ENERGY CLUB In our school, We have
students free activity
clubs.Students choose their
club in first week of the school
year. And they study for their
activiy club for one year with
their friends and club teachers.
This year the most
hardworking club has been the
ENERGY CLUB.They come
together with their teachers one
hour in per week.They have
started a school project and
they study for their
friends,teachers,parents and for all school and maybe for
all of the village to have awareness about the global-
warning and depletion of energy sources.
SOME ACTIVITIES
OF ENERGY CLUB
They prepared
warning signs about
the correct use of
water, heat and
lights sources and hang on the walls of toilets and
classes.
Their Club Teacher, Yasemin Tutkun give seminars
to our school staff, students, and parents of students.
Club Teacher and club students visit the homes of
their friends to see how they use energy in their
homes.
They plant trees in school garden
A little note from our energy club students to their
friends from different countries;
! In one second time, 130 mL water flows
from the tap,That means while you brush
your teeth(in 3 minutes) , you waste 23,4
Liters water.
A photo from a sketch
Students of school
energy club
prepared little
sketches to draw
attention to
importance of
energy sources
and global-
warming.
In the World of Inventions
An exciting exhibition titled
“In the World of Inventions”
was organized in our school
library. Pupils got to know
about the way of making lin-
en material, they were in-
formed about the past life
daily tools and devices. An old iron heated by the coal,
water yokes, Edison` s gramophone, slide projector,
adapter, vinyls and “Pionier” radio were watched by the
children with a great interest. These and other tools and
devices made the world from the 19th and 20th century
closer.
Our Experiments
What lives in the ground? What swims and
what sinks? How do the balloon fly? Does
the water have skin? Our guests tried to get
to know the answers during the School Open
Door Day which took place at our school.
The classrooms turned into mysterious laboratories, in
which many games and experiments took
place. They were mainly connected with the
water, air, space, light and sound. In the
World of the Earth children got to know not
only our country` s specimens but also from
other foreign lands. The Land of Lights and
Shadows took us to the charming plays. We
could also see different cells that are invisible
without special equipment in the Land of Micro World.
In the World of Astronomy
The VI a class participated in the inter- school contest
on the sport and astronomy knowledge. We took third
place. Teams consisting of three representatives, gave the
answers to the questions about space (Karol Lange,
Michał Szyborski, Karol Wójcik)- and we were the best at
it. In spite of this, the teams prepared the post stamp pro-
ject (Aleksandra Mizerska, Kinga Stancel, Daiana Suszek)
and the space costume. The costume “Space Sumo” was
designed by Karolina Baprawska, Klaudia Palkowska and
Michał Szymborski.
We collected, carried and got satisfaction
Few days ago the students from VI a class carried many
plastic nuts to the High School no 4. Nuts
were collected in order to help raise the
money for the wheelchair for a student
from that school. All students who joined
this action, and thanks to whom we col-
lected many bags of nuts, may be satisfied
that they could help other person to fulfill
his or her dreams
The experiment with water
Needed for the experiment are: half an
orange, one plate, four matches, water,
0ne glass
First pour water on the plate. We then
plugged in four matches in a half an or-
ange, burn the match and cover glass. Af-
ter a while the water is drawn into a glass.
MELTING AND FREEZING On one of the Physics lessons we were examining the
melting and freezing of the
solids. Examining the
melting and freezing of the
ice would be the simpliest
way but it is very difficult to
freeze the ice in a laboratory
so we have chosen a white
crystalline substance – the
sodium thiosulfate.
We started heating the sodium
thiosulfate on 22 °C. We did not put it directly above the
flame but we were heating it in some water. We had
a look at it every 30 seconds and wrote down the
temperature. We realised its temperature had been
continuosly rising until 48 °C. Then the temperature did
not change in spite of the fact that we had cuntinued the
heating. The sodium thiosulfate has melted and the crys-
tals have changed into liquid. In some time the tempera-
ture of the liquid started to increase again.
Later we stopped heating and the liquid started getting
cool. Its temperature has not changed on 48 °C but it got
cool in crystalline form.
This experiment shows some heat is needed for melting
of crystalline substances and the heat has to be taken
away at freezing.
ROBOTICS We have Robotics as an extra-
curricular activity at our school. On
the first lesson we constructed a
robot from a lot of small pieces. On
the other lessons we made
programmes for it on the computer.
Later we equipped the robot with
various sensors, such as a distance sensor. It can identify
the distance of the robot from other objects. The light
sensor helps the robot to slow down or stop if there is
not enough light. It depends on the programme. There is
a sound and a bumper sensor too but we have not used
them yet.
I like this activity very much.

