  • GREEN ROOF APPLICATION

    In order to keep the earth livable, it is needed that human being should decrease the amount of carbon emission. Carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxide (NO2) and methane prevent sun lights from returning to space by condensing throughout the atmosphere. The condensing called “Greenhouse Gas Effect” causes temperature changes by trapping sun lights in the atmosphere. While thinking about solutions personally to decrease the amount of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, “Ecological Literacy” workgroup came by the idea of greening the roof of security cabin which we had painted and garnished with project logos and flags of partner countries. Green roof application is a cheap and practical method that everybody can easily implement to decrease carbon emission, to insulate naturally and of course, to delight the eye. Starting from the idea, ecological detectives using a little help from the personnel planted two vine stocks onto the backyard of security cabin. They increased the shade of green by girdling ivies around the stocks. Members of workgroup tied the vine stocks diagonally on the roof and covered the roof from one end to another. Ecological detectives are now awaiting to see vines and ivies growing, getting green and reducing carbon emission by generating oxygen. Keep working.

    YEŞİL ÇATI UYGULAMASI

    Dünyanın yaşanabilir olma özelliğini korumak için insanoğlunun ürettiği karbon salınımlarını azaltması gerekiyor. Karbondioksit (CO2), azot oksit (N2O) ve metan, atmosferde yoğunlaşarak, yeryüzüne düşen Güneş ışınlarının uzaya geri yansımasını önlüyor. Sera etkisi adı verilen bu yoğunlaşma ışınları atmosfere hapsederek iklimin ısınmasına neden oluyor. Atmosfere karbondioksit (CO2) salınımını azaltmak için bireysel olarak neler yapabileceğimizi düşünürken, “Ecological Literacy” çalışma grubu, daha önce proje logoları ve ortak ülkelerin bayraklarıyla boyayıp süslediğimiz güvenlik kulübesinin çatısını yeşil çatı haline getirme fikrini ortaya attı. Karbon salınımını azaltmak, doğal yolla yalıtım sağlamak ve elbette göz zevki için, yeşil çatı herkesin bireysel olarak uygulayabileceği ucuz ve pratik bir yöntemdir. Bu fikirden yola çıkarak, ekolojik detektifler, personelin de yardımıyla, satın aldıkları iki adet asma kütüğünü kulübenin arkasındaki toprak alana diktiler. Kütüklerin etrafına sarmaşıklar sararak yeşil tonunu artırdılar ve asma kütüklerinin ucunu çatıya çapraz bağlayarak çatıyı boydan boya asma ile kapladılar. Ekip üyeleri, şimdi dört gözle asmaların ve sarmaşıkların büyüyüp yeşillenmesini, çatıyı tamamen kaplayıp karbon salınımını azaltarak oksijen üretimine başlamasını bekliyorlar. Çalışmaya devam.

    Promoting Preparatory Classes and Project at Kindergarten 43 Sibiu

    Within the partnership that "Constantin Noica" High School has got with Kindergarten 43 Sibiu, we developed an activity of promoting our high school, respectively of the preparatory classes that we will establish in the school year 2017-2018. During the activity we presented the educational offer, the pupils’ course program and the Erasmus+ project "Ecological Literacy". The activity took place on February 27th, 2017 with the parents of the pre-schoolers in Kindergarten 43, who will enroll their kids in our school. Both the project coordinator and the high school headmaster had the pleasure of being presented to them some of the activities in the kindergarten, recycling activities, promising besides to Mrs. Mihaela Niță , the headmaster of the kindergarten, that we will continue them with the preschoolers in our school through the Erasmus+ project. The existence of an Erasmus+ project on environmental issues in our high school is likely to attract more pupils to our school, that it is possible to have a class in addition to the expected number.

