Exploring our schoolyard ecosystem

Green geometrical pattern

Now,it is time to meet the trees.So,there is the first one.Its name is Arizona.They estimate its height,measure the circumference of the trunk and as a result its resin makes their hands sticky.

This is the end of a short journey into our school ecosystem but the Let's Go Green project is here to make sure that another one is about to begin.

Suddenly,what do they see? An itsy bitsy spider standing on a fallen leaf , showing them that it is a part of the school ecosystem,too.

Now,it is time to get back inside to gather all the information and material needed to complete the project.They collect leaves in bags ,some fallen leaves some taken from the trees or plants.

Finally ,they meet the Plane (Platanus) tree. It seems difficult to measure its trunk since it is wide enough but they manage it.

Then,they observe the Acacia and keep notes about that tree.

They work in groups.They use leaves to recreate the trees and plants they met and they create their IDs.These IDs include information about the name,the height,the circumference of the trunk,whether it is evergreen or not,the leaf and the use of the tree/plant.

Next to the roses ,they  see the Rosemary.They can't help noticing how beautiful it smells.

This is the story of 9 pupils who are in E class. One sunny day ,they decide to explore the beautiful ecosystem in their schoolyard.

They first meet the Rose.They observe ,they measure and keep notes.How tall is it,what is the circumference of the trunk,is it evergreen or deciduous,why do we grow it?

So,they take their notebooks,pencils, bags,measures,measuring tapes and begin their journey into the world of their school ecosystem.
