Little explorers And Forest

Common story

Bucharest, Romania Elementary School “Nicolae Titulescu�

3rd grade students

Who is not curious? Who would not want to know more about the world around us? Even if we are small, we are very curious and we form a team of small explorers.

This year, we wanted to find out more about the mysteries of forests. We are convinced that in the "Living House" we will find a world that sometimes may seem unreal. You will not be surprised if, from time to time, we talk to the bear Marty or the playful squirrel or why not with an old oak. It will be just our imagination and the story of the forest will be more beautiful.

Another thing: We are not the only explorers. We still have colleagues from other countries who will help us to unravel the secrets of the forest. Together, we will write this story, a real one woven with fairy elements, because we are just kids and we love fairy tales. Are you ready to start this adventure in the forest? ...

When the weather is beautiful I and my small brother with parents like riding a bike in the forest. We have got bags, sandwiches, something to drink and candies. When we are next to the forest my brother always has got a branch from three. My brother, Szymon likes branches. He is two years old. He keeps it in his small hands. I like riding in the forest because there are fresh air. There aren’t cars and people.

We can relax, spend time together . In the forest is small lake. On the lake swim ducks. I and Szymon feed ducks. We like it very much.

On such a walk in the Forest we met a little girl. She played hide and seek with a friend and was looking for him for an hour. She asked us to help her find him. When we asked her how she was her friend and told us she had gray fur, big eyes, big ears and teeth, we thought we were kidding and we went out. But before we get out of the way, we saw through the trees a Wolf going behind the little girl and making it BOU!" It is not fair"exclaimed this!I do not have you a friend. Surprisingly, we saw the little girl wearing a red cap in his head and leaving while the sad wolf shouted, "I'll tell your grandmother!" We wounded the wolf curiously, and then we saw ....

The wolf, a little out of breath from running, arrived at Grandma's and knocked lightly at the door.

The wolf complained about her grand daughter and told about what they had in the forest. The grandma got angry and asked the wolf to be kind and generous. She said she is going to talk to granddaughter about it. After the wolf went the daughter just came and knock the door with a guilty face. When her grandmother opens the door with a great anger she‌..

She was stupefied, because she saw us standing behind a girl. Instead of being angry, grandmother smiled and invited us to her hut. And this was not just a hut, it was the gate to the magical forest, where everything is possible.

We saw there various animals: bunnies sitting by the fireplace sipping tea and discussing about winter weather, wild boar and deer laughing at the ants, who are just arguing about a place at the table. We saw many more strange situations with differents animals.

We felt like in the fairy tale “Alice in Wonderland”, but instead of Alice there was a girl in a red hat who suddenly spoke “My dear friends I want to introduce you….

my granny-magician. It is because of her this forest is a real faery, and you can make any of your wish or dream come true.”

We were very curious and wanted to see magic in action. We asked the granny whether she can turn summer into winter. Granny laughed and said, “There is nothing impossible in this forest.” She raised her arms and cried, “Winter with silver and glitter! Come to our forest!”

In a minute, we found ourselves in the white fairytale.

All the trees were covered with snow, grey squirrels and white hares were playing among the fir-trees. And suddenly we saw three giant mushrooms...

When we approached them we found a bunch of keys and beside them a note saying¨: "Ιn a magical forest only mushrooms with magical properties you could find! Find the keys that match the 3 golden locks that open the small doors at the top of mushrooms and go into a world where everything is... upside down!!!

After several attempts they found the right keys. When the last door was opened ...

… he found a forest different from what he had seen before. It was a forest with trees of different colors.

Bright and striking colors. So many colors that you could never imagine.

But the Grandmother warned her. - “Each color has a different meaning and if you hug one of those trees, each tree will teach you something new, even will transport you to distant places”.

The girl was so eager to meet new things that she wanted to hug all the trees. But he decided to embrace the blue one. What was his surprise when...

1rst Kindergarten of Kalloni,Lesvos,Greece

Immediately, the blue tree became a ship which transported them to an island in the middle of a large and light blue sea. The island was full of trees that had sweets on their branches: Chocolates, lollipops, biscuits, cookies. There was a sign that said: �Welcome to the sweet forest�. A little bit further, ,they saw a sweet-house.They wanted to eat sweets, but they decided to ask first someone in the house.

When they approached the door opened its own because it was magical. They came in and they saw something that made them very happy...

1st Kindergarten of Prosotsani Greece

In the sweet house was a mermaid beautiful and sweet like candy. The mermaid had a stick of chocolate. All the furniture was made of chocolates, lollipops, biscuits, candies. The children spoke with the mermaid and learned stories about the island and the trees with sweets. At the table there were lots of food and sweets. The children ate what they wanted.

Inside a sweet they found a magical map. They took him with them and went to get the second key.

Children full of joy read the map. They saw the path and decided to follow it. They were certain that there they could use the second key that the mermaid gave them. Walking for an hour in the path they saw a house very small. Seven little creatures working and a beautiful girl was singing.

They went close and learn secrets of how they could keep forests safe. Snow White gave them a list of what they should do if someone wanted to harm the forest. Children agreed to protect the forest and all the animals and plants that lived there. At that moment they had no idea that the forest was in danger and that the advices from the seven dwarfs and the Snow White would be so useful. Children thanked their new friends and continue their walk in the forest.

Then they decided to look for the mythical rabbit in the forest to realize their wishes.They found the rabbit they looked for. They offered the sweeties, chocolate to the mythical rabbit. One of them wanted to plant all kinds of flowers all over the world in front of his house. He thought that he and his friends would get much happier when they felt the excellent scent of the flowers during their plays and saw the benefits of the flora for the livings on it like bees,butterflies ants...etc. Because he always cared about the animals life and plants. He was a eco-friendly and thoughtful boy. One day while they were investigating the local ecosystem, they saw...
