HAPPY VELENTINE'S DAY

2009-02-14T12:12:00.000-08:00

Women's Day is is celebrated in Poland on March the 8th of each year but it becomes less popular and the new tradition incorporated into our customs and celebrations is Valentine's Day (in Polish: Walentynki)It has not been celebrated in Poland until very recently but it seems to be enjoyed by everyone, especially teenagers.Young people know tricks to express their feelings like for example: sending Valentines Day bouquets, e-cards, buying sweets, inventing chat up lines ...- but the most valuable ever are homemade valentine cards.
We also celebrate Valentines Day at school. We decorate our classrooms, we write messages for the ones we like on the cards which are deliverded to them by special messengers.
There are also some talented students who write short poems to be presented on the special board. We listen to and sing some love songs and sometimes we have a performance at school prepared by our students.

2008-10-31T13:24:00.000-07:00

Batteries contain a range of metals which are harmful to human health and the environment, including in some cases the hazardous heavy metals lead, cadmium and mercury. Collecting and recycling waste batteries prevents these substances from getting into the environment and saves energy and natural resources, EU Commission informs.

In each classroom there's a battery collection container.
Students drop off their used batteries into this containers.
There are two big containers used as the main collection bins for the school.
Smaller containers once weighed are emptied into these bins for collection.
Students are encouraged to participate through the use of competitions between classes.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

THE LIVING PLANET

2008-10-25T09:17:00.000-07:00

"Our planet, the Earth, is, as far as we know, unique in the universe. It contains life. Even in its most barren stretches, there are animals. Around the equator, where those two essentials for life, sunshine and moisture, are most abundant, great forests grow. And here plants and animals proliferate in such numbers that we still have not even named all the different species. Here, animals and plants, insects and birds, mammals and man live together in intimate and complex communities, each dependent on one another. Two thirds of the surface of this unique planet are covered by water, and it was here indeed that life began. From the oceans, it has spread even to the summits of the highest mountains as animals and plants have responded to the changing face of the Earth."

– David Attenborough
