Australija / Australia

U prethodnim postovima sam spomenula da su djeca istraživala različite kontinente. Ovaj put na redu je Australija. Kao i za ostale kontinente, djeca su crtala znamenitosti i ostale posebnosti vezane za kontinent Australiju:
~In previous posts I mentioned that children have explored the different continents. This time, about Australia. As for other continents, the children drew monuments and other special features related to the continent of Australia: 

Zastava Australije, Opera u Sydneyu, Bumerang, Uluru
Flag of Australia, Sydney Opera House, Boomerang, Uluru 

Most u Sydneyu, životinje: klokan, čudnovati kljunaš, koala
Sydney bridge, animals: kangaroo, platypus, koala 

Mama jedne djevojčice iz grupe nam je posudila prekrasnu i zanimljivu knjigu o Australiji:
Mom of a girl from our class has borrowed us a beautiful and interesting book about Australia: 


Kao i za ostale kontinente, i za Australiju sam izradila kartice za upoznavanje tipične hrane...
~As for other continents, I made cards for the introduction of typical food in Australia ... 




 ...australskih građevina, i...
...famous buildings in Australia, and...



...životinja koje su karakteristične za Australiju.
...animals that are typical for Australia.



Kartice sa životinjama su djeca kombinirala s plastičnim životinjama koje sam predstavila u postu o razvrstavanju životinja po kontinentima.
~3 part cards with animals the children combined with the plastic animals that I presented in a post about sorting animals by continent

Jeste li znali? / Did you know?


Jeste li znali da je Jadransko more svrstano u ekološka područja u kojima je zabranjeno odlaganje otpadaka?
Ovu fotografiju sam snimila na trajektu kad sam putovala na more. Iznenadila sam se ovim podacima (znala sam da se otpad dugo razgrađuje, ali neke brojke su me zaista šokirale)...
~
Did you know that the Adriatic Sea is classified in environmental areas in which is prohibited disposal of waste? 
This photo I shot on the ferry when I traveled on my vacation. I was surprised by this information (I knew that the waste breaks down long, but some numbers are really shocked me)... 


Razgradnja otpada u moru traje:
Decomposition of waste in the sea is:
  • Papir / novine: 2-4 tjedna  /  Paper / newspapers: 2-4 weeks 
  • Vunene i pamučne tkanine: 1-12 mjeseci  /  Wool and cotton fabrics: 1-12 months
  • Obojeno drvo: 13 godina (!!!)  /  Painted wood: 13 years (!!!) 
  • Pokositrena limenka: 100 godina  /  Tinned cans: 100 years
  • Aluminijska limenka: 200-500 godina (!!!)  /  Aluminum Can: 200-500 years (!!!)
  • Plastika (ambalaža, boce, vrećice): 450 godina  /  Plastics (packaging, bottles, bags): 450 years
  • Staklo: neodređeno vrijeme  /  Glass: indefinitely

Zaista je važno čuvati prirodu za djecu i sve buduće naraštaje.
It is really important to protect the nature for our children and future generations.

My Montessori Journey (my guest post at Montessori Candy)



Danas sam gostovala na blogu Montessori Candy! Bila sam polaskana kad me Susana pitala za moju priču o počecima u Montessori programu! Susana piše seriju postova pod nazivom Montessori Journeys o iskustvima različitih ljudi s Montessori priborom i Montessori pedagogijom. 
Moju priču možete pročitati OVDJE.

I was a guest blogger at Montessori Candy!  I was flattered when Susana asked me about my Montessori Journey!  Susana in her series of posts titled Montessori Journeys  writes about the experiences of different people with the Montessori materials and the Montessori pedagogy.
