Mankind and Nature Look around And appreciate: Sun, water, sand Summer is great! Trees, bushes, forests, Wild animals running free Care about all of them Let them be! Live and love but don’t forget Nature! Generations to come Will always thank you!
Look around So many places to explore From the surface to the core Look around… The sea, the grass and more But these are not safe, I’m sure. I assure you It can all disappear, like a sandcastle Hit by the water that comes ashore Look around… This is your paradise! Don’t throw the dice with your eyes closed Don’t let something so beautiful Like ice which was once frozen, Melt like a snowflake that landed on your nose Look around… You are the chosen ones!
Sea shore If you like swimming in the sea We all must preserve it! Don’t throw your packages around When you are working on your sun tan! If you see someone leaving garbage behind Just call them and explain Why all people should be worried About preserving environment.
I Love the Blue Ocean The blue ocean Has a lot of life And fish swimming free Always cutting water like a knife! Boats are like little toys Some saying hello to every fish! Others passing and leaving oil behind Poor fish breathing with difficulty Other animals being trapped within plastic Please‌ let’s change! Mankind lives would be much better If the oceans feel healthy!
Pollution From far in the space Our planet seems to be beautiful blue! As you come nearer it becomes to look different: All kind of rubbish… Smoke everywhere… Plastic pollutes our rivers and oceans… Fish floating dead on the waters… Trees are cut for every reason… Animals dying in the fires in forests… Only people interests And increasing economy matter!
We should all help each other And keep our planet colourful.
Outside I love to play outside Alone or with my friends, In my garden Or in my school playground! I hate when there’s smoke in the air And I can’t play outside! I hate when it smells Because people in factories do things wrong. If older ones loved the outside as much as I do And cared about Nature Environmental problems won’t exist!
3R’s Reduce? Reuse? Recycle? Why are they are not enough? Why don’t people do what is right If everyone knows how to do it?
Plastic is used more and more Because it’s cheap raw material. We should also Refuse it If we won’t to reduce it! Use paper only if you really need Because forest would thank you.
Water – spring of Life! Springs Waterfalls Ponds Lakes Rivers Oceans Planet Earth is so perfect! We had all given to us! Won’t all living beings die without it! Why is it so difficult to be aware of that? And keep polluting?
Change You don’t agree With everything you see?
Fish dying in the sea? Air, soil and water pollution? Forest being cut down or burned? Ice melting where it used to be frozen for centuries?
You are not to blame?
Change is urgent in all of us One day someone would say:
“They were rich and they didn’t know!”

Green forest How pretty this green forest is The tire doesn't belong in it.
The earth likes to be clean, Unfortunately, rubbish can still hide in it.
Behold, a wonderful waterfall Each drop in it is important Animals despise the pollution Bears bite the brown water Fish sweet and blue Often complain about the rubbish. Keep the blue water, The fish plead. Keep the green forest Sing the birds!
Luka Zlatarek i Vito BlaŞić 4.a

Therefore you too keep the nature Because know it is very valuable to us. Zara Nedeljko 4.a
Dirty water Water is terribly sad, Because it is dim and ugly. Everyone throws rubbish in it, So it doesn't even move. A big dam has formed, Made of plastic, paper and branches . Animals have gathered, big and small, Started working straight away. They cleared the rubbish, There comes great joy. Water is happy and clean, And sparkles with joy.
Eva Fodor i Keti TropĹĄa 4.b
Poem to the sun The sun keeps us warm, It's smiling with the clouds. Sad clouds, Are ugly to the sun. The sun is disgusted by rubbish, Flowers want to be planted. They say: keep the air, During day and when it's dark! The sun isn't evil, It hasn't done anything wrong. It keeps the air, When it's dark, It plants the flowers So it's never bored. But know this, Life on the sun is heaven!
Kaja i Kala 4.a
The lake The lake I am Clean and clear Only in the county I am clean People threw rubbish Into the environment Because they don't know That rubbish belongs In waste containers. Let us keep the environment Pretty Because The whole world Needs it
Nela Levačić i Hana Vejnović 4.a
The song of nature We all keep nature Big and small.
Wherever we stand, Wherever we are, We all think about it.
Drinkable water, healthy, clear It shines everywhere. Animals sweet in nature live There they feed and dwell in nature.
Every planted flower Takes us to a prettier World.
Katja Kolac 4. a
Ecology You can see and live ecology When people clear Rubbish big and large and When they clear the streams To sparkle with joy. Some throw worthless rubbish And hang bags on the trees. When nature needs People most, They don't help, When they should help Clear the containers themselves. At the end 'who would want Unclean nature? No one. But why does everyone throw rubbish? Some throw this rubbish on the ground While others throw it into water. Until when will they do so I wonder every morning?
Mihael ŽeleŞnjak, 4.b
Nature Seven days and seven nights, Ant from the green grass jumps. Birds sing joyful songs. Brown bear, looks darkly The world around it. Rasping crows rasp At the constant passers-by. The wind blows from all sides. And that is our nature, green, Spread in all the world.

