The sad Cloud - Portugal

Once upon a time there was a litle sad cloud... :-(

She wanted to be: a balloon, a plane, a buterfly...

But she only was happy when she found out how beautiful was to be a CLOUD. ;-)

"Com a cabeça nas nuvens" - Head in the Clouds"

Olímpia, the girafe! - Portugal

Clouds are back to Portugal and we are studying them with  Olímpia, the girafe!

Head in the clouds!

Com a cabeça nas nuvens!

We would like to congratulate everyone with the start of astronomical autumn and enjoy the song about the colorful clouds and rain.

Finger twister-board game from Slovenia

  

The game of cyclone-board game from Spain

Some days ago we shared from Spain pictures of our Game of Cyclone. It's very difficult for us to send you a file to print because children drew it on a big board. However, it's easy to make if you see the picture or if you take as a reference the famous Game of Goose. Now we share the rules you can follow to play the game.

Our Game of Cyclone is similar to the Game of Goose.

Players: 4-6

Materials: 1 dice, as many pieces as players.

Children can draw a board with as many spaces as they want (between 40 and 60 is good). The spaces include pictures related to weather and special spaces related to extreme weather phenomena. Players throw the dice and they move forward along the board. There are special spaces with a special treatment. These are:

- Cyclone: If the piece lands on a cyclone, it moves forward to the next cyclone. Then, throw the dice again.

- Earthquake: stay for one turn

- Draught: wait until someone comes to pull you out - they then take your place

- Thunderstorm: return your piece to the beginning

- Tsunami: If the piece lands on a tsunami, it moves forward to the next tsunami. Then, throw the dice again. Tsunami is similar to the bridge space in the Game of Goose, that is, we just include two tsunami spaces.

- Whirlwind: If the piece lands on the first whirlwind, it moves forward to the second one. If the piece lands on the second whirlwind, it moves back to the first one.

We hope you try and enjoy it!

3rd and 4th graders worked in groups and made posters (Latvia)

Students learned about clouds and extreme weather phenomena in Latvian and English.
They tried to name clouds in Latin too.

Our first graders are also involved in the project (Latvia)

For first graders it is the first project year. Pupils learned about clouds and learned to name them.
Drew clouds and extreme natural phenomena.
They watched the extreme weather phenomena on youtube, in pictures and experiments.
