Još malo o cvijeću... / More about the flowers...

Drago mi je da je prethodni post o aktivnostima na temu Cvijeće izazvao mnogo pozitivnih reakcija :-)
Pa, evo još malo aktivnosti s istom temom. Neke od ovih aktivnosti sam već opisivala, ali budući da sam ih ponovo provodila s djecom, spomenula sam ih i u ovom postu.
~
I am glad that the previous post about the activities on the subject of flowers caused a lot of positive feedback :-) 
Well, here's a little more activities on the same topic. Some of these activities I have described before, but since I did the same activities again, I mentioned them in this post too. 


Plakati: dijelovi biljke, dijelovi korijena, kako raste sjeme (životni ciklus biljke), zaštićene biljke i od lukovice do biljke.
~
Posters: parts of plant, parts of the root, how to grow seeds (life cycle of the plant), endangereded plants and cycle - from bulb to plant. 


Kartice: zaštićene biljke u Republici Hrvatskoj (planinski jaglac, hrvatska perunika, gospina papučica, velebitska degenija, runolist, višecvjetni sunovrat, kockavica, primorski slak, kranjski ljiljan i kitajbelov jaglac)
~
3 part cards: endangered plants in Croatia






Djeca su crtala zaštićene biljke, od crteža smo napravili plakat.
~
Children drew endangered plants and we made a poster of children's drawings.




Pridruživanje naziva cvijetu na slici (kontrolni naziv cvijeta se nalazi pored fotografije, a kontrola su i kvadratići unutar kojih djeca stavljaju pločice sa slovima)
~
Matching photo and name of the flower (control of error is the name of a flower next to the pictures, and squares within the children put the tablets with letters) 



Za stariju djecu sam pripremila ploču bez kontrolnih naziva, samo s kvadratićima u koje se umeću slova.
~
For older children: I prepared a board without name of the flower, only the squares for inserting tablets with letters.


Djeca su i sama osmislila slične aktivnosti / vježbe - na primjer, slaganje naziva cvijeta na plakate s fotografijama (fotografije cvijeća su iz raznih kalendara)
~
Children are readjusted activities / exercises - for example, they put names of flowers on posters with photographs of flowers (photos are from different calendars) 

Zatim su na papir pisali slova i izrezivali ih:
Then they wrote letters on paper and cut them out: 
 


Kartice za bogaćenje rječnika: Cvijeće (visibaba, ruža, narcisa, maćuhica, karanfil, gladiola, ljiljan i dalija)
~
Vocabulary enrichment cards: Flowers (snowdrop, rose, narcissus, pansy, carnation, gladiolus, lily, and dahlia)





Kartice za uparivanje: cvijet i sjemenka. Sjemenke se nalaze u prozirnim vrećicama koje na poleđini imaju kontrolnu točku. Djeca ih mogu pridruživati karticama koje sadrže fotografiju i naziv (starija djeca koja su već dobro naučila razlikovati sjemenke i koja znaju čitati, mogu raditi bez kartica s fotografijama).
~
Cards: flower and seed. Seeds are in a plastic bags with control dots on the back. Children can match them with cards containing a photo and name (older children who have learned to distinguish seeds and can read, can work without the cards with photos). 




Kontrola pogreške / Control of error:


Razvrstavanje cvijeća po mjestu staništa (šuma, močvara, livada). Post o tome.
~
Classification of flowers in the place of habitats (forest, wetland, meadow). Old post about it.



Kontrola pogreške: na pozadini svake kartice i u gornjem desnom uglu ploče nalazi se točka iste boje.
~

Control of error: on the back of each card and in the top right corner of the board is a dot of the same color. 


Uzgojeno i samoniklo cvijeće. Parovi se sastoje od samoniklog i uzgojenog cvijeta (budući da je vježba zahtjevnija, radila su ju djeca od 4,5 godine na dalje).
Na karticama su: narcisa, maćuhica, jaglac, ruža, ciklama, ljiljan, perunika, karanfil, ljubičica, orhideja
~
Cultivated and wild flowers. Pairs consisting of wild and cultivated flower (since the exercise is challenging, it is for children from 4,5 onwards). 
On the cards are: daffodil, pansie, primrose, rose, cyclamen, lily, iris, carnation, violet, orchid 




Čitanje uz predmete. Ovaj put sam se orijentirala na različite vrste (umjetnog) cvijeća umjesto nepovezane predmete (kala, ljiljan, orhideja, ivančica, karanfil, ruža).
~
Reading with objects. This time I prepaired a different kind of (artificial) flowers instead of unrelated items (calla, lily, orchid, daisy, carnation, rose).




