=Save the White Stork - Art Competition= In Hungary people love storks. There are many songs, nursery rhymes, tales and poems about storks. Unfortunately there are less and less storks in our country. To warn people, a public fondation launched an Art Competition for children in October 2009. Some children in Stork Club decided to take part and they learnt about the storks lives.

=October Bird Day in Dub=

On October 27th, a whole day project based on Stork Club activities was prepared for the youngest pupils in Dub nad Moravou school. Children were introduced to the most famous representatives of bird world in the Czech Republic, tried many interesting activities which extended their knowledge about birds´ life and learnt a few dances, songs and games with birds´ topics. In our school, the Virtual Eden coordinator with primary teachers decided to carry out majority of activities planned for primary students as regular parts of lessons at a primary level ( forms 1 to 5 ). This integration into our school curriculum will be useful and helpful in order to ensure that all EDEN tasks will be brought to effect.

In the photo - presentation you can see children liked the project and they look forward to their next Bird Day.

Bird feeding, January 2010, Dub nad Moravou
The weather in Dub nad Moravou region has been very cold and snowy so the children from 1st and 2nd grades started working on bird feeders in January and prepared lots of delicious food for local birds. They used seeds, nuts and fat to make tasty and decorated bells which attract hungry birds to our school playground and help them survive this cruel winter.