    Promovarea claselor pregătitoare și proiectului la Grădinița 43 Sibiu

    În cadrul parteneriatului pe care Liceul Teoretic “Constantin Noica” îl are cu Grădinița 43 Sibiu, am desfășurat o activitate de promovare a liceului nostru, respectiv a claselor pregătitoare pe care le vom înființa în anul școlar 2017-2018. În timpul activității am prezentat oferta educațională, programul de curs al elevilor și proiectul Erasmus+ “Ecological Literacy”. Activitatea a avut loc în data de 27 februarie 2017 cu părinții copiilor din Grădinița 43, care își vor înscrie copiii la școala noastră. Atât coordonatoarea proiectului cât și directorul liceului au avut deosebita plăcere de a li se prezenta câteva dintre activitățile din grădiniță, activități de reciclare, promițând de altfel d-nei Mihaela Niță, directoarea grădiniței, că le vom continua cu preșcolarii în cadrul școlii noastre, prin proiectul Erasmus+. Existența unui proiect Erasmus+ pe teme ecologice în liceul nostru se pare că va atrage mai mulți elevi spre școala noastră, încât este posibil să avem o clasă în plus, față de numărul preconizat.

    How Colors Can Play An Important Role Even in the Dish

    Our pupils involved in this Erasmus+ project had a Gastronomic lesson with the topic “How Colors Can Play An Important Role Even in the Dish”. They were guided by their teacher, Mrs. Raluca Teglas. By this theoretical and practical activity, the pupils have understood that colours also can influence our balance, can provoke emotions and memories, can connect us with nature and can even seem that they slow down the time. Colors have various meanings to different cultures and individuals. That's why we have to get in touch with the colors that resonate for us and to decorate our environment with them in order to make better our lives. By inspiring us from our partners' culture through this Erasmus+ project, we can contribute to the union of people, cultures, idea. Thus, our lives will be more and more beautiful, happier and happier. We have the example of the rainbow, which impresses by its beauty, knowing to gather together violet, indigo, blue, green,yellow, orange and red. The pupils agreed that unity is the most important thing and each color must have its own importance in life. The photos taken then prove the success of our activity.

    Cum pot culorile juca un rol important chiar și în farfurie

    Elevii noștri implicați în acest proiect Erasmus+ au avut o lecție gastronomică cu tema „Cum pot culorile juca un rol important chiar și în farfurie “. Ei au fost îndrumați de profesoara lor, d-na Raluca Teglas. Prin această activitate teoretică și practică, elevii au înțeles că și culorile pot influența echilibrul nostru, pot provoca emoții și amintiri, ne pot conecta cu natura și poate chiar părea că acestea încetinesc timpul. Culorile au diferite semnificații pentru diferite culturi și diferiți indivizi. De aceea, trebuie să intrăm în contact cu culorile ce rezonează pentru noi și să ne decorăm mediul cu ele, în scopul de a ne face mai bună viața. Inspirându-ne din cultura partenerilor noștri prin intermediul acestui proiect Erasmus+, putem contribui la unirea oamenilor, culturilor, ideilor. Astfel, viața noastră va fi din ce în ce mai frumoasă, din ce în ce mai fericită. Avem exemplul curcubeului, care impresionează prin frumusețea sa, știind să adune laolaltă violet, indigo, albastru, verde, galben, portocaliu și roșu. Elevii au fost de acord că unitatea este cel mai important lucru și fiecare culoare trebuie să aibă propria importanță în viață. Fotografiile făcute atunci dovedesc succesul activității noastre.

    Celebrating Earth Day

    On March 20, the international Earth Day is celebrated. In our gymnasium we had 2 special events on that day, i.e. we celebrated the Earth Day and the 5-12 grades pupils presented their “Green Areas are Human and Natural Creation” project results. Since September 1, the pupils have responsibly taken part in various environmental activities that were integrated in different lessons such as Maths, Foreign Language, Literature, Physics. On March 20, the pupils had to present their activities' final results. Works were assessed by the jury, chaired by Rita Rasikiene, Head of the gymnasium. There were various presentations. Some pupils presented the herbs they grew, as well as giving the main information of their whole work they did while taking care of them. The other ones presented a hand-made “green wall”, which may be used to decorate the gymnasium. The pupils also presented mini-gardens, stained glass, mosaics, reflectors made from recycled materials and the grass they grew. All the pupils put a lot of effort and work to achieve their goals. It was interesting to compare the results and learn something new. It's a traditional event in our gymnasium, so we have no doubt that next year our pupils will surprise us with even more outstanding works.

