| Report on the Results: | During the period of October 4th and 10th, the International World Space Week is the perfect occasion for schools all over the world to celebrate by means of projects and activities which make children feel they can sometimes go above and beyond the narrow space of our planet and they can dream freely about the limitless Universe. The Secondary School Nr. 30, Gheorghe Titeica in Constanta has joined the team of this project ever since the beginning and this year the subject of the Red Planet has made our students more creative than ever. All the students in primary school, about 700 in number and 150 students in secondary school started the activities, coordinated by their teachers and the school librarian and head coordinator of this project, Anca Mosoiu. The preparatory class students coloured and painted scenes imagining the daily life on Mars, in a way that only curious and creative minds can imagine, the second graders made space shuttles and martian masks, while the fourth graders wrote their thoughts about one day on Mars. According to one of them" A day on Mars would be perfect. If you really want to, you can make a comfortable place out of this flaming planet. With a little green help, you could even make up a house and a garden. If you play outside, you can build fire castles, decorated with ashes and if you have some fire balls, you can start playing volleyball with some flame-eaters. You can touch the stars and sparkles bare-handed and fall for their charm. And finally, if the day seems to be too short to do everything you want, that is also fine...because when you go to bed you don’t need a blanket to tuck under...the Sun will take care of that too!"-Gheorghe Dorian. Most students wrote messages to the martians, which they intended to send to Space tied to hot air ballons, which were launched on October 10th, 2013. Secondary school students investigated and documented essays on the life on Mars, the future of The Earth, space exploration and especially the exploration of our planet. The ones with vivid imagination created movie scripts about alien invasions, ways to communicate and cooperate with extraterrestrials and more importantly, underlined the need to protect the Earth. On Thursday, October, 10th, the schoolyard hosted an exhibition with all the products made during the project this year and balloons were launched to carry our human thoughts and emotions to other universes, in a symbolic way. |
