EU-projekt

Naturskolan deltar i ett projekt inom EU:s ram, under Commenius 1, tillsammans med skolor i två andra länder.

Projektet handlar om hur man kan studera naturen på nära håll i allmänhet och fjärilar och vatten i synnerhet.

Deltagande skolor: Löttingelundsskolan i Täby, Ekebyskolan i Danderyd, Europaskolan i Bryssel samt en skola i Portugal.

Löttingelundsskolan har vidgat sin uppgift och kallar sin del för de tre F:n: Fjärilar, Fåglar och Fladdermöss.

BIRDS - BATS - BUTTERFLIES

This is a briefly description about an European cooperating between three countries.

In september 1998 we started in Täby, just north of Stockholm, a Project at Löttingeskolan. The Project is called Educational Natural Reserve ENR. It´s a project between one school in Portugal, one in Belgium and two in Sweden; one in Danderyd and one in Täby. This summery is about the school in Täby; Löttingelundsskolan.

We have focused our part in the Project at the three B:s: Birds, Bats and Butterflies.

What have we done so far?

Meeting nr. 1 18th of September 1998

Purpose: A day to know each other and the nature a little bit more.

Excercises:

  • Run and bring: The pupils are standing in a cirkle and are forced to bring different things from the nature.
  • Treasures: There are lot of treasures in the nature... You just have to open your mind. The pupils are encouraged to look for different tresures in the nature.
  • Painting: The woods in Sweden are full of blueberries. You need a sheet of paper and some blueberries. Use the berry as a colour in a pain box and then paint a butterfly ...
  • Butterflies: 10 butterflynets and children full od eager... We caught white and yellow butterflies.

Experiences: We have to move slowly in the Project! We can´t hurry up. we must know each other and the special thing to be outside.

Meeting nr. 2 15th of September 1998

Purpose: To look at and listen to some bats in the evening.

  • First I told the pupils some facts about bats and we heard several sounds of bats from a taperecorder. The sounds were transformed in a way suiting the hearing of a man.
  • A game about bats and their sounds.
  • A detector and the ears turning to the open sky.

Experinces: I hoped that a magic feeling was abled to spread into the minds of the children, a special batfeeling, but it didn´t work. The pupils had too much to do with themselves.

Meeting nr. 3 the second of November 1998

Purpose: A repetition of the last evening about bats and some new experiences about butterflies.

  • We repeted the game about bats and their sounds.
  • We tried to dramatize the life of butterflies: egg, caterpillar, pupa and adult.
  • We studied a special bush. "The lemon-butterfly" put its eggs on the leaf of this bush.

Experiences: It works better. We know each other and the pupils are more familiar about outdoor activities.

Meeting nr. 4 the 21st of November 1998

Purpose: The life of the three B:s on a winterday.

  • Birds: We counted all birds that we saw for 10 minutes.
  • Bats: We played a game two and two, about bats.
  • Butterflies: A game about eggs and butterflies.

Meeting nr. 5 the 26th of January 1998

The class walked 2 km to a lappcot, which was a typical kind of tent for the northern people in Sweden. The day was cold and snowy and we worked with the problems of the birds staying in the cold Sweden in the winter.