    Švenčiame Žemės Diena

    Kovo 20- pasaulinė Žemės diena. Gimnazijoje ši diena buvo ypatingai paminėta ir sutapo su projektine 5-12 klasių diena „Žalieji želdiniai - žmogaus ir gamtos kūrinys“. Mokiniai nuo pat rugsėjo 1-os dienos atsakingai ruošėsi ir vykdė įvairias projekto veiklas integruodami tokius dalykus kaip gamtamoksliniai tyrimai, gamta ir žmogus, biologija, fizika, matematika, užsienio kalba, literatūra. Na, o išaušus kovo 20-os rytui kiekviena klasė turėjo pristayti savo sukurtus projektus, kuriuos atsakingai vertino žiuri komisija, o jos pirmininkė buvo gimnazijos direktorė R.Rasikienė. Pristatymai buvo labai įvairūs. Kai kurie mokiniai pristatinėjo augintas prieskonines daržoves, rodydami skaidres, pateikdami medžiagą apie jų auginimą bei priežiūrą. Kiti- savo pačių sukurtą žaliąją sienelę, kuri galėtų būti panaudota gimnazijos erdvių puošimui. Dar kiti- sukurtus mini sodus, užaugintą žolytę, mozaikas, atšvaitus pagamintus iš antrinių žaliavų, vitražus. Visi mokiniai įdėjo daug pastangų, darbo ir jėgų, kad pasiekti išsikeltą tikslą ir gauti norimą rezultatą. Idomu buvo palyginti savo ir kitų mokinių darbus, sužinoti kažką naujo, pasisemti naujų idėjų. Ši diena gimnazijoje tradicinis renginys, tad neabejojame, kad ir kitais mokslo metais mokiniai mus džiugins savo išradingais ir puikiais darbais.

    New Activities in the Portuguese Partner School

    The pupils and teachers of our school developed new activities. Among the most important of them was the celebration of the International Day of Peace. Because together we build a better world, the pupils worn white shirts (meaning the light in the world) and also colorful ones (symbol of union among peoples) to celebrate this important date. Peace rule the world. It's so good to see that the teachers' children can get to work with our pupils. It's good when we all learn. A fantastic class, full of math, good times and lots of learning. Besides, our activities were presented in a new magazine. Our teacher, Cidália Marques had the courage to propose it and the capacity to coordinate it. We had another school assembly and one more challenge for our pupils. The rules are the results of negotiation were built by pupils, applied by them and discussed among pupils. With this, they gained autonomy, responsibility and cooperation, by working all the areas and grewing up together. Space and art were in action through our gifted pupils' activities. When everything was ready for another start, we leave the votes of an excellent school year for all. Our teacher, Cristina Lima presented us her fabulous work.

    Novas atividades na Escola de Parceiros Portugueses

    Os alunos e professores da nossa escola desenvolveram novas atividades. Entre os mais importantes foi a celebração do Dia Internacional da Paz. Porque juntos construímos um mundo melhor, os alunos usavam camisas brancas (ou seja, a luz do mundo) e também coloridas (símbolo de união entre os povos) para celebrar esta importante data. A paz governa o mundo. É tão bom ver que os filhos dos professores podem trabalhar com nossos alunos. É bom quando todos aprendemos. Uma aula fantástica, cheia de matemática, bons momentos e muito aprendizado. Além disso, nossas atividades foram apresentadas em uma nova revista. Nossa professora, Cidália Marques teve a coragem de propor e a capacidade de coordená-la. Tivemos outra assembléia escolar e mais um desafio para nossos alunos. As regras são os resultados da negociação foram construídos por alunos, aplicados por eles e discutidos entre os alunos. Com isso, eles ganharam autonomia, responsabilidade e cooperação, trabalhando todas as áreas e se juntando. O espaço e a arte estavam em ação através das atividades de nossos alunos talentosos. Quando tudo estava pronto para outro começo, deixamos os votos de um excelente ano lectivo para todos. Nossa professora, Cristina Lima, nos apresentou seu fabuloso trabalho.

