Recycling food waste to make compost

Μια μορφή ανακύκλωσης είναι η κομποστοποίηση.
Στον κάδο κομποστοποίησης  προσπαθούμε να φτιάξουμε λίπασμα για τα φυτά του σχολικού μας κήπου! Παράλληλα μειώνουμε την ποσότητα των απορριμμάτων  που καταλήγουν στις χωματερές ή ΧΥΤΑ!

Our ENVIRONMENTAL GLOSSARY

Καθόσον ασχολούμαστε με το project της Διαχείρισης των Σκουπιδιών, συναντάμε συνεχώς νέες λέξεις, που θέλουμε να μάθουμε τι σημαίνουν. Έτσι προέκυψε η ανάγκη να δημιουργήσουμε ένα γλωσσάρι για το περιβάλλον. Στο γλωσσάρι συγκεντρώνουμε τις λέξεις της κάθε θεματικής ενότητας που εξετάζουμε, σε σχέση με την αειφορία.   Το γλωσσάρι αρχικά είναι σε ηλεκτρονική μορφή  και έτσι μας δίνεται η ευκαιρία να επανεξετάζουμε τις λέξεις  μας και να προσθέτουμε νέες, με αλφαβητική σειρά. Στο τέλος κάθε ενότητας εκτυπώνουμε το επιμέρους γλωσσάρι της!

Key words: informational texts, glossary, vocabulary enrichment, word mapping, eco, environment, sustainability

On Tuesday, October the 30th our Kindergarten visited the Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Chaniaand more specifically the  Mediterranean Plant Conservation unit. Children had the chance to see first hand the Seed Bank the Herbarium and the Botanical Garden of the MAICH.

we learned how the scientists collect the seeds from the plants how they study them on the stereoscope and how they conservate them. We saw some of our endemic and endagered flora species. At the end of the visit MAICH shared with us some herb seeds and some seeds of Pancratium maritimum" so that we can plant them in our Botanical Garden, back in  our schoolyard.
