Ceremonial celebration of “Earth Day” in the Non-Public Nursery and Kindergarten “Świat Dziecka” in Siewierz

On April 24-26, 2023, a series of Earth Day classes, often called the International Mother Earth Day, was organized in the Non-Public Nursery and Kindergarten “Świat Dziecka” in Siewierz. In those days, groups of preschoolers: Smurfs, Leprechauns, Kropeczki participated in ecological workshops carried out as part of the project “Little with age, but big with eco-heart!” project no.: 2022-3-PL01-ESC30-SOL-000097905.

The aim of the workshop was to promote pro-ecological attitudes in society and to build common responsibility for our planet. Preschoolers participated in a chat about soil pollution, waste segregation, recycling. They tried to answer the question: what can we do to keep the earth clean? In the next part of the classes, the youngest participants of the project made a globe in groups using recycled materials.

The culmination of the pro-environmental knowledge gained was planting trees in the kindergarten garden. Preschoolers, under the care of preschool teachers, planted about 40 pine seedlings. The seedlings come from the Siewierz Forest Inspectorate – State Forests.

The children were very involved in activities for our planet.

Handicraft workshops in the kindergarten “Easter palm”

An important element accompanying the celebration of Easter is the Easter palm. To make it unique, you must make it yourself. Beautiful, ecological palm trees were created with the participation of our youngest participants in the project “Little with age, but big with eco-heart!” project number: 2022-3-PL01-ESC30-SOL-000097905, implemented in the Non-Public Nursery and Kindergarten “Świat Dziecka” in Siewierz. Handicraft workshops were conducted in three groups: Leprechauns, Smurfs, Dots.

Thanks to the professional guidance of preschool teachers: Mrs. Milena, Mrs. Marta, Mrs. Sylwia, as well as the involvement and efforts of the children, unique and one-of-a-kind eco-palms for Easter were created. To make a palm tree, preschoolers used ecological materials (bases, ribbons), recycled materials with the addition of natural materials (bottle caps, cartons, dry flowers) and decorative materials (cotton, tissue paper).

The effects of the work of the youngest participants of the project are presented below.

Easter eco-baskets

On March 30, 2023, a group of Smurfs, Leprechauns and Kropeczek from the Non-Public Nursery and Kindergarten “Świat Dziecka” in Siewierz participated in handicraft workshops. This time, preschoolers prepared Easter eco-baskets. The youngest showed great ingenuity and commitment. To make the baskets, the children used plastic PET bottles and string, giving these items a second life. They decorated the baskets with tissue paper, colored paper and styrofoam eggs.

The work was not easy at all, the task was difficult and demanding cooperation. From under the talented hands of preschoolers, colorful eco-baskets for Easter began to appear.

Handicraft workshops were organized as part of the European Solidarity Corps program entitled “Little with age, but big with eco-heart!” project number: 2022-3-PL01-ESC30-SOL-000097905.
