Postcards from Spain

Before summer and at Christmas we sent our Spanish partner students cards in which we told them how we were doing with Covid-19. We also sent letters on the subject of the environment, what we can do to protect it, what we had done during the summer vacation and how we celebrated Christmas.

A few days ago we received colorful cards that they had designed themselves. On each card there is a creative drawing that goes with the theme of our project or with Covid-19. In the messages, they tell us how they spent Christmas, their opinion on Corona, what they are planning to do in the summer holidays and of course what they are doing for the environment.

We are very happy that we know such a nice and creative partner class, with whom we go through a difficult and complicated time and still work together on such an important project.

Thank you for your effort!

New Waste Management System

Waste separation at MS/VBS In der Krim and IES Torre del Rey

We have a new waste separation system in our school. We separate paper, plastic and residual waste and have acquired new rubbish bins for this purpose. In addition to the existing residual waste bin, there is now a new red paper bin and a yellow bin for the plastic bottles. In each class there are information cards that explain what goes in which rubbish bin.

We want to convey to the students that they not only pay attention to waste separation at school, but also at home. In doing so, everyone makes an important contribution to the environment. Why did we do that? In some classes the waste separation did not work at all. With the new rubbish bins, it is clearer for everyone what belongs where. The Erasmus group regularly checks each class to see whether the waste separation works better. So far it looks good!
