Comenius goes BUGA

Here are a few pictures of our presentation on the BUGA 2011 (the federal gardening festival in Koblenz). On two days we showed some of our results and made with the visitors some exercises to stay fit in every day life. We really enjoyed these days.

Just a few photos of our visit to Concarneau.

Julius-Wegeler-School: Our Results so far

We prepared a concept of different things we would like to change and showed to our headmaster to get his permission. - He had no objections!!
So far we have have bought several differnt soft balls (e.g. for volleyball, football) and a frisbee which can be used during the breaks. And we bought some gymnastic balls which can be used for sitting in the classroom. They help to keep an upright position while sitting.
After the Easter break we will mark special areas on the schoolyard for playing ball. Also we want to install new benches and get table football and a couch for our school.
In addition there we will have a day when we sell fruits and smoothies and as the end of our project a health day.
On 23 and 24 May we will present our results on the BUGA, the national flower exhibition in Koblenz.

We are pleased to tell you about the results of our Health Day. Due to the lack of funds available we decided to work on an awareness day where we could tell the students of the school about all the things that we had learnt during the work on the project and hope that they would make use of the information. Following on from this we hope to take our ideas to the School Council and get some of our suggestions put into practice. In our "theatre" we presented our work to 300 students. It lasted for about two hours. We made presentations on the 5 aspects of health that we had decided on at the beginning of the year. First the class 4EL presented a series of power point presentations about food :- Secondly the class 4CL acted a play to demonstrate the importance of consuming the correct drinks. Thirdly the class 4AL presented a series of power point and a video on physical activity and sports. Fourthly the class 4BL presented a series of presentations about attitude to school and making the school a better place with videos about behaviour in class. Finally the class 4DL presented a comic strip, presentation, acting scene and two songs about the dangers connected with smoking and taking drugs. We hope the students learnt something from this.

Healthy Snack Sells Smoothly...

Hi everyone!

We are happy to inform you that today we have lauched our next activity - preparing and selling smoothies made of fresh fruit! We were all a bit nervous at the beginning but it went all "smoothly" and at the end we have sold 24 cups of banana smoothie in 15 minutes!

Considering there are about 200 students present at school today (about 50 students have gone for their skiing course in Austria), that means about one in nine students opted for a healthy snack!

We plan to organize this every two weeks. Next time we will also take some photos...

A Healthy Day in Hranice

Hi everyone!

First of all, let all Czech project team wish you a wonderful New Year 2011!

Shortly before Christmas (21 Dec) our school organized a Healthy Day for all students, which was an activity planned within our project.

We decided to offer something for all students, not only for those who already do some sports regularly.

The event started at 9:30 in a gym. At the beginning there was a football match between classes.

Then the girls had an opportunity to try zumba dancing followed by a volleyball match between students and teachers.

All in all, it was really nice to spend an active morning before a Christmas season full of food...

Happy new year 2011