Nature Voice When nature calls It’s time to listen The bird’s chirping on trees The rustling if the leaves The breaking of the waves The howling of the wind It’s nature’s own voice Humans carelessly destroy The plants, the animals Become extinct So mercilessly destroy What life gives. Irene Pavlou
Our environment Flowers are colourful Trees are big and green We must not burn them Because they help our health. Recycle is helping environment But we should recycle things Like glass, paper and plastic Zoe Eliadou

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Please reduce, recycle and reuse, You can help the earth if you choose, Recycle plastic, glass and cans, Reduce the rubbish on our lands.
If you decide to help us, Start recycling and reusing, If you want our planet green and blue Than stop dropping rubbish too. Matas S.
The Benefit of Sorting Do we need to sort the rubbish? It’s the question mostly asked. And the answer isn’t foolish, If you do this, you are smart. Do you want to save our planet? There are containers clearly marked, If you can to read the letters, Put the litter in correct! Gabija S.
Mother Nature
We say that Nature is our Mother Then why we treat Her in wrong way? We say we love Her and we need her, But our actions say the other way. She gives us food, She gives us home, We feel so safe and sound. So please speak up – there still is hope Before our time runs out.
Gabija K.
Nature Human nature, mother nature, enough of your torture. Safely nature, easy nature, play your game, foolish nature, custom nature. I know your plan can you nature, would you nature, try to run away. Stupid nature, poor nature, find my secret. Miserable nature, faulty nature, get out of my way. It is in my nature, it is my nature, don’t give me away.

No Polluting is bad, but maybe it`s not? Who knows how is it? Well, it`s bad for all. But thinking again, maybe it‘s not! And how about guards? We need them all for poluting, so it will getting small! And there is word NO! But who knows where it goes? Don`t be silly! But if we know where it goes, then why don‘t we let trees having the bees... Renata.
Warning The skies are blue But they keep getting darker Whenever we pollute our nature With things we don‘t use.
But one can‘t blame pollution alone So let us plant more seeds And protect what‘s given for free Because we won‘t get more chances.

My lovely environment I keep my environment clean, Not waste the trees. I recycle used papers, Environment is my friend. Nature is getting dirty, We should be aware of that. Environment is powerful, it can bear; Yet, I don’t let it get damaged.
Lots of litter around, Don't believe it melts on the ground. Environment gets dirty, So, the Earth becomes a place we can't live. As long as we save the Nature, Our world gets more beautiful. With the help of children like me, It grows richer.
Green life I want a life green, I want a life full of green, With blue sky and green sea, Also a place for animals and plants I want a world green, No smoke in the air, no factory chimney on land No tree cutting, no animal killing, I want a green world without pain.

