Our green ‘classroom’ – in each school yard students have  worked on creating a green area, where they have planted flowers,trees, aromatic plants, etc. They have also created garden items from recycled materials. This is a space created by them, where they can learn about creating a green space, but also to relax and enjoy the fresh air and inspiring setting. When the weather is nice, certain lessons can be held here. This is very important, especially now, after the Covid 19 context, when spending time outdoors has become essential in stopping the pandemic.

Students started working on this activity in early spring. They did research about the plants that are suitable for their region (soil properties, average rainfall, temperature over the year, etc.).

The last step will be to take care and use this green area as a place for learning and recreation during lessons and breaks.
