What is a pellet-

It is the mass of untdigested parts of bird’s food (bones, fur,

THE SIGNS

Our biology group has prepared the signs for the school building. Our janitor decided to place the signs in the classes and in the toilet rooms. We hope that the electricity will be saved.

The National Park of Wielkopolska

•The National Park of Wielkopolska was created on April 16, 1957 pursuant to a regulation by the Council of Ministers, the area within its borders was 9600ha, and 5100 was to be administered by the Park. In 1996 a new regulation by the Council of Ministers concerning the National Park limited its area to 7584ha and created a protected buffer zone around the Park. This zone's area, together with the area of the Park, totaled 14840ha. Some areas were excluded form the Park, such as the urban areas of Puszczykowo, Mosina and Stęszew. The National Park of Wielkopolska is located around 15 km south of Poznań and has a very convenient bus and train connection with this city (Poznań- Wrocław rail line), and through Poznań, thanks to many fast trains, also with Warsaw.

•18 areas of strict preservation were created within the Park, with a total area of 260ha. They preserve various forms of postglacial landscape and the most pristine flora complexes, as well as the animals living there. The protected area also encompasses 32 tree monuments and an erratic boulder.

•The National Park of Wielkopolska is a true tourist magnet, with over a million visitors a year. Five tourist tracks with a total length of 85 km cut through the Park. Those tracks form 7 tourist trails enabling a visitor to learn a lot, not only about the nature, but also about the culture of this region

•The Park is home to many monuments. One of the most precious ones is the wooden church in Łódź from the 17th century. Other old churches of a slightly lesser value are to be seen in the towns of Puszczykowo, Stęszew and Wiry.
In the villages of Szreniawa and Trzebaw you can see well-preserved mansions from the 19th century. Another attraction are the ruins of a small castle built in 1827 by Tytus Działyński for his sister Klaudyna Potocka on the Castle Island on Lake Góreckie.

Polish birdfeeders 2

It is nice that there is another group of people who has the same hobby.

Polish birdfeeders

Our Polish students also make birdfeeders and feed and observe the birds.

We can study the birds also in Latin now. it will be our next task to find the Czech equvalents.

Our Polish students have also built birdfeeders. Here is the evidence. Well done, our friends.

Falcons- birds´show

http://picasaweb.google.cz/hopelesshope53/Ptaci

Every year, there is a big event in our school. A group of people come to our school with birds like owls, eagles, falcons, kestrels, vultures and others. In the school sport staduim, they show the students these birds and what they can do. The birds, they keep are those, who have been injured or found and can´t go back to the nature. THese pictures are quite old but it is almost alwys the same.

Our bird feeders

http://www.box.net/shared/a5a2vpk00s

In this presentation, we wanted to show how we made the bird feeders in the schoolworkshop. I think that it was a good job and the students could see how important the bird feeders are for our garden birds. It was nice how they worked together.

My bird feeder

Bird feeder / Tereza B./

We made our bird feeders in the school workshop with the help of some friends from the other class sekunda B and our teacher Mrs Tulkova. It was quite interesting and easy.

What have I done with it? I live on the outskirts of Ceska Lipa in Ziznikov. I have fixed the feeder between two trees in the garden.

I feed the birds with sunflower seeds and bird fat and I can observe sparrows, tits, spotted woodpeckers.

There are also some wood pigeons which eat leftovers from the ground.

It is my first bird feeder. I think that I know the birds better now.

Birds what we know about them in English

We have studied some of the birds. In biology the students have to recognize all of them. In English they prepared some information about the birds they like or know. The whole contribution can be used in any future lessons of English or biology.

Our sponsored child Mary

http://picasaweb.google.cz/hopelesshope53/Mary

Sekunda A is the class which have been chosen to write letters to our Indian adopted child Mary. She was born on 15th September 1996 in India in the region Karnaka and comes from a poor family. She is a Christian-catholic. We send money for her school attendance every year and so she can get clothes, school equipment, shoes, school food for that. It is very good. Last year we watched a documentary about this part of India and about the children who can´t go to school and who live in the scrapheap. We are very happy that we can support our child and we have decided to eneble her to finish her compulsory school attendance.

Klic- our trip to the highest mountain

http://www.box.net/encoded/12517393/128276635/34b11db46d6855465da002e87ccc5cd0

Our first trip

The Lužické Mountains aren´t a large area in northern Bohemia.They form the border between the Czech Republic and Germany. The small part in Germany is called The Zitava Mountains/ Zittauer Gebirge/. The highest mountain is called Luž and it is 793m high.
More than a half of this area is covered in forests/ in the past it used to be maily beech and fir, nowadys it is spruce and pine./ On the top of the mountain range there is an important watershed between The North and Baltic Seas.
Since 1976 The Lužické Mountains have been put on the list of the protected areas and the most precious places are the part of the 16 smaller protected areas.
We are going to visit some of them during this school year. The first is the mountain Klíč / in translation – KEY/
Key- is 760m high and from the top of this mountain there is a beautiful view all around. The mountain is created from PHONOLITE.
KEY- the natural reservation proclaimed in 1967, there are rare plants,
birds which nest here are for example-RAVEN, FALCON
we can also meet a CHAMOIS / a special type of a mountain goat /
Pomáháme přírodě = We are helping the nature
Poznáváme přírodu= We are learning about the nature
Hrajeme si v přírodě= We are playing in the nature
Games: Poznej svůj strom/= guess your tree/ for pairs of the students
step1- one of the students will cover his eyes and the other will take him to a tree in a forest around.
step 2.- the „blind“ students tries to search the tree by other senses
step3.-then they return to the basic place, they uncover the eyes and they are trying to find their tree.
Game 2- Cooperation-
we need a small ring, a little ball and some strings.
instructions:
1. put the ring on the ground and tie pieces of the string all around
2. place the ball on the ring in the middle
3. Each member of the group will hold one piece of the string
4. Raise the strings with the ball and walk with it.
5. Do not let the ball fall off.
6. All the group has to cooperate not to lose the ball.
All these things you will see in our presentation.
We are looking forward to seeing yours.

This is the presentation from our partner.

The beginning of the project

We started this project in autumn 2007. First it was only a group of students who attend my biology club but later we decided to have an etwinning project with a school from abroad. It was not easy to find the right school but finally we got the school from Poland. Our partners are a bit older but they are very nice and we are in contact on the twinspace of the etwinning.net. Our main aim is the introduce the environment we live in through more interesting way. We study trees, plants, animals and we also learn how to use the ICT tools to make our project nicer. Because I do not speak English, my colleague translates my texts and helps me with the communication with Poland. The Polish biology teacher has the same problem. She can't speak English, so her friend the English teacher helps her. So we have a group of four teachers who must cooperate every day to work on this project.
