INTRODUCTION

This booklet is the final product of the common work of the schools involved in the Comenius project Towards a Greener Future (Ecole Saint Christophe Maternelle et Primaire, Lorient , France; 12/th Dimotiko Sxoleio Amigdaleona Kavalas, Kavala, Greece; Circolo Didattico Viale Cesare Battisti, Recanati, Italy; Szkoła Podstawowa z Oddziałami Integracyjnymi nr 21 im.

Henryka Sienkiewicza, Gliwice, Poland; Scoala Cu Cls. I-VIII " Vasile Lucaciu”, Carei, Romania; Col-Legi Episcopal "Mare De Deu De L'academia", Lleida, Spain and Osnovna šola Franca Rozmana Staneta, Ljubljana, Slovenia).

Following the activities ‘The greening of school grounds’ and ‘School pot plant tending’, the students reflected on what the school flowers would tell us if they could talk and expressed themselves through art – by drawing pictures, writing short stories, dialogues, descriptions, poems or comics on this topic – both in English and in their mother tongue. Thus we’ve got an exciting multilingual collection of artistic creations, inspired by the students’ love of nature. Enjoy it!

Κόκκινα τριαντάφυλλα.

Τα κόκκινα τριαντάφυλλα ζχουν μεγαλα και απαλά φυλλα επίςθσ ζχουν και αγκάκια.Είναι πολφ ωραία όταν φυτρωνουν ςε χωράφια,κα ιταν όμωσ πιο ωραία αν δεν θταν όλα τουσ μαραμζνα. Είναι μαραμζνα επειδι χρειάηονται φροντίδα και κανζνασ δεν τουσ τθν δίνει.Έτςι μαρζνονται και χάνουν τθν ομορφιά τουσ.Μακάρι να νοιαηοταν κάποιοσ για τθν φφςθ,κα ιταν όλα πολφ καλφτερα.

Ho fatto un mazzolino Ho fatto un mazzolino, coi fiori del giardino, l’ho fatto stamattina insieme al mio papà.

Sono i fiori per la tua festa, cara mamma, eccoli qua.

Una rosa perché ti voglio bene; una viola perché sarò ubbidiente; un papavero, non so perché, e…un non ti scordar di me.

Qualche ciclamino, perché dimentichi che sono birichino…

Un girasole, una margherita, perché tu sei il fiore della vita.

DIALOG

Pe un fir de margaretă Buburuza cea cochetă Se suceşte, se înclină Ca o mică balerină.

- Ia te uite ce-ndrăzneală, M-ai călcat pe o petală!

Ce-ar fi vântul să te-apuce Şi în trestii să te-arunce?

- Nu fi tristă, margaretă, C-am făcut o piruietă.

Azi m-am înnoit, vezi bine: Fustă roşie cu buline!

DIALOGUE

On the blade of a daisy The little ladybug Bends and twirls herself Just like a little ballerina

-Look at how daringly you have stepped on my petal!

What would happen if the wind took you away and threw you in the willows?

-Don’t be sad, dear daisy That I made a pirouette.

Today I renewed myself; you see A red shirt with polka dots is on me!

Narcissus (Daffodil)

All Narcissus species have a central bell-, bowl-, or disc-shaped corona surrounded by a ring of six floral leaves called the perianth which is united into a tube at the forward edge of the 3-locular ovary. The seeds are black, round and swollen with a hard coat. The three outer segments are sepals, and the three inner segments are petals. Though the traditional daffodil of folklore, poetry, and field may have a yellow to golden-yellow color all over, both in the wild species and due to breeding, the perianth and corona may be variously colored. Breeders have developed some daffodils with double, triple, or ambiguously multiple rows and layers of segments, and several wild species also have known double variants.

The Rose Spring is coming now and the flower’s growing up when cold winter is sleeping all these colors change my mind.

I prefer the rose of course because my country loves it too.

Catalonia and Saint George, dragons, princess, books and love.

Les flors de la meva escola Les flors del meu col·legi no paren de xiuxiuejar, perquè l’escola en la que viuen és la millor que hi ha.

Estic segur que pensen que la grossa els hi ha tocat, per viure en aquesta escola plena d’amor i amistat.