    Stories and Events in Our School

    The pupils in our school celebrated the "International Day of the European Languages", achieving postcards, letters and posters, the "Day Without a Car" through debates, drawings and compositions and other activities involving stories as that of a container, resulting an eco-book, or of the 3 dolphins. The pupils learned on the damaging consequences of increasing of cars number in traffic. They held a debate on if to forbid driving in the city center, concluding that we had too many parking lots and too little kids’ playgrounds. In the compositions they wrote to look our city without a car and how much life would be healthier and more enjoyable. Drawings showed that they must use bicycles and hiking more. They will try to influence adults choosing these movement ways being healthier for people and environment. Agreeing Čakovic City, they painted city containers. The kids’ wish is that all city containers to be painted and happy as their picture book container. The stories delighted them a lot. There were 3 friends of dolphins: Riki, Boni, and Dino. They liked swimming together and playing in the sea. Dupin Dino saw the fish and stalked at them. Then the fishermen came in the boat. The fishermen dropped the net. Dino stuck to the net. He called for help from his friends. Riki and Boni heard it. They drifted quickly to the boat and hit the net. So they saved Dina. Since then, they were looking after the fishermen and their nets. From this story, they talked about real life. Lucija and Antonius are twins and go together in 3rd grade in the Elementary School Čakovec. Their grandparents live on Pag Island. They spend the whole summer with them at sea. They often go fishing with a daddy’s boat. Antonija is successful in fishing and Lucija loves sea stories. Lucy wrote a 3 dolphins story and showed it in drawing. The dwarves often get caught up in fishing nets and then get caught. Her story, however, has a happy ending as dolphin friends have saved her from the fishing net.

    Priče i događaji u našoj školi

    Učenici u našoj školi proslavili su "Međunarodni dan europskih jezika", postižući razglednice, pisma i plakate, "Dan bez automobila" kroz rasprave, crteže i skladbe i mnoge druge aktivnosti koje uključuju priče poput onoga kontejnera, rezultat eko knjige, ili tri dupina. Učenici su naučili o štetnim posljedicama sve većeg broja automobila u prometu. Održali su raspravu o tome treba li zabraniti vožnju u središtu grada, zaključujući da smo imali previše parkirališta i previše dječjih igrališta. U skladbama koje su napisali da bi naš grad bez automobila i koliko bi život bio zdraviji i ugodniji. Crteži su pokazali da bi trebali koristiti bicikle i planinariti više. Pokušat će utjecati na odrasle osobe da odaberu ove načine kretanja koji su zdraviji za ljude i okoliš. U dogovoru s gradom Čakom učenici su naslikali gradske kontejnere. Dječja želja je da su svi kontejneri u gradu slikani i sretni, kao i kontejner iz njihove slikovnice. Priče su ih jako oduševile. Tri su prijatelja dupina. Jedan se zvao Riki, drugi se zvao Boni, a treći Dino. Voljeli su plivati zajedno i igrati se u moru. Dupin Dino vidio je ribu i prišao njima. Onda su ribari ušli u čamac. Ribari su spustili mrežu. Dino se zaglavio na mrežu. Pozvao je pomoć od svojih prijatelja. Riki i Boni su to čuli. Brzo su se spustili na brod i pogodili mrežu. Tako su spasili Dinu. Od tada su se brinuli o ribarima i njihovim mrežama. Iz ove priče razgovarali su o stvarnom životu. Lucija i Antonius su blizanci i idu zajedno u 3. razredu u Osnovnoj školi Čakovec. Njihovi bake i djedovi i djedovi žive na otoku Pagu. Cijelo ljeto provode s njima na moru. Često idu u ribolov s tatinskim čamcem. Antonija je uspješna u ribolovu, a Lucija voli morske priče. Lucy je napisala priču o tri dupina i pokazala je crtežom. Patuljci se često ulove u ribarske mreže, a zatim se uhvate. Njezina priča, međutim, ima sretan kraj zato što su ga dupini prijatelji spasili iz ribarske mreže.

