    During  mobility in Kladno we were working on activity A32 How can trees help us.

    Firstly we tried to find informations how trees are important for environment and shared all ideas on Padlet.  We copied the most important facts  on the paper tree leaves.

    We managed four international teams and each team had to create their ideas about trees in different season. We used only recyclable materials. These trees  with information leaves were displayed in school  hall so everyone could  learn about importance of trees .

    The last part of activity was collective  planting trees in school garden. Cedar and  lime will not only improve quality of our environment but remind our project and friendship too.
