The Colours of Autumn at T.I.S The decorations on school window and the inspiring outdoors This school year (2020-2021) our Eco Schools team is focusing on the following topics: We have combined the  Biodiversity and Nature    with the  School Grounds   . Carrying on from last spring when we learned to identify some of the most common plants in the school yard, we focused on Estonian trees with 3rd Grade and have collected leaves and fruits of different tree species from the school yard and from Toome Hill. With 4th Grade we have studied the soil fauna in our school garden (the earthworms), and further we have visited The Ecological Garden in Tartu, and set up an experiment to study how well do the radish seeds germinate and grow in two different soils – a soil from our own school garden and a soil brought from Florence, Italy by a family of one of our students. Tiny radish plants emerged from soil collected from school yard… … and other ones from soil brou...

Magical elf house

  As a teacher I find that it is important to believe in magic and to instill that belief into children. To be enchanted by the world around us and notice little joys everywhere, to let our imagination fly and our creativity bloom. That is why we decided to build an elf house with our 3 year old artists, or an house for anybody who decides to move in actually! We used some old boxes as the construction of the house which we painted blue, next came the important part of designing the insides. We got creative with the wallpaper and decorated one of the walls with candy wrappers (in this case the teacher being the biggest sweeth tooth).

There is plenty of fire wood to keep the fire going and warm the whole house. Future guests can take a little nap and rest their tired legs on a tree bark. There is no easy way to access the second floor where the sleeping quarters...

Box full of boxes

  In the Autumn our preschool group visited the neighboring Institute of Ecology and Earth Sciences of the University of Tartu. We had a wonderful visit, we learned and saw a lot and made some new friends. So, when the scientists working there had a lot of filter tip boxes they would not use anymore, and asked if we could have any use for them, we were jumping for joy! Our preschool group took a short walk to our neighbors and came back with a big box full of boxes of different colors and sizes.  What did we do with the boxes? In preschool we each child has their own drawer, where they can keep their personal belongings. To keep their things organized, each child chose a box they liked the most. They wrote their name on it, decorated it with stickers and created a wonderful storage box for their pony tail holders, hair clips, lego pieces and all the other treasures they have. Secondly we had a fun learning experience with organizing the boxes qua size and colors, counting them...
