We thank you all..

We recycled old newspapers and made new paper with it. It’s something we make every year and we like it very much. This year we made small notebooks with the cover made by us and the sheets inside are of commercial recycled paper. We made natural inks:
Green – smashed spinach
Orange: curry
Brown: coffee
Purple: beetroot
Dark yellow: saffron
Yellow: egg
We wrote and made drawings with feathers from a nice rooster, like our ancestors made. It’s funny, but not easy.
Do you want to try?

SHOPING BAGS: Our kids decorated shoping bags with markers.They enjoyed that!
WASTE SEPARATION: Every month our kids collect paper with their parents, then they bring it to kindergarten and after that all waste-paper is colected by the local waste manager company. We do the same with plastic waste.
GIVE A HAND: We have tradition – organize joint work, then kids with they parents, grandparents, relatives come to kindergarten and help to keep our park clean. The place is becoming nicer every year.

Enjoy them…and please notice at your Greek-Book-file from your postman which will be your own!

Children from Winnie the Pooh group made a Eeyore from paper and paper scrolls. At first we made a donkey’s body – using a pattern, then we folded paper and glued it, from paper scrolls made legs for Eeyore. After some time Winnie the Pooh recieved a herd of donkeys.

This year we participated, once more, in the Carnival Parade with all schools from our Municipality. Thinking about the environment, we tried to make all costumes recycling materials as plastic bags and coffee bags. We all made a Medieval Royal Court with the King and Queen, the Bishop, many Princesses, many Jesters and many Soldiers. We all had a great time…

Continuing our Environmental Project we asked for a compost bin to our garden. We began collecting dried leaves at our playground and, after putting some twigs we put alternately, fruits, vegetables and dry yard clippings. In some weeks we will have “compost“ that’s a very good material for our plants in our kitchen garden as a natural fertilizer. At the same time we are contributing to reduce the greenhouse effect reducing solid waste.

We have taken part of “Readers’s Seeds” Exhibition. There was a story called “Lili Notte or an explanation about differences for kids”. The author, Babette LE GAC,  has taken recycled materials and stage different scenes in 18 painted and decorated vine boxes! One box is like one page in a book…
1- Lili Notte is a little girl who is full of complexes because she is very tall, so she begins a “world tour” for seeing how are the others humans
2- The first thing she can see is that all of us were babies at the beginning of our life but ones are black, others white and even black AND white!
3- She understands there are many people of different colors in the world
4- The first difference is between girl and boy )))
5- The word is like a “palette”
6- She falls in love but she doesn’t know how to say “I love you” to her friend because she doesn’t speak the same language (( and she is afraid that he doesn’t like tall girls (((
7- She can see that our houses are different all over the world
8- Our hand writings are also different
9- Our clothes are different
10- Our ways of moving are different
11- Our ways of eating are different
12- Our dances are different
13- Our ways of loving are different
14- We don’t all believe in the same god
15- Our families are different: just a woman and a man; one, two, three or more children; a woman with her children and a man with his children and THEIR children,etc…
16- The world would be very sad if we were all the same
17- She says: “Look at you in a mirror: you are UNIQUE and it’s GREAT ))))”
18- Differences are also in things and it’s GREAT )))
19- Lili Notte has seen all the world and she says : “I’m too tall, too dreamy, too greedy, a little bit envious but I’M ME “LILI NOTTE”, I’M UNIQUE, A FINE LOOKING GIRL AND IT’S REALLY GREAT ))))
My kids have really love this story and the way Babette LE GAC have told it. Her work is really marvelous: it’s a great pleasure for eyes and such a great idea to show how our differences are a treasure we can share….

We have made this little “colored man” with recycled materials: the paper come from a roll (failure recovered at printer enterprise); a joiner give us the wood cylinders. We have glued a ball of paper on the cylinder to make the head and then we have recovered the hall whith little pieces of paper. We have drawn the square pattern and painted some spaces. The legs and arms are made with electric wire. This “colored man” illustrate our work about difference and the african poem:

When I’m born, I was dark

When I have grown, I was dark

When I’m afraid, I’m dark

When I’m cold, I’m dark

When I’m sick, I’m dark

When I’m under sun, I’m dark

BUT YOU WHITE MAN…

When you’re born, you was PINK

When you have grown, you have became WHITE

When you’re afraid, you are GREEN

When you’re cold, you are BLUE

When you’re sick, you are YELLOW

When you go under sun, you become RED

AND AFTER THAT, YOU DARE TO CALL ME COLORED MAN !

Every year we participate in an ecological campaign for schools, collecting old batteries for recycle. This campaign is supported by a big national supermarket. This year all local community was involved and our kindergarten was the best in our region collecting batteries. The award was 1000 € in books for our library. With these books we will make an itinerant library for all kindergartens of our community. We’ve just received the books.

As you can see we are all very happy!

Pupils made ‘music instruments’ by waste-scroll paper..they agreed to collect them only from school usage, a month ago, and now here we are ..with feathers decoration outside and lentil inside!

We collected many plastic stoppers from water bottles, yoghurts and different plastic containers. We took all the plastic to the local media (radio and newspaper). There they keep all the plastic stoppers, until they have 1000 kilos of it. There is a factory that recycles the plastic stoppers and offers a wheel chair. The local media offered already 5 wheel chairs to different social institutions. We are glad to say that we helped not only those institutions but also the environment.
