               Home Made Yogurt

 

 1-2   lt  milk
 1-2   tbsp plain yoğurt

    Please keep in mind that the most important points in making yogurt are adding sample yogurt to the milk at the right temperature and keeping it warm for a while. The exact temperature for fermentation is between 42-45 C.
     Place the milk in a pot and heat it until the boiling point. If you like creamy yogurt, simmer the milk a few more minutes to let the water evaporate more. Take the milk from the stove and wait about 10-12 minutes. Occasionally, dip your finger into the milk and try to count till 7. If you can bear the heat till 7, it means the milk is ready for fermentation. Don’t let the milk cool more than that since if the milk is not hot enough, fermentation won’t take place.
      In a small bowl, mix 1 tbsp of yogurt with lukewarm milk by using a wooden spoon (don’t use metal spoons). Add this mixture to the milk and stir with the wooden spoon. Then, pour the milk to the containers and close their lids.  The best container for making yogurt is glass. To keep the milk warm, cover the container completely with a cloth and then cover again with a blanket or something similar. Make sure to cover tightly to keep the milk warm for a while.  Generally, it takes 5-6 and 7-8 hours for fermentation in summer and winter, respectively. After fermentation, take yogurt out of its cover without shaking. Store in the fridge for at least 3-4 hourr before serving.

    And enjoy your meal.  :)

A trip to Slovakia. Impressions

Impressions on our visit to Vráble, Slovakia


Last April the partners of the project got together again, this time in Slovakia.
Lots of activities were carried out, here is a selection of some of them.

We were shown around the school in Vráble, the town hall and also around the town.

Our students were nicely surprised at meeting the Slovak students dressed in their traditional costumes. That was a great surprise!

Folklore and traditions are well preserved in their school, there's a kind of museum into the school were visitors can enjoy costumes and some pieces of furniture in a traditional Slovak house.

Here is a pic of the whole group at the school's entrance.














Planting a tree at the school's yard.

One of the activities we did, the same as in Patras, was to plant a tree. It is a nice way to leave our own footprint in the project! It was bought at the natural reserve we had visited that morning.

Innovative teaching methods

Slovak students gave us some lessons on biology and physics. In the biology lesson we learnt some Slovak vocabulary to refer to local fauna . It was really difficult for us to learn some of the names, but we could learn some of them succesfully!

A visit to a natural reserve

We enjoyed a day out in a beautiful natural reserve where we could admire a variety of species from different continents.

Chalk painting on the school ground

Each country designed their own painting at how to Save the life on our planet. The activity was great fun and we could see how creative and original our studetns are.

International programme

On our last day in Vráble each country made a performance on their traditional folklore. The event took place at Vráble city hall. It was a rich exchange of different traditions and each one of them tried to give their best, the result was wonderful!!!

Besides, with the valuable implication of the Slovak music teacher, they all created the anthem of the project. Each country contributed with a paragraph in their own language. It was really moving to sing it all together.

Students' impressions on the visit

'Once we got to Vráble we met our host families. The boy ,who was called Jakub, lived  in a town nearby called Nevidzany. He lived there with his parents, a sister called Esther and his dog Mia.

He also hosted a Turkish boy named Rammazan. Philip, another Slovak boy, also lived in Nevidzany and he was hosting two of my friends, Jan and Joan, so each evening we got together to hang around the town....'

'...We spent long time on a coach to visit different places in Slovakia, thanks to this we met lots of new people and made good friends. It was a fantastic trip! Manel Gurrera.

'...Me and Joan were pretty scared as we had no idea how our hosting family would be like, nor the house or even what we would have for dinner....But all our fears disappeared when we got to the house, it was a big one and the family was so kind and nice...' Jan Barrachina

Small drops

This is a sample of the different activities we've done in our school as a complementation of the project.

A workshop on artcrafts with recycled materials

Students of the project together with some other classmates from the school made great objects using recycled materials. here is a sample of some of them!

They were also given a lesson on how to make soap bars from recycled oil and other ingredients.

Planting trees in the school yard

We are a 'Green school' and the town hall in Amposta gave us 7 trees to be planted on the Tree's day. A group of students who are members of the Green Team planted them and are responsible of watering and taking care of them from now on.

Beach cleaning

As we live in an area which has recently been declared Natural Reserve of the Biosphere, institutions and the Natural Park of the Ebre Delta are constantly organizing cleaning campaigns to raise awareness among the population on taking care about the natural environment. In our school we wanted to collaborate too and joined the beaches cleaning campaign.

Visit to Patras, Greece February'16


On our visit to Greece we stayed in the city of Patras with local families and worked at  14TH  HIGH  SCHOOL  OF  PATRAS.

 We worked on the topic of Global problems. Students did some research on different subtopics, such as global warming, pollution, greenhouse effect , etc and did presentations in Patras, sharing their results with the other partners.

Innovative lessons on physics

We were given a lesson on buoyancy of liquids and objects. Students could experience this property thanks to group work and clear guidance from one of the Greek teachers.

A collage on global problems

Once we presented all the info we gathered on global problems, students from the different countries in the project created a collective collage to show the work done on this topic before and during the visit to Greece. It remains in Patras High school to be seen by all the students there.

As a way of contributing to preserve our environment all the participants in the visit planted some bulbs in the school backyard which we expect will bloom in spring.

Visits in Greece

But not everything was work! We also enjoyed beautiful places, full of nature, full of culture, full of ancient history...

Mount Olympia, the cradle of the Olympic Games.

Strophylia ,a natural reserve in the Peloponesse.

One of the ways of linking the Peloponesse with the peninsula is the Rio bridge. We enjoyed great views, despite being a windy day...

We could not leave Greece without visiting the jewel of Athens, the Acropolis.We were thrilled to enjoy, almost on our own, the Parthenon. the Cariatides and the rest of the complex with our headmistress, who's a Latin and Greek teacher and loves ancient culture. We went to visit  it on the day we were flying back to Spain so decided to get up early, which was the key. A privilege to enjoy such an amazing place with the first lights of the day and the change of the Greek guard. All in all an unforgettable experience!

Students' impressions on the visit to Patras.

'...we were showed the high school in Patras which seemed so different to our school to me. Later we visited the city hall where the mayor gave us a talk, he spoke so fast and in Greek!!!...' 

'The Greek teachers prepared a surprise party for us on the last day of our visit. A  carnival float came into the playground playing loud and lively music and then everybody started to dance and have fun. Some people from a balcony were throwing sweets, too. We enjoyed it a lot and laughed a lot too. The Greek students showed us some typical dances. In the afternoon, the Greek parents cooked some typical meal for all of us and prepared a farewell party. Everything was delicious!...'Carla Lafont.

'...in the house I stayed there were 10 of us, Basiliki's mum, her three cousins, her two brothers, her two aunties and her granny. Later we played Uno ( a cards game) and I surprised them as they didn't know I knew the game and I beat them, hahaha. They cooked a typical Greek meal for dinner, Gyros, which is a type of bread filled with French fries, meat, onion, tomato and lettuce. I really liked it!...' Helena Segarra.
