lucia in Sweden

Next week we have a tradition in Sweden called Lucia.

Lucia is a holiday celebrated on December 13 and the name of the feast protagonist. In Sweden, Christmas celebration starts with Lucia Day and with Advent. The Swedish Lucia is a mixture of both pre-Christian and Christian figures and a saint in the Roman Catholic Church originating from Sicily. The word Lucia comes from the Latin lux, meaning light. The tradition of Lucia procession originated in Sweden in the late 1800s.

Lucia procession has always a Lucia, wearing a long, white dress with a chandelier on her head and a red ribbon on the belly. Lucia followed by the "tärnor", in identical white long dress that Lucia but with glitter in their hair and on the waist and a candle in her hand. After them, sometimes follow "stjärngossar" who are dressed in white dresses and with a "starcone" on his head covered with stars and a star-decorated stick in hand. When Lucia procession consist of children they often even includes Santa Claus and boys/girls dressed as gingerbread. Lucia procession performance Lucia songs, carols and verse reading.

Traffic surveys by Spain

Traffic surveys 

This month, our students start to work on exploring effects of traffic pollution and how it can be reduced

Ways to avoid traffic pollution.

- Each time our students go out on an excursion they will fill out a survey with data related to traffic such as amount of cars/buses or bikes they see, people in a car, cycle paths, urban buses, and so on. These activities are for third and fourth level students (7, 8 and 9 years old).

-  After filling the surveys, they will analyze tests results and make their own graphs or charts.

- Of course, they will try their best to find answers and propose how to solve what they consider must be changed.

- They investigate in the classroom using maths or science lessons to do so.

- Surveys for the families in order to know their daily habits.

- They will work on wall charts to show the others classrooms what they have been working on.

- Watching documentaries or short films about pollution during the lessons.

- Show them how to act responsibly when walking by means of different activities:

* Participating in “Chiquimoto” at school.

* Traffic education program at school.

* Reading books related to driving education.
