PARTNERS’ MEETING ,SAN MARCELLO ,ITALY 14th May — 18th May 
Classes 5 and 6 visited Lake Agra-Nisiou-Vritton in early March . The lake was artificially created during the 50s to cover the needs in water of a small hydroelectric power plant of the Public Electricity Board, but rapidly developed into an area with particular ecological interest, since it hosts and supports a great number of bird species.The wet meadows, the aquatic vegetation and the water create in the area of springs a unique natural scenery. 
Last February an expert came to our school and spoke to us about
environment and what we can do to take care of it.
Our children learnt that we safeguard the environment when…
we don’t leave the appliances such as TV, DVD… plugged in
we prefer products without packaging
we rather have a shower than a bath
we recycle paper, plastic, aluminium…
we don’t leave any rubbish in the environment
we have a walk and don’t use our car
we use rechargeable batteries
Villa Barberi Primary School – third class
Our students visited a recycling centre in February. We went to a factory that produces paper from… paper!
I nostri alunni hanno visitato una industria della carta che utilizza come materia prima la carta da macero recuperata per mezzo della raccolta differenziata.
Paper coming from separate collection of household waste is pressed, baled and stored in an orderly way.
La carta proveniente dalla raccolta differenziata viene pressata, imballata e immagazzinata ordinatamente.
Paper bales are pushed over a conveyer belt and get to the “pulper”, where water and paper make a mixture.
Le balle di carta vengono spinte su un nastro trasportatore e finiscono nel “pulper”, dove l’acqua e la carta sminuzzata sono mescolate e ridotte in poltiglia.
The mixture is filtered, pressed and dried in big hot cylinders… and that’s done! A new paper is ready for a new life!
La poltiglia viene filtrata, pressata ed essiccata passando attraverso grandi cilindri riscaldati… ed ecco! Della nuova carta è pronta per una nuova vita!

This is a craft made by the students of the 3rd class.It depicts a figure of a woman called Kyra-Sarakosti (Lady Sarakosti/Lent) cut out of a sheet of paper.She has no mouth (because she never eats),her hands joined together in prayer and at the bottom of her long skirt seven little feet are projected,one of each of the weeks of fasting.Every Saturday one foot is cut off,the last one on Holy Saturday,the day before Easter Sunday.This last foot is inserted into a dry fig or a walnut,bringing luck to the finder.
The kites that are all around,is another custom in Greece.Every year on Clean Monday,the Greek people,young andold alike,can be seen out in the countryside,flying kites.

Hello! Hi! Welcome! Welcome to our bloog. We are the students of Primary School in Gniewkowo. We are 12 years old. We go to the 6th class.”
Our games- “Kolko graniaste” and “Stary niedzwiedz”. These are two games the children in Poland play very often.
The first game is called “K??ko graniaste”. The children stay in a circle and hold hands. They move in accordance with the hand of the clock and sing a song: ” K??ko graniaste, wielokanciaste, K??ko nam si? po?ama?o, cztery grosze kosztowa?o, a my wszyscy b?c”. On the word “B?C” the children bounce and squat.
First the children choose a bear (one child) that squat in the centre. It close the eyes and begin to snore loudly. The rest of the children walk around the bear and sing: “Stary nied?wied? mocno ?pi, stary nied?wied? mocno ?pi, na palcach chodzimy, bo si? go boimy, jak si? zbudzi to nas zje, jak si? zbudzi to nas zje. Pierwsza godzina-nid?wied? ?pi, druga godzina-nied?wied? chrapie, trzecia godzina-nied?wied? ?apie!” On the words “Nied?wied? ?apie!” (The bear is catching”) the children run away and the bear catches one of them. The child who is caught becomes a new bear.
