Hello! We are the children of Seeds of Europe!

We are children and teachers from different European countries. Together we explored nature, seasons, plants, food, science, art and friendship.

We learned that even if we speak different languages, we can still grow together like flowers in the same garden.

“Europe became our classroom!”

Activity for readers:

Draw yourself as a flower. What colors would your petals have?

Write the name of your country:

Foods:

It all began with a tiny seed.

A seed held in our hands.
A seed almost invisible.
And yet, powerful enough to bring together children from different countries under the same

European sky.

During this journey, we observed nature, listened to the wind, collected data, built gardens, programmed robotic bees, and learned that ideas, just like seeds, need care in order to grow.

“Dear little plant, today I saw you grow a little more…”
“I promise I will take care of you.”
“I am growing together with you.”

On the classroom windowsill, small gardens full of stories, emotions, and wonder began to bloom.

We were not only helping a plant grow.
We were learning to grow too.

Now it’s your turn to plant a seed!

We planted our seeds with care.Every day we looked at them, watered them and waited patiently.We discovered that a seed needs soil, water, light and love to grow. Now it’s your turn!

Choose a seed.
Plant it in a small pot.
Water it carefully.
Observe it every day.

Draw what happens

after one day,

four day and one week.

one day

four day

one week

When I put my hands in the soil, I felt a little happiness inside me.

During our project, we observed nature around us.
We looked at plants, flowers, leaves, insects, clouds and seasons.

We learned that nature is full of small details, but we need time and attention to notice them.

I am a stick insect.

What seeds can you find?

Draw them or create your own “Seed Box”.

Now it’s your turn!

Go outside and look carefully around you.

Can you find:

one flower,one leaf,one insect,one natural sound,one beautiful colour...

Draw or write what you discovered.

The sky above us

We observed: clouds,rain,wind,sun

We discovered that the sky we see every morning connects us with the rest of Europe.

Your turn!

Look outside the window.What is the weather like today?

Try to create your own weather calendar.

Weather Explorers

We built: an anemometer to observe the wind and a rain gauge to measure the rain

Every day we observed the sky and recorded:clouds, rain, wind,sunshine

We felt like real meteorologists!

Build your own anemometer

We built a small anemometer to see how strong the wind is.
When the wind blows, the cups spin: the faster they spin, the stronger the wind is.

Anemometer: https://www.canva.com/design/DAG-CMUcRmA/YHVJg0SU3ejHrVgnOYkFAw/watch?utm_content=DAG-CMUcRmA&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=h0d0420a32b

Materials:
4 paper cups, 2 sticks or straws, 1 pencil with an eraser, 1 pin, tape, crayons.

Steps:

I crossed the sticks like a plus sign.

I taped one cup to each end.

With my teacher’s help, I fixed the middle to the pencil eraser with a pin.

I went outside and watched
the cups spin in the wind.

Add a photo of your anemometer.

Would you like to build your own rain gauge? Watch the tutorial and try to create one using simple recycled materials.

Materials: A round plastic bottle, a ruler, a permanent marker, some small stones, scissors and tape.

Steps:

Cut the bottle with an adult.

Put stones at the bottom.

Turn the top part upside down.

Fix it with tape.

Draw the marks.

Put it outside and measure the rain.

Add a photo of your rain gauge.

Compare the amount of rain collected in your rain gauge with the data from online weather apps.

Nothing is really waste.We used:dry leaves,used paper,vegetable scraps,to create new things.

We discovered that in nature everything can transform.

Collecting Black Tea Wastes

You can colour it if you want, and you can use the rainwater collected in the rain gauge.