Također smo razvrstavali umjetno cvijeće po boji. O tome pročitajete OVDJE.
~
We also sorted the artificial flowers by color. You can read about it HERE.

Cvijeće / Flowers

Jedan dulji period proučavali smo temu cvijeće (u sklopu projekta o biljkama). U ovom postu dajem pregled nekih aktivnosti.
~
We studied the topic of flowers (as part of the project about plants) for a longer period. In this post I give an overview of some activities. 


Dijelovi cvijeta kako ih je vidjelo dijete - tučak, prašnici, latice, čaška ili lapovi:
~Parts of a flower as seen by a child - pistil, stamens, petals, sepal:

Perforiranje papira s pribadačom (djeca se ne mogu zasititi ove aktivnosti!):
~Pin-punching (children can not get enough of this activity!):

Hvatanje vrhovima prstiju - plastično i gumeno cvijeće:
~Transferring with fingertips plastic and rubber flowers (erasers):

Djeci je bilo zanimljivo slušati tupe udarce gumenih cvjetova u staklo:
It was interesting for children to hear the dull shock rubber flowers in a glass: 

Grabljenje - cvijeće / Spooning - flowers:


Prenošenje umjetnih latica s kvačicom (ovu vježbu sam prvi put djeci ponudila ovog proljeća, umjesto pincete sam stavila kvačicu kako bi im bilo zanimljivije). Iako je hvatanje latica s kvačicom zahtjevnije nego s pincetom, djeca su se oduševila s ovom promjenom:
~
Transfer of artificial petals with a clothespin (I offered this exercise to children this spring for the first time, instead of tweezers I put a clothespin to make it more interesting for them). Although transferring petals with a clothespin is more demanding than with tweezers, the children were delighted with this change: 


Nizanje plastičnih cvjetova / Stringing plastic flowers:



Proljetos smo ispred naše sobe dnevnog boravka posadili mali vrt (ovo je fotografija u početnoj fazi - kako je kasnije izgledao, vidjet ćete u jednom od narednih postova). Djeca su samostalno sijala sjeme cvijeća i sadila.
~We have planted a small garden in front of our classroom this spring (this is a photograph of an early stage - you'll see in a later posts how the garden looked like later). Children were individually sown the seed and planted flowers. 

Razvrstavanje plastičnih cvjetova po veličini / Sorting by size - plastic flowers:


Razvrstavanje cvjetova (od filca) po boji / Sorting by color - felt flowers:

Razvrstavanje umjetnih gerbera po boji - narančasti i bijeli:
~Sorting gerbera by color - orange and white:



Pribor koji sam pripremila za zabavu i opuštanje (besplatan download možete pronaći ovdje, na Play 2 Learn Printables):
~I prepared this material for fun and relaxation (free download available here, at Play 2 Learn Printables): 


Brojke i žetoni (umjesto žetona sam pripremila cvjetiće):
~Numerals and counters (I put flowers instead of chips):
 


Izrada vlastite knjižice brojeva sa štambiljima s cvjetom (mala sličica):
~Number booklet with flower stamps (thumbnail):
Dijete u knjižicu piše brojeve i pored njih otisne odgovarajući broj cvjetića.
~A child write the numbers in her booklet and stamping the appropriate number of flowers next to them. 

Lopoči (crni flomaster i pastela) / Water lily (black marker and pastels):

Lopoč (olovka, drvene boje) / Water lily (pencil, colored pencils):

Vodene biljke (drvene boje): lopoč, žuti lokvanj, vodoljub, perunika
~Aquatic plants (colored pencils): water lily, yelow water lily, flowering rush, yellow iris

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.  
You can read my Montessori Journey HERE.