    Animal Day in Class 3A

    In the month of October students from class 3A devoted a lesson to animals. October 4th is Animal Day and they marked it with a fable, discussion and drawing. Aesop's fable ”Nightingale and a Man” taught them the importance of animal freedom and responsible behavior of man towards animals. They discussed about how animals feel locked up in cages and  separated from their natural surroundings. They presented that in drawings. They read another wonderful story - ”White Deer” by Vladimir Nazor, a famous Croatian writer. In this fable the main character Anka, gets into the woods and acquires the ability of understanding animal's language. Anka loves nature unconditionally and protects animlas and people. Writer Vladimir Nazor taught us in this amazing fable about human relationship not only towards humans but also to animals. Students also enjoyed in a theatrical show ”White Deer”, by a children's theater from Osijek, which was presented at Assitej, a festival of children’s theaters in Čakovec.

    Dan životinja u 3.a razredu

    U mjesecu listopadu učenici 3. a razreda posvetili su životinjama. 4. 10. Dan životinja obilježili su basnom, raspravom i crtežom.  Ezopova basna Slavuj i čovjek poučila ih je o važnosti slobode životinja i ponašanju čovjeka prema životinjama. Raspravljali su o tome kako se osjećaju životinje zatvorene u kavezima i krletkama i izdvojene iz svojeg prirodnog okruženja. To su prikazali crtežima. Čitali su još jednu prekrasnu priču - Bijeli jelen, Vladimira Nazora, poznatog hrvatskog pisca. U toj bajci glavni lik, guščarica Anka, dospijeva u šumu i dobiva sposobnost razumijevanja životinjskog govora. Anka neizmjerno voli prirodu i štiti i životinje i ljude. Književnik Vladimir Nazor nas je poučiotom prekrasnom bajkom o humanom odnosu ne samo prema ljudima već i prema životinjama. Učenici su uživali i i u kazališnoj predstavi Bijeli jelen, Dječjeg kazališta iz Osijeka,  koja se prikazivala na festivalu dječjih kazazališta Assitej u Čakovcu.

    International Day of School Libraries

    School Librarian Dragica Pongrac and 3rd grade students marked the International Day of School Libraries with interesting and educational activity in the school library. From the old and rejected books of the school library, students made apple trees. This activity continued on activities related to the Apple Day, and activities related to civic education, and talk about recycling and separating waste from the immediate environment. So, students were making apple trees by folding, folding and gluing old book pages. Interesting sculptures decorate the cabinet's cabinet. In Međimurje County, the largest number of apple trees were planted. In this way, we encourage students to the importance of consuming this fruit.

    Međunarodni dan školskih knjižnica

    Školska knjižničarka Dragica Pongrac i učenici 3.d razreda obilježili su Međunarodni dan školskih knjižnica zanimljivom i edukativnom aktivnošću u školskoj knjižnici. Od starih i odbačenih knjiga školske knjižnice, učenici su izrađivali  stabla jabuka. Ova aktivnost se nastavljala na aktivnosti vezane uz Dan jabuka, te aktivnosti vezane uz građanski odgoj, a govore o recikliranju i odvajanju otpada iz neposredne okoline. Dakle, učenici su trganjem, presavijanjem i ljepljenjem starih stranica knjiga izradili drva jabuka. Zanimljive skulpture ukrašavaju ormar školske knjižnice. U Međimurskoj županiji je zasađeno najviše voćaka jabuka. Na ovaj način potićemo učenike na važnost konzumiranja ovog voća.

