Earth Day 22.4. 2013

On Earth Day we visited in the fourth class were pupils were planting flowers and plants. We asked few questions about what they were doing.
Why are you planting ?
- We try to add knowledge about global warming. Small things matter.
What are you planting?
- Marigolds, watermelons, chilis, pumpkins, cloves and tomatoes. It's part of Comenius project, where we chanced seeds with other countries: Lithuania, Poland, Austria, Greek, Italy, France, Bulgarian and Turkey. From Finland we took turnip's seeds. The pupils took plants home, and later they will bring pictures of the growing plants to school. Some pupils wanted to plant more plants. We interviewed two of them, Elli and Ada.
What are you planting?
Elli and Ada: -Chili, rosemary and dill.
Why those plants?
Elli: -Mom wants to grow chili.
Ada: -Grandmother wants these plants.
Where are you going to grow the plants?
Elli: -At home.
Ada: -I will give them to grandmother as a gift.
How are you going to take care of the plants?
Elli: -Water them.
Ada: -Grandmother will take care of them. Thank you for interview.
