On 22nd May 2018 we took a nice walk around a beautiful  park in Moszna. The place is famous for very old oaks and limes. We also  visited  a castle there. 

On 15th  May 2018 our school organized a big interschool event for students with special needs in the Community Centre in Chwałowice- Eco Talent Show . The aims of the event were to present our Erasmus + project activities to the local environment and to find the eco-winner with a great eco-talent. First the multimedia presentation on the project activities was shown and then the talent contest started. Besides the SOS-W, five different institution took part in the contest. The contestants gave short   perfomances (dance, poem, song, etc.) referring to the motto: “Future for planet-future for us”. There were no losers, all contestants did their best and were awarded. After the artistic part on stage,we had a really nice tee/coffee time altogether.      

On 26th April and 10th May 2018 (we were divided into two groups) we went on   a school nature trip to the Bison Breeding an d Forest Education Center in Jankowice (near Pszczyna).

As part of our project ans also as a preparation for the coming visit of our parteners we asked everybdy to write about their country specific tree and then we bought  them and plant it in our school yard . This activity is aimed also to raise awareness upon the deforestration that is affecting a lot our areas in Romania . Deforestration is a big challenge for us because there are a lot of illegal wood cuts and people think for a material benefit but dot see the impact of this on human life, animal life  and land sliding.

Inside the Erasmus + project activities , at the end of March,our pupils payed a visit to the local Agency for water administration ( ABA Siret -Bacau) where they had the oportunity to see how we measure the quality of water we drink and use in our homes and institution. In the laboratory they could see and experience themselves how it is done.
