YOU ARE MY EVERYTHING
“Earth and water are seen as a couple...
I think they look cute together but this is also because our planet NEEDS water. Earth says “you are my everything” because without water, earth would have been a big rock floating around space for no reason...”

STUDENTS MAKE COMPOST IN 11th GYMNASIO OF HERAKLION, CRETE
The students of the 11th Gymnasium of Heraklion Crete make ... compost!
With the sponsorship of the Waste Management Association of Crete, a compostor was given to our school at the request of the students of the 11th Gymnasium of Heraklion. The placement of the special compost bucket was carried out with the supervision and instructions of the science teacher Mr. Yannis Patsakis, in the framework of the ecological actions of the European Erasmus + Eco School Program, KA2 entitled "Little steps make a big difference. Together we care for our home. »
For those who do not know, composting is a natural process that turns organic materials into a rich dark substance. This substance is called compost or humus or soil improviser.
Composting is a very immediate and important way of recycling. It has been calculated that 35% of household waste can be composted.
Waste like egg shells, fruit and vegetable peels, bread, tea bags, coffee,cereals, plant leaves (leaves, branches and flowers, dried leaves), papers (not dirty), straw or sawdust, hair, dung, soil or compost can be placed in the compost bin and give us a beautiful soil improvement product!!!!
VISIT TO THE APOSELEMIS DAM
As part of the ERASMUS + PROGRAM, entitled "Little steps make a big difference. Together we care for our home ", as well as the environmental program titled "In my school yard ", with responsible teachers Mrs. Filippidou Anna and Mrs. Kydonieos Kyriaki, the environmental group of the 11th Gymnasium of Heraklion, visited the facilities of the water purification process at the refinery in the area of Agriana in the Municipality of Hersonissos as well as the Aposelemis dam. The environmental team was also accompanied by Mr. Patsakis Giannis.
Aposelemi Dam is the largest water supply project in Crete and was constructed to solve the vital irrigation needs of the northern beaches of eastern Crete, from Heraklion to Agios Nikolaos, Lasithi.
The dam is near the villages of Potamies and Avdou. It concentrates the water of the Lasithi Mountains (Lassithi Plateau) while its capacity exceeds 30,000,000 m3.
Nowadays, the largest artificial lake on the island appears in the dam. There have been various species by converting the area into a wetland.
Aposelemi dam is a source of life and breath of development in the area and it is an amazing area for walk and recreation. Visitors can observe or photograph birds with impressive colours, many of which are migratory.
There was the village of Spentylli in the area, which was evacuated because it was within the boundaries of the artificial lake of the dam and the inhabitants of the settlement were compensated by the state for their properties. As water fills and empties the Aposelemis dam, the Spentylli disappears and appears! This is an attraction for visitors.
The village was inhabited both during the Venetian domination and during the Ottoman domination. Recently, the archaeologist Athanasia Kanda found 65 skeletons, which according to surveys probably come from a Minoan cemetery.
However, he educational walk did not stop there ...! The fruitful and pleasant educational adventure continued with the visit of our environmental team at the LYCHNOSTATIS Museum at Hersonissos Harbor!
The students attended the environmental education training program entitled "The sea lily returns to the shores."
The students came in contact with nature, soil, seeds, planting process and ways to rescue a protected plant species: the prehistoric sea lily, "pancratium maritimum", endemic to the northern coast of Crete before its spreading mass tourism.
The aim of the program was to substantially and symbolically enrich the local flora, physiognomy initiation as well as to stimulate children's collectivity.
The children attended a short presentation from which they extracted botanical and archaeological information about the plant. Then they recognized the sea lily in the courtyard of the Museum at its current stage. They observed the bulbs, the seeds and took on specific roles, they involved in all stages of planting a plant species, and worked as a group.
Through the specific training program the students tried to discover the richness of the folk culture of Crete with the ultimate aim of sensitizing them, preserving and promoting the newer cultural heritage and historical memory.
ECOMOBILITY PROJECT
EcoMobility is travel through integrated, socially inclusive, and environmentally-friendly transport options, including and integrating walking, cycling, wheeling, and passenging. By enabling citizens and organizations to access goods, services, and information in a sustainable manner, EcoMobility supports citizens’ quality of life, increases travel choices, and promotes social cohesion.
EcoMobility is neither a new kind of transportation nor is it a collective word to indicate heterogeneous transport. EcoMobility indicates a new approach to mobility that highlights the importance of public and non-motorized transport and promotes an integrated use of all modes in a city.
Students’ project will be presented in s special event that will take place at school, on Tuesday, 12th March, 2019 at 6 p.m.