    ŠTO JE GLOBALNO ZATOPLJENJE

    Učenik Gabriel Murk izradio je u Power Pointu prezentaciju u kojoj je učenicima Ekološke grupe objasnio da se pod globalnim zatopljenjem  smatra  povećanje prosječne temperature zemljine atmosfere i samog planeta Zemlje uzrokovanih učinkom stakleničkih plinova. Upozorio je na katastrofalne posljedice kao što su podizanje razine mora, povećan broj uragana i poplava, povećanje sušnog razdoblja u područjima uz Sredozemno more  ili pak povećanje znatne količine oborina u sjevernijim dijelovima našeg planeta. Te posljedice dovode do narušavanja ljudskog zdravlja kao i nestanak pojedinih biljnih i životinjskih vrsta. Fotografijama je zorno prikazao smanjenje površine Ledenjaka Grinnell u zadnjih 100 godina. Filmom o globalnom zagrivanju učenici su uvidjeli da topljenje ledenjaka i povećanje požara dovodi do gubitka staništa za mnoge životinjske vrste te su shvatili koliko je važno ozbiljno pristupiti ovom problemu. Kako bi  učenici aktivno preispitali sebe i aktivno razmišljali dobili su zadatak da se olujom ideja  prisjete svega što znaju ili što su danas zapamtili  o „Globalnom zatopljenju“. Svaki učenik došao je pred ploču zapisati, prema njihovom mišljenju, važanu ključnu riječ koja će im pomoći kod pisanja referata o globalnom zatopljenju. Nakon što su napisali referate učenici su ih glasno čitali,a zatim zajednički komentirali. Zaključili su da je važno proširivati svoje znanje o okolišu, štedjeti električnu energiju u svojim domovima i našoj školi, vožnju automobilom zamijeniti biciklom, povećati sadnju drveća koje upija otpadne plinove iz zraka, reciklirati, sortirati te da kupnjom električnog automobila Mete Rimca mogu pridonijeti zaštiti i čuvanju okoliša.  Nova saznanja o zaštiti okoliša učenici će u budućnosti međusobno podijeliti što će doprinijeti boljitku svih živih bića jer su svi u životnoj zajednici međusobno povezani i ovisni jedni o drugima.

    WHAT IS GLOBAL CLOSURE

    Pupil Gabriel Murk made a PowerPoint presentation in which the Ecological Group students explained that global warming is seen as an increase in the average temperature of Earth's atmosphere and Earth's planet itself caused by the effects of greenhouse gases. He warned of catastrophic consequences such as raising sea levels, increasing the number of hurricanes and floods, increasing the dry season in areas along the Mediterranean Sea, or increasing a significant amount of precipitation in the northern parts of our planet. These consequences lead to human health disorders as well as disappearance of certain plant and animal species. Photographs have shown a marked reduction in the Grinnell Glaze area over the last 100 years. With a film about global warming, the students realized that melting glaciers and rising fire led to the loss of habitats for many animal species, and they realized how important it is to seriously address this problem. In order for the students to actively reconsider themselves and actively think, they are given the task of storming an idea of what they know or remember about Global Warming today. Each student came to the board to write, in their opinion, an important keyword that will help them write global warming reports. After writing the lessons, the students read them aloud and then shared their comments. They concluded that it is important to extend their knowledge of the environment, save electricity in our homes and our school, replace the car by bike, increase the planting of absorbing waste gases from the air, recycle, sort and purchase the Mete Rimca electric car to help protect and environmental protection. New knowledge about environmental protection will in the future share the students with each other, which will contribute to the betterment of all living beings, because all are in the living community interdependent and dependent on each other.
