RECYCLING IS LIFE

This year Italy has a big problem to solve in Naples: the garbage disposal. Our children decided to write something about, because they live in another Italian city where garbage isn't an emergency. People recycle their rubbish. Our pupils thought that all the children have the right to breathe fresh air. They wrote a special tale about a great heroine Miss Trashenergy Recycling. She wants to save Naples children. She challenges Black Dirty Boss to solve some difficult clever games.
This work is in a PowerPoint Presentation so children can play.

Litter Campaign

Children on the Eco-Committee were tired of looking at the litter on the back street. It was blowing into the school woodland area. So we decided it was time to do something about it and clean it up!!!

We wrote letters to the local coucil to ask for help cleaning up the mess. A team of workers came and we all picked up the litter. We now hope this area will stay litter free!

Children from Year 6 created this video using Windows Moviemaker. Take a look! :)

História de Compostagem / Composting Story

Colégio Monte Flor

This film we show you tells the story of a family that turned to composting as a way of improving its quality of life, and consequently contributing to a better environment. To make this model, we used plasticine, what was left of cardboard, plastic bottle caps, cardboard, straws, noodles and a shoe box. After the model was finished, we took over 100 photos, involving characters in several positions. That’s how the film was done, which is then placed on the club blog to be seen by our e-twinning partners, and by everyone who accesses our space.

Este filme que vos mostramos conta a história de uma família que fazia a compostagem de forma a melhorar a sua qualidade de vida, contribuindo para um ambiente melhor. Para fazer esta maquete usámos plasticina, restos de cartolinas, tampas de garrafões, cartão, palhinhas, massas e uma caixa de sapatos. Depois de construída a maquete, tirámos mais de 100 fotografias com as personagens em várias posições e assim fizemos este filme que é colocado no blogue do clube para ser visto pelos nossos parceiros do Programa E-twinning mas também por todos os que acederem a este espaço.

Organic Waste/Lixo Orgânico

Colégio Monte Flor

Our work was done in the Eco-Food Club, by Margarida Rocha, Pedro Sousa and Mafalda Rato, and it aimed explain, in a simple way, what organic waste is.
With plasticine and catrdboard we made food leftovers as well as other living beings, put them afterwards in a plate. We then took photos which we placed in the computer. In the computer we wrote in English what was is each plate.
And that’s how we did our film on Organic Waste.

O nosso trabalho foi realizado no Clube Eco-Food, pela Margarida Rocha, pelo Pedro Sousa e pela Mafalda Rato e teve como objectivo explicar, de uma forma simples, o que é Lixo Orgânico.
Com plasticina e com a cartolina fizemos restos de comida e outros seres vivos e depois colocámo-los num prato. Tirámos fotografias que passámos para o computador. No computador escrevemos em Inglês o que estava dentro do prato. E foi assim que realizámos o nosso filme sobre o Lixo Orgânico.
