Our first workshop...


It was a fantastic workshop today!
We have done so much; kids were great, passionately engaged in all activities, true ECO KIDS!
So we started with putting colour fingerprints on furniture in. We put blue, white and green colours. We found out together that blue is for sky and water, white is for snow and clouds and green is for trees and grass. There was so much fun, children did not want stop doing this. Now we have a lot of these prints:) and we will do even more next time. 




Then we did an experiment about how many empty plastic bottles can fill up trashcan. It was 5 for one group: Zelda, Helena, Maria Jose, Ania and Grace and 6 for the other: Harry, Antek and Wiktor. Then we tried with the smashed ones – wow! It was much more than double! And the cups you can collect for many reasons. That was an experiment with a lot of smashing and laughing!





The pumpkin from the toilet tube and the paper was the art craft we did this time. Every Eco Kid made a great one! We had a lot of pumpkins in the class. I really admired how creative kids were! 








 
The last thing was a candle. It was made of the cardboard from cardboard box, which was reused, and the colour paper from the paper bags. I hope these candles will make some light in your house. 



Kids made them with a pleasure.
It was time to say goodbye then, but we will see each other in a week.
Today we had a great start!
