October activities in Spain

We have been planting seeds in our school kitchen garden. We already have some small cabbage plants.



There are still hazelnuts but some of them have a surprise inside, Can you see the hole?











Some of us live in other villages and come to school by bus but the ones who live near the school like cycling when the weather is nice.







Spanish snails


We are preparing drawings for a contest organized by the local authorities. It is about mushrooms because normally at this time people go to the countryside to pick them and cook and eat them, yummy!!! Unfortunately this year we haven´t got any yet. Today (October 19th) it´s raining so let´s hope they start growing soon!!

October weather activities in Slovenia

Today we spent an exciting time in our school playground. First we connected with the sky and the wind and described what feelings the air around us was filling us with.

Then we observed the wind - its' strenght and direction. We realised it was quite strong - our hair moved quite vividly, as well as the branches of all the trees and tops of pines.

Then we checked the temperature. We had to be careful to keep the termometers in a shadow.

We looked for flowers and found daisies.

Then we went on an animal hunt :)

We heard birds but saw none. In the ground we found firebugs, ants and earwigs.

We observed our clothes and disscussed our activities. When returning to our classroom we worked on making a report. It was fun!! And it is just the beginning ....

HELLO from Maine, USA!

Hello from Maine! We are first graders in a primary school in Maine. Our class name is The Starfish. We are 6-7 years old and we all love animals. We like making new friends from all over the world. The weather in Maine is very rainy right now. It has been raining for 5 days! The trees are starting to change colors. Our part of the USA is called New England, and it's famous for being beautiful in the fall. People come from all over to see the beautiful colors. We wonder if the leaves change colors where you live?

Your Friends,

The Starfish
