THE MAYOR OF NAVÀS VISITS US AT SCHOOL

Navàs, 9th April 2018: The Mayor of Navas visits us at school

Today we lived a good experience in class because Mr. Jaume Casals, the Mayor of Navàs came to give us a reply of the letter we brought him in March after the Action "Let's Clean Up Europe". He congratulated us for all the actions we are doing and encouraged us to spread our good habits to our families, friends, neighbourhood and everywhere. He said: " You are the key of the future"
Thanks Mr Jaume, we will keep doing our best!

Here is his letter with the reply: he and the councilors are working on our proposal. let the river Llobregat shore become a leasure place for people to go for a walk, to have a picnic etc. 

After the letter, we could show him some of the activities we have been doing during our eTwinning project " URRRGENT! Europe's knocking at the door" such as: the " Climate Action Project" in October, The EWWR in November, " the garlic soup", the Eco-calendar in January... and he also told us about the food waste study and research that the Council has done in Navàs. It seems that that people throw a lot of food and he told us that WE NEED TO WORK ON FOOD WASTE A LOT! 

ECO-CALENDAR 2018

Pupils in Grade 5 have created an eco-calendar for 2018, as our purpose is to make the Earth a better place.
The calendar is part of an eTwinning project called "URRRGENT! europe's knocking at the door"

Un projecte del Col·legi Sant Josep de Navàs escollit candidat al IX Premi Europeu de la Prevenció de Residus

Dear friends,
We are glad to announce you that our project "URRRGENT! Europe's knocking at the door" has been selected as a candidate for the European prize.
Last Wednesday 24th January the Regional TV Canal Taronja came to school to interview the pupils and the teacher.

This is their report:

L’Agència de Residus de Catalunya ha presentat sis projectes catalans al IX Premi Europeu de la Prevenció de Residus, que es donarà a conèixer en una cerimònia a finals de maig a Brussel·les.
Entre els candidats seleccionats hi ha el projecte dels alumnes de 5è de primària col·legi Sant Josep de Navàs que competeix en l’apartat Cooperació entre regions i que es titula “URRRGENT! Europe’s knocking at the door.” L’Agència l’ha seleccionat tenint en compte la relació de les activitats amb els eixos de la Setmana Europea de la Prevenció de Residus, celebrada el novembre passat, l’originalitat de la proposta, i el seu caràcter innovador. Des del centre navassenc estant satisfets de seguir participant en projectes europeus
El treball seleccionat es basa a donar nova vida a objectes utilitzats, des d’ampolles convertides en dispensadors de bosses de plàstic o el programa de malbaratament d’aliments on es va presentar la reutilització del pa sec a través de la sopa d’all.
Els alumnes tenen 10 anys, es relacionen amb altres alumnes de centres europeus i comparteixen projectes sobre les tres erres, reduir, reutilitzar i reciclar. Diversos alumnes explicaven el que havien fet i les seves experiències.
És un projecte eTwinning entre el col·legi sant Josep de Navàs i l’escola grega 1st Experimental Primary School d’Alexandroupoli. Les escoles han compartit propostes per treballar el concepte “donem-li una nova vida”.
