Cleaning the river Oder and the adjacent floodplain forests in the territory of the town of Ostrava-South PLA Poodri

At the end of March we started the approved grant project supported by the Office of the Region "Cleaning the river Oder and the adjacent floodplain forests in the territory of the town of Ostrava-South PLA Poodri" to be apart from cleaning the surroundings of this river also environmental awareness and education of students through lectures and field trips PLA personnel Poodří, biological practice in the field and laboratory, visit OZO Ostrava, communication with extra-curricular subjects and a final report with photographic documentation. This project is designed for students second, third and fourth grade.

With this grant and the school funds buy a new 3 inflatable canoes and 3 stereoscopic binocular microscopes, which in turn will help improve the quality of teaching biology and physical education at our school. During the entire project will be on the school website to present our results and photos from this event.

Final project report (cz)

On 27th and 28th June 2006, some classes of Sports Secondary School attended the rafting of river Opava from Haj ve Slezsku to Ostrava-Trebovice. Going down this fairly simple, but beautiful meandering river, it was the summer holidays as a great enrichment for cantors, and for students. They learn basic whitewater skills under the guidance of experienced paddlers from Campanulla association, who came to meet us, and must be appropriately compliment. In this way we also use our boats purchased by a grant from the Yukon company, which proved its stability, especially for pupils of Prime class. In the future we want to organize a little wilder water, so the next time from Slovakia .........:):)

Cleaning of river Oder and the identification of invertebrates

During June, we purchased to help ship cleared basin of the river Oder from garbage, left over after the spring high water. It was a small trash such as PET bottles, nylon bags, various kinds of plastic bags, glass and plastic products. We have also started identifying some animals that we have already fixed with using the fixator in vials (range in October 2005 to June 2006). This phase will continue, because we want to use stereoscopic binocular microscopes to identify flora and fauna of various ecosystems and improve the teaching at our school. In the future, even considering the addition of at least 3 pieces of laboratory equipment.

Purchase ships and microscopes

During May, our school has purchased from the grant program within the Moravian Silesian Region 3 multisite inflatable canoe features self-bailing function and excellent driving characteristics in WW IV. Are particularly suitable for rough water, but also provides ample space for more days wandering rivers, are also suitable for transporting the material, which we pay off to clean river. This boat is popular among experienced paddlers for its longitudinal and transverse stiffness and beginners for its stability. For heavier sections of the river are ready fixovací thigh straps. The bottom is fitted with a pressure relief valve, PVC 1000g/m2, part of the container ship (nevodotěsný).

Parameters: 3 air chambers, operating pressure 0.30 bar, load 350 kg. These ships have also bought paddles of various sizes.

In addition to this large item, we also purchased 3 stereoscopic binocular microscopes made by Arsenal and the types of type 1 STS 752 and type 2 STM 707, which will improve the teaching of biology in the biological practices and hobby groups. The microscope will also be used to determine the biological samples from various excursions.

Visit PLA Poodří and Rescue Station and Environmental Education Center in bartošovice

13th June 2006 we took part in the excursion PLA Poodří and we went with the Head of Administration, Mr. Bartos, PLA trail Bartosovice ponds. Students had the opportunity to learn many interesting facts about the ecosystem and be able to go to interesting places that not normally get. Another part of this excursion was to visit the Rescue Centre and the Centre for Environmental Education in Bartosovice where students looked at a lot of popular educational information boards and the second part of the experiment was very understanding with a tour of the station. During the one hour program, we learned many useful and interesting information concerning the protection, ethology and morphology of birds, which are filed by non-violent local knowledgeable staff. Much we both events liked.

PS: the Little Kanka throughout the event were the mosquitoes, who showed us who's in this period in areas near water master:):) This event will be repeated at the end of June, when it will complete a student second.

Cleaning the PLA Poodří

After a previous minor cleaning, we have conducted throughout the school year 2005-2006 we started on 17th and 24th May 2006 disposed of the black dump near the river Oder that remained of homeless. Apart from smaller objects, which we sorted into plastics, glass, wood, etc. We also do cleaning in the adjacent park for our school. During the next week we'll pick up the a black dump, because we were able to OZO Ostrava find common ground, and they give us to derive a container for free. About this event we will inform you the next time.

Visit OZO Ostrava

31st May 2006 students visited Learning Center of Waste Education OZO Ostrava Ostrava - Kunčice (www.ozoostrava.cz). The center took us to Mrs. Karasova that about us closely all the time care. Tour itself consisted of two parts, which ran each other. In the first part, we are able to non-violent form of carefully prepared presentations to learn all about how to dispose of waste. This part was well fit the practical tasks. In the second part, we visited with necessary helmets an operation area.

This excursion was a monumental benefit for children and for our teachers. We would like to thank for an amazing Mrs. Karasova spent two hours that passed like water. After this tour we decided that we would regularly visit this resort to all children. We also recommend all schools to visit this resort.