Art and Energy Together Without art we cannot grasp, And in addition we can’t clasp; Energy problems in nature And the health needs of each creature. The mirror of society, Obstacle of anxiety Art’s for environment a friend So, keep the message my lines send! GIULIA NICOLE IUSCO
Be a Poet Despite Climate Change! We talk about climate change, For measures we look for a range; We will avoid what’s causative In order to keep positive. Let’s learn how to value passion, For despair no compassion; Let’s use all ingenuity In the face of calamity. I write few poems to resist Despite bad changes which exist; So, try yourselves to entertain When there is thunder or strong rain. EUGEN PAUL STOICA
Dreaming at Stars I've chosen a star to hold
Just with my thought, a little bit
My love for it is untold,
I think I could reach right to it.
And just a name for this to fit;
I learned that Venus planet is
Even I pray often to it.
The closest of all in each quiz
So, I admire a lot, by far
Close to my home, place of birth,
My chosen pretty little star;
Which there is just on planet Earth;
I gave it Lucifer as name,
So, if it's close to my wish, hope,
I'd put this nice star in a frame.
Why do I need a telescope?
And although a planet it is For me it's star, I say with fizz; It's cozy when it starts to shine, Therefore this star is only mine!
To see better where it's sited? Only I'm not a shortsighted! Do not knead me, anyone knows That morning and evening it glows. I sequel it, as in a sync
But just I wonder how could I,
And I almost always think,
To get to Venus which is high,
For me it's great burden and so,
And therefore what is my star?
Sometimes even I do not know.
In my sight, it is up, so far... .
RICCARDO DIACONU
Energy in Frail Lines I dedicate to each soul, Trying to learn own role In bringing to community The renewable energy A short poem in frail lines, Written by inspiration bines; As suppliers’ profits increase And people’s incomes decrease. Let's give new approach cleverly To community energy It's our chance to take control And our dream will be not droll. CRISTI MARIAN SALA
For a Nice Future, for a Good Life Renewable energy means
Energy gives us food each day;
Future on which a young man leans;
For cars we don't see a kind ray,
If into past and sloth we dive
On gasoline we count still;
We’ll lose our chance to survive.
For future we need a smart skill.
So, don't play all day long the fife
But gasoline and coal are
We have to change, for a good life
Sources troubling air by far;
The world in which we live and learn -
Because they give us pollution;
It's our generation's turn.
They can’t be our solution.
As nothing is everlasting
Thus, carbon is sent afloat
And nobody supplies will bring,
And Earth doesn’t like this coat;
Let's use renewable sources
Soon we will say for these reasons:
With all our minds and forces.
„Where are you dear four seasons?”
DENISA DRĂGAN
Let's Bake a Forest! To sprinkle seeds is what you make In a tin for forest health's sake; Add bushes and don't clean up leaves, Thus nature will be very pleased. Drop a little water, don’t try To let the forest to be dry; Adding sunlight it will be great, For animals and birds good fate. Your single deed is just a gift, However reward will be swift; Many cut forest, send a shake! You give it a chance through this plate. IULIA TODOR
Riddles about Legumes Well, dicotyledonous is
Green beads eating, you get tired
My family and I state these:
As you can fall even scrambled.
I am the most beautiful girl,
They can give you force in your feet
I am Liana, slender, tall;
As something nutrious you eat.
So, I do pods, shiny berries
You can find them in legumes, so,
Cooked, very tasty my shuck is.
How to cook them, I think you know!
Please taste, or at least a bit try,
What I told you, you will see why,
And now, my friend, guess what am I?
Review your lore, guess what am I?
My pod is wide and very long,
As farthing are in the aspect,
As dicotyledonous, strong.
They have a taste of great effect;
I contain many vitamins,
They're very good for food, no strife,
Just minerals and proteins.
In all our everyday life.
Indeed, hairy my leaves are
This riddle is so easy, try,
But the flower is nice by far.
Check in your brain, guess what am I?
As kidneys, berries in a crop Stay near the pod like a drop. The answer is not far or high, It's in your mind, guess what am I?
LUISA DOLOMEČš
The Story of the Apple-Tree The apple tree reveals in spring
In autumn, when hoar-frost fall
Putting its burgeons on the twig;
And just its leaf begins to pall
Caressed by the kind Sun gently,
I gather then by hand from it
At the window it bloomed nicely.
Its fruit, so juicy and too sweet.
Little tree, with all your vigor,
Now, dear fruitful apple tree,
Grow up, increasingly bigger!
For that my gratitude you see.
The whole summer, this small tree A green leaf had as we can see With light and heat, you have to know Its healthy fruit went on to grow. Dear tree, allow my memo, I really miss your shadow!
In winter the tree seems to need A white soft, snowy clothes indeed. And to pass its annoyance, bing! A lovely sparrow starts to sing: Little tree, in every zone There’s a friend, you aren’t alone.
ANDREI SEBASTIAN COROȘ
To Whom Does Energy Belong? I don’t like answers which are wrong;
Make rivers clean, fulfil your wish
To whom does energy belong?
For everyone who wants to fish;
Who will try to buy and share
Don’t be afraid, it’s at your hand
Energy that’s everywhere?
To find out health on each land.
To you, to me, to anyone,
To get fuel your work affords
To those who through this life run;
With the agreement of all cords
Physicians even by a test
Under the light of solar rays
Invite rich people to invest.
Which make terrific our days.
Admire Archimedes’ screw,
So, join us in this effort
Be open-minded to all’s new,
And undoubtedly in this sort
And listen to the river’s flow,
Imagination can capture
Learn to enjoy the sun’s warm glow.
The steps of our bright future.
