Weekly meeting


Our winter holiday is over and we will continue meeting on Thursdays. Last Thursday, on 17th January, we were busy with translating our board games into English. With the help of the following students Marten, Kenet, Sten, Kaarel, Evita, Gladis, Liisbet, Hans-Martty, Johannes, Larsen and teacher Evelyn we managed to translate all task cards. Next Thursday we hope to get the cards into the final format so that  our board games will be multiplied and laminated before going to France.

Partner schools

ESTONIA: Kehtna Primary School is situated in the village of 1,200. There are no big towns nearby, although the capital Tallinn is just 60km to the north. We are surrounded by forests, bogs, farmland and therefore paying extra attention to nature studies and the environment is important to us. We are a school of the Green Flag and a Health-Concious school. There are 155 students and 20 teachers in our school. Students are aged 7-17.

ITALY: Liceo Classico "Megara" con sezione scientifica annessa is a secondary school for students aged 14-19.

Our students are all members of "Legambiente" which is a national leading environmental organization which offers educational programs in schools. We live by the sea and our area is very rich in waterways, rivers and ponds.

FRANCE: College Claude Bernard is in a suburban city (Grand-Quevilly) with about 30,000 inhabitants. A town with 400,000 people called Rouen is near to us. The area has little industry nowadays following the closure of the chemical factories and the Renault car plant.
