Lectures

On November 21, 2023, at the Private Nursery and Kindergarten “Child’s World” in Siewierz, a lecture was held during which children from the kindergarten group: Pixies, Smurfs and Dots were looking for answers to the questions: How to protect animals? How to take care of them, especially in winter? How important an impact do animals and birds have on our environment?

Preschoolers brought to classes from home photos or drawings of animals they like, which arouse positive feelings in them, and those whose sight disturbs them, disgusts them, or which they do not like. They learned about different species of birds and animals. The lecture aimed to:

– arouse children’s interest in the fate of animals, especially during winter;

– developing a caring attitude towards birds and forest animals.

To sum up the activities, children in subgroups, under the supervision of preschool teachers, made bird feeders together. Beautiful works of art were created from: tree bark, autumn leaves, and wooden plywood.

The punch line of the lecture was the following: “An animal, as a living being capable of feeling suffering, is not a thing. Man owes him respect, care and protection.

The lecture and workshops were organized as part of the project: “Little with age, but big with eco-heart” project number: 2022-3-PL01-ESC30-SOL-000097905.

Since September this year, 6-year-old preschoolers from the Tigers group attending the Public Kindergarten. Winnie the Pooh in Sarnów entered kindergarten and now they attend the “Wise Owls” group. This is the oldest group of preschoolers taking part in the project: “Little with age, but big with eco-heart”. Under the care of their preschool teacher, Mrs. Magda, children learn about the world, discover their interests and develop social skills, and learn about nature. They are always willing and ready for various types of trips.
On October 2, 2023 the “Wise Owls” group participated in a trip to the Education Center of the Siewierz Forest District. Once there, all the children greeted the foresters. At the beginning, employees of the Siewierz Forest District conducted a talk with preschoolers about ecology, the environment and caring for nature, and gave a gift in the form of a seedling to the entire kindergarten. Later, they showed the children the animal and bird exhibits at the Center. The children listened and recognized the sounds of animals, recognized them by their tracks, recognized tree species, and learned about the working tools of lumberjacks in the past and today. The children liked the animals the most: a wild boar, a squirrel, a hedgehog, a badger, and birds.
A walk along the educational path was also fun because the children collected chestnuts and acorns, saw a pasture, a nesting box, a hunting lodge, and wonderful tree specimens.
The summary was a visit to the pond of pond turtles lying in the sun.

The end of the trip is roasting sausages, singing together by the bonfire and having fun.
The donated seedling will definitely be found in the kindergarten garden.

The trip was organized as part of the project “Little with age, but big with eco-heart”: project number: 2022-3-PL01-ESC30-SOL-000097905.

The lecturer, Mrs. Magda – a pre-school education teacher, told the preschoolers the history of honey hunting, explained what it is and how honey is produced and what types of honey there are. During the speech, she also drew attention to the high properties of honeycomb, which strengthens the gums and protects the teeth. The lecture was very interesting and interesting.
