CALENDAR WITH FRUITS

Our Art Club students designed calendars for 2014. First, they designed covers for the calendars. They tried to include the name or flag of each country and the name of our project.

Then they researched and found out the fruits representing each partner country. They printed the templates of the chosen fruits, and coloured them. After colouring they cut them out and used those fruits to decorate their calendars.

THE ENVIRONMENT

Eco-Schools is an international programme of environmental and sustainable developmental education for schools.

Bahçeşehir College ‘Florya’ is member of Eco-Schools.

In cooperation with Science Department, we started our new topic by choosing ‘Environmentalist Heroes’ of our school.

We chose four students from each class and those students were responsible for both running the programme of Eco-Schools activities and our Comenius Project activities.

Tales about the Environment

HOW TO RECYCLE

We organised campaigns for the re-cycling of paper, batteries, lids and electronic waste.

First the ‘Environmentalist Heroes’ introduced the boxes for waste paper, batteries and lids to all the students from each level.

And these boxes were placed in classes and some other specific places around the school.

Each level did in-class activities about recycling.Kindergarten and primary school students created maquettes from cardboard waste.

In secondary school,

All the teachers from all branches emphasized the importance of recycling.

Another group called ‘Academy of Environment’ ran a seminar about recycling electronic waste.

And a group from the municipal council ran a seminar for our secondary school students about recycling glass.

Our secondary school students also took part in the ‘Recycling of Electronic Waste’.

With the help of their Science teachers, the Environmentalist Heroes prepared a brochure for this campaign.

They visited the Technological Waste museum with their teachers.

They created their own slogans for the campaign.

And as a final step they handed in the things that they had collected to the municipal council.

During all these activities they decorated bulletin boards to introduce their contribution to the recycling process.

‘LITTLE ENVIRONMENTALISTS’ SONG

In cooperation with the Music Department, our students sang a song called ‘Küçük Çevreciler’(Little Environmentalists) in their mother tongue.
