Today's meeting

Today our Comenius team discussed how to organize Environment Week in our school. We decided it will be held from 19-23 November. The importance of water in our environment, its necessity to be saved will be discussed in several lessons. Teacher Meeli will organize a visit to local water sewage company. On 22 November we have a plan to visit a school at Kohila to participate in a special water education program. Throughout the week Kaarel and Sten will use school radio for telling us interesting and useful facts about water and we also plan to play water-themed music during breaks. Facts about water will be prepared by Johannes, Larsen, Hans-Martty and Sten. Kenet and Kaarel will try to find as many music tracks about music as possible. Gladis, Evita, Liisbet and Karol will help to create a special information board. On Friday, 23th November we shall have a quiz and sum-up of the week. We hope to have water on our lunch table every day on that week. 

Marten and Sten helped to draw a poster to advertise our next week's Turkish afternoon where we plan to cook some Turkish dishes and listen to Turkish music. Kaarel and Kenet typed texts that go under printed out photos on our board.

Our meeting was attended by teachers Meeli, Lea and Evelyn, students Evita, Gladis, Liisbet, Karol, Sten, Kenet, Kaarel, Marten, Larsen, Johannes and Hans-Marrty were present.