Do you know, how many teeth does the
adult horse have? Solve this cipher.

An interesting thing from animal word
My favourite animal is a horse, because it is the second
most faithful animal. The most faithful is a dog, I think.
But now I will write about horses. I like their noble
walking. We can breed them in a herd or separately.
They need access to fresh hay. A suitable way consists in
ensuring them free movement. If the horse is in a box he
need enough light and air.

CHICS BORN IN A CLASSROOM
Mila, one of the infant
education teachers, tells us
about the “chicken pro-
ject”:
Hello Mila, could you tell
us about the Project?
We bring an egg to the
classroom and ask chil-
dren if they think there is a chicken inside. We open the
egg and they seem sad because there is only “an egg”…
From this moment we start our project. We explain chil-
dren that chickens have a mum and dad (calle hen and
rooster) and when the hen lay eggs, they need heat and
be wet. Finally we explain them that as we can not have
a hen and a rooster in the class we take a machine, called
incubator and which will do the same task as the hen
(give heat to the eggs). Eggs must spend 21 days inside
the incubator and later chickens will be born. Children
enjoyed and learnt a lot with these activities: eggs are
also a kind of food, when a chicken grows up it becomes
a hen or a rooster… You can see here some photos about
the project…
Drought in Spain We have only seen the rain once during the last winter in
Cabanillas del Campo. It has been all the same in the
central and south areas of Spain, and even in some north-
ern areas, which is really unusual. Here are some data
which can make us realise how dangerous this situation
may be. These data have been extracted from a piece of
news by Matthew Bennett.
Spain is used to long, hot summers, of course, but this
winter is not over and experts are already calling for an
urgent declaration of extreme drought. Some say it is set
to be the driest three-month period since the 1940s.
The severe lack of water and intense frosts have all but
ruined crops across large swathes of the Spanish coun-
tryside and there are regions in which rainfall has well,
fallen, by up to 75%. New Agriculture Ministry data
shows that water levels across Spain’s reservoirs are
down 20% over the last year. The giant Duero basin has
lost more than 25% of its water. A lack of water on this
scale has also led to a massive economic problem for
Spanish farmers and crop growers. Spain’s young agri-
culture association is saying that the lack of decent pas-
tures due to effects of the drought is costing them 2 mil-
lion of euros per day more than it should in feed for
Spain’s 15 million head of cattle, pigs and sheep. They
also warn that ALL the dryland crops (wheat, barley,
olives, almonds, etc) from huge areas of central and
southern Spain (Aragón, Andalucía, Extremadura and
Castilla-La Mancha) might be lost. Spanish environmen-
tal group Ecologistas en Acción has warned that Spain’s
Agriculture Ministry urgently needs to decide on priori-
ties for the summer and that these priorities should be:
drinking water for the population, river discharge levels
and only then crop irrigation. They think things are get-
ting that bad.
Airbus adec and bio-diversity proyect Our school participates in the Project for the Conserva-
tion of the Bio-diversity, an initiative from the Airbus
Foundation which was first established in 2010
(International year for the Bio-diversity) This project is
offered to any centre which expresses a desire and pre-
sents a project. The project has a very close relationship
with the Eco-Schools programme, but any other schools
can also join it.
Basically, the project consists on developing a series of
action plans and a conduct code, which will be carried
on in each centre. These projects are, of course, focused
on Biodiversity in a number of ways: protection, recov-
ery and improvement of spaces, species and eco systems,
water, energy, waste, tourism, spare time... and how all
this can be implemented in schools.
