Thursday's meeting





Today we dealt with summing up a project which was funded by Estonia's Environmental Board and Environmental Investment Centre. The project very well links with our Comenius project .

 












Such environmental study took place at Kehtna Basic School from April 2011 till December 2011 with its title "The biological, cultural and economical value of a local water body." Classes 7, 8 and 9 were involved in this project work. 

As we wished to upload a brief summary of the project in English, Kaarel, Johannes, Sten, Marten  and  Larsen helped translating the text into English. Liisbet, Anu, Diana  and  Signe  prepared information board.  Signe and Diana filled in student profiles, which are needed for  the Spanish trip.


Next week we shall start with preparing the presentations for Spanish trip.
