Ecological actions - Comenius

The presentation was prepared by students from Stanisław Staszic Middle School nr 3 in Starogard Gdańskiwww.uind.eu

As a part of the Comenius project many ecological actions were organized. They were devoted to:• broadening knowledge about making

conclusions, long-term plans and taking into consideration how human can impact on the natural world

• encouraging students to develop their awareness about natural environment and its problems,

• wildlife conservation.

Clean Up the WorldIn September 2012

we took part in Clean Up the World Day. The theme was : ‘Discover Poland!’.

Students cleaned up trash around our school. Later they

recycled it and disposed separately in

recycling bins.

„Exchange paper for a tree”The campaign is annually organized by Polpharma, an

international pharmaceutical company, which has its seats in Starogard Gdański.

This year on 20 April the company organized a collection of paper, glass, old batteries etc. Our students took an active part in this event. They established a waste-paper collection centre in our school. For their work the students received different types of plants (e.g. tree seedlings, garden plants, flowers) and ecological gadgets.

Tree plantingThis is another ecological activity, which we executed in May 2013. Students with their chaperons planted tree seedlings in a nursery,

which belongs to the Forestry Commission of Starogard Gdański.

The tree planting was a process that took us a lot of time. We had to learn everything from the

beginning and follow the instructions.1. dig a perfect hole

2. seat a tree in the hole 3. backfill the hole

It was a very hot day!!! But we managed to plant around 800 trees!

This year our students will take part in some similar ecological projects. They want to be eco-friendly in an active way as well as they want to

deepen the awareness of our citizens
