the summary of
2015/2016

2. What did we do last year
in Zespół Szkół nr 34 in
Toruń within the
Erasmus+ project „Help
the Earth: reduce, reuse,
recycle?”

3. We:
 conducted the logo contest,
 spent 2 Erasmus nights at school, building the
mock-up city and doing the videoconference,
 tested the Baltic Sea and Vistula River water,
 started the garden task,
 organised the event „Taking care of
Czerniewice” which was our local natural
concern task.

4. Garden
Our garden isn’t very big as you could
see, but it is OURS. Not only the
Erasmus+ club students took part in
the task. Also the students who don’t
participate in this project were willing
to come and to take care of the garden.
We worked after our lessons with three
or four teachers helping us!

6. Water research
The aim of our experiments and this project task
was to check the properties of different kinds of
water. Properties are the aspects of food, water
and other substances that one can experience,
including taste, sight, smell, and touch. The water
tests were conducted in May and June 2016 by
junior high school students with their chemistry
teacher Agnieszka Zawal. The Baltic Sea water in
general is not tested in terms of all those
parameters. The Sanitary-Epidemiological Institute
in Puck explains that they examine the usefulness
of sea water (coast water) for bathing reasons.

8. First Erasmus night
On the first Erasmus night we had
a videochat with partner schools from
Greece and Slovenia. We could introduce
ourselves, say something about us and
show our Christmas decorations. After that
we were eating a pizza and then we went
to our gym to have more fun - we were
playing table tennis, basketball and
football there.

10. Second Erasmus night
On the second night we started making
a model of our city (the mock-up city task).
Our students brought useless plastic bottles
and cartons. We were having a lot of fun while
we were making this model, everyone had an
idea to do a new thing. When we did some big
part of it, we had free time to watch a film,
rest or play hide-and-seek.

12. Taking care of Czerniewice – the
local natural concern task
In March 2016 our younger friends from class 2A
with their teacher Katarzyna Rudewicz organised an
action aiming at cleaning the school neighbourhood
and littered forests. It was our local natural concern
task because many people leave a lot of trash in
inappropriate places such as forests. The school
community was involved. We collected all the
rubbish, put it in a pile and it was taken by the
Municipal Cleaning Service. Everybody had a lot
of fun as you can see in the pictures.

15. Mobilities:
We took part in 3 meetings. The first one was an organisational
transnational meeting in the main coordinator’s school in Las
Palmas (the principal Beata Hoppe and Daniel Szczygieł took
part in it) in November 2015.
Then the first project meeting took place in Espoo, Finland, in
February 2016. Aleksandra Lewandowska, Julianna Marek
and Zuzanna Gamańska with teachers Agnieszka Zawal and
Dominika Szczygieł went there.
In April 2016 the second project meeting was organized in Las
Palmas de Gran Canaria. Alicja Szanciło, Hubert Maciejewski
and Miłosz Berć with teachers Katarzyna Rudewicz and
Dominika Szczygieł participated in the meeting.
