Swimming for educational purposes

We are learning about water as one of 4 basic elements. We know, that existence of water has crucial impact on us. We know from where  the water is, how it looks, how it smells and tastes. We also know about all water's colors and how is water changing in their natural circulation. 

Final part of this lessons took place in Zlin's public pool where the children learnt how to swim. We spent one day of each week in November in public swimming pool with our 5-years-old children. We got personal lector for our group which is teaching children to swim. Children also can examine what their body can do in water and what isn't possible outside the pool.

Car Free Day

We have got involed in traditional European Car Free Day - better term will be Car Free Week. We wanted to guide children's parents to limit their car rides. We also discussed environment issues and we had suggested parents to made bike trip with their children.
There was one-day action named "Šlapáček" when we went with children and parents into forrest. This foot trip was enriched with completing goals and tasks like bike riding, cart riding and horse riding. We hope that this tasks and goals involved parents and kids thinking about possibility to move without cars and modern transport vehicles.
