الحديقة متعة وجمال

الحديقة ....عندما تسمع إسم حديقة يخطر ببالك اللعب ، الترفيه ،المتعة والطبيعة الخلابةوالحديقة تعني الصّغير كما الكبير
التّلوث البيئي خطر يهدد خياتنا اليومية سواء كان التّلوّث هوائياًأو مائياً أو تلوّث للتربة
لذا كان خوف أطفال روضة عثمان ذي النّورين على تربة حديقة الصّنائع خوفاً كبيراً فعزموا على تنظيفها وتنقيبها فجمعوا الأوساخ ووضعوها داخل سلل مزيّنة بالورود كانوا قد صنعوها بأنفسهم وتركوها كهدية للحديقة للمساعدة على التّخفيف من حدة التّلوث البيئي
فليكن هوءلاء الأطفال قدوة لنا

The March Of The Frogs

Kindergarten and grade one students have joined the ENO Climate Change Campaign this year and it was so interesting and successful.

We marched down the street with "Frank the Frog" who was hungry for pledges. We met a lot of people who were so kind to feed "Frank" with pledges of how to save the environment. "Frank", for sure, enjoyed his healthy breakfast and thanked every and each one for being so helpful.

with the mayor Mr. El- Ariss and Dr. El- Alayli

with Miss Adla Shatila and Dr. Kamel Dallal

We were looking forward for this year's ENO Climate Change Campaign project. The campaign started with a visit to President Amine Daouk, Miss Adla Shatila, and Dr. Kamel Dallal. They previewed our special ENO picture album, signed our pledge and fed "Frank The Frog" with their own pledges.
Our next stop was Beirut Municipality. We handed a letter to the mayor Mr. El Ariss with a plea for some changes we would like to see in our city, Beirut. The mayor promised us that our requests will be considered.
Dr. El Alayli, the head of the environment committee in the municipality also met us. We were overwhelmed by his warm welcome and generous hospitality.
Special thanks goes to Mr. Amine Daouk, Miss Adla Shatila, and Dr. Kamel Dallal for always showing enthusiasm to share in our various projects. Your cooperation is very much appreciated.
Gratitude also goes to Mrs. Rola Ajouz for giving us the opportunity to visit the municipality and meet municipality members. A big thank you to the mayor and to Dr. El Alayli.

We would also like to thank Mr. Mika Vanhanen, ENO Director, for your dedication and hard work! You all contributed in making this activity a very successful one!

"A selection of the children’s waste sculptures will be presented to the participants of COP15 as a part of the planned "Children’s Creative ClimateCamp" which will take place in Ballerup and Rødovre from 2-6 December 2009. The children’s waste sculptures and their short climate statements will be regarded as the voices of the children."

UN Climate Change Conference

Our School has participated in the introductory seminar of "Things Talk", an international climate and waste art project for children conducted by Cross Cultures Project Association (CCPA).
The education project, Things Talk - Children, Climate Change, and Waste Art, aims to provide the children of the world with an opportunity to be heard in the global debate on climate change. Things Talk creates a global platform, where children can get a chance to speak about their ideas, concerns and future dreams in relation to how climate changes will affect the world they live in both locally and globally. The project is also about experiencing and sharing one's experiences, dreams and thoughts with others. It is therefore possible for all classes that complete the project, to share photos and thoughts with children in other parts of the country and the world.
Special thanks to the UN for giving us the opportunity to be part of this program.

ENO Tree Planting Day: September 2009

Our school year has started in a very special way. We have participated in the ENO Tree Planting day and joined more than 2500 schools in 122 countries. This event is a practical way of enhancing environmental and global education. It connects children
all over the world to focus on environmental issues. What is more, the event fosters peace
education and increases the awareness of school children of the importance of forests on a global scale. The planting of trees took place everywhere at noon local time. The first to start was Tonga in Oceania and as the Sun and Earth continued to turn, Asia, Africa and Europe joined in as well. Some time later the continents of North and South America grabbed the hoe, and last area to participate was Samoa Islands. The world has taken a remarkable step towards a more ecological way of life.

We would like to thank Mr. Mika Vanhanen, the coordinator of ENO-Environment Online in Joensuu Finland, for his extra ordinary effort to make this event a successful one...

Muffin Cup Sunflowers

What makes a flower so pretty?????

We made crafty posters to learn about parts of plants. We opened and pressed flat paper muffin cups. Then we drew stems and leaves with crayons. Finally, we glued seeds to the center of the flowers.

ENO Tree Planting Day: Going Greener

For the second time, we've participated in the ENO Tree Planting Day Event. The aim was to plant trees at midday, in every corner of the world. The first trees were planted at noon in Oceania. Following the Sun, new trees were put to earth in Asia, Europe and Africa. Finally this chain of trees reached Americas, so the globe has turned on its axis.

Tree planting is important for us at Makassed Khalil Shehab School. We have participated in the first event and were more than happy to take part in the second. Firstly, it reminds us of the nature and the importance of environmental protection. Secondly, it is a symbol for the international co-operation.
We decided to go to Sanayeh Park on May 22nd. Grades One, Two, and Three took part in this event. Different activities were done by Grades One and Two students at school. Grade One students showed how crafty they are by making a muffin cup sunflower. Their creative talents were unveiled when they created a crafty poster. They also learned about the parts of a plant.

Grade Two students did two activities. The first one was called "Eggheads". They saved egg shells, then cracked the shells open and used the bottom halves. Next, they drew faces on the shells with markers. After that, students planted seeds inside the egg shell. The last step was to watch the "hair" grow on the egg heads.
The second activity of Grade Two students had to do with crafts. Each student made his own dove using plastic plates and spoons.
Grade Two and three students were eager to participate in this event, so they brought their own plants, spades, and gloves. On May 22nd, accompanied by their English Language teachers, they went to Sanayeh Park. They eagerly ran to the empty places in the park to plant their plants. They helped each other digging and planting their seeds and plants in the soil. Then, they marched around the park. They stopped to speak to some people about their work and even took pictures with them. Next, they tried to fly the doves as far as they could into the air. It was a sign of their innocence and freedom. They are choosing a new way, a new beginning to make the world a better place for them. Their choice was to go greener, respect Mother Earth, and save life on our beautiful planet.
Keep a green tree in your heart and perhaps a singing bird will come!
