Preschool visiting the Estonian University of Life Sciences

Image
This spring preschool has been talking about different professions.  Also taking a closer look at professions we don't see in everyday life, but we come daily in contact with their products or services.  That is why we decided to visit the Food and Technology Faculty of  Estonian University of Life Sciences. On a snowy Wednesday morning, our preschool group took the bus to meet Andres, a researcher of food science and technology.  We did the necessary preparations, such as changing shoes, washing our hands thoroughly, to enter the research laboratory.  At first, we got to do some practical activity- we made butter.

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   .

Tiny radish plants emerged from soil collected from school yard… … and other ones from soil brou...

Student habits helping the planet

How the small things can make a difference Today in Grade 6 Science lesson we talked about the little yet so important things all students and their families can do to keep the planet healthy and clean. Below you see the good ideas and examples of students. Whenever I am with my mom I walk to school because our house is very close. We use wooden straws. We also collect bottles and put them in the recycle bin. Sometimes when I see trash on the ground I throw it away in the trash bin.   Me and my family go every year 4 times in the forest and clean  the part that belongs to us. Most of the time my grandpa and my and my cousins also help. Me and my family collect bottles and every year we recycle them and then we get money back.  And we also put BIOwaste in sink food crusher. It works like that you put BIOwaste and it chops it to pieces.  And everyday I come to school on a scooter.And everyday I come to school on a scooter. I don't really do this kind of stuff like I do...
