Pupils in Year 3 (Grade 8) College JS Pons

Shall we tell you the way we decorated our Christmas tree? First, we picked up all the waste from the court yard. This is part of the “Eco-Ecole” 2011/12/13 environment campaign. Then, we decided to use the waste to decorate our tree so: 1. we used plastic gloves in order to keep our hands

clean; 2. afterwards, we used fishing thread: we tied it around

wrappers in order to make Christmas bows; 3. eventually, we took cans and tied fishing thread

(again) to hang the cans on our Xmas tree branches. We hope you like our Xmas tree. We think it is colourful and easy to make.

Anna Sintija, Latvia

Nowadays people do not use CDs very often. Anna Sintija found a very creative way how these CDs could be useful.

She collected 38 CDs (there was even a campaign at school - donate useless CDs) and she made flowers from CDs.

Page 11: Having fun while recycling: christmas crafts

She heated the discs, when they became softer she folded them until they got an appropriate shape.

These flowers will never fade, they are everlasting!!!

Sergejs made a spine (a nail in the cardboard) for the tree and folded the paper to make "the branches" for the paper fir tree.

Sergejs is 9 years old. He made a wonderful Christmas tree from used paper.

They sticked on a thin layer of plastic a Christmas tissue; then they glued all around it a golden piping.

Eleni, Greece

Eleni describes how she crafted her Christmas ball :

Nikos Ch., Greece

Firstly you buy a styrofoam ball. Then you cut 2 old CDs into small pieces and you stick the pieces on the ball. But you can't stick all pieces together. You have to wait until the first round dries and then you can go on. As soon as you finish gluing, put the ribbon with the pin in the ball. Now it's ready!!!!

Vangelis, Greece

Hi, I'm Nick Salpistis and I will describe how I made the ball. To create the ball I used half box glitter, small pieces of an old cd and a ball of polystyrene. Firstly, I bought the ball, then I cut the cd into small pieces and I sticked them on the ball. Finally I put on the ball glitter!

Hi, I am Vangelis from Greece and I made a Christmas ball from Polystyrene. I used old CDs (which were broken into pieces), Xmas grass and a flower. This ball can be used to decorate a Xmas tree.
