Christmas ecological workshops for parents and eco contest in SOS-W




On 8th December 2017, a group of our parents were involved in school Christmas Floristy Workshops "Christmas decorations made from natural materials". They used i.a. pine-cones, bark or moss to create various awesome Christmas decorations. 


 But, we  took part in the workshops organised in our school common room. Our task was to make  Christmas floral table decorations too.


Additionally, some of us participated in the school Christmas contest "Eco angel and eco Christmas tree".We all had a great time together!
