Nature Hunt
The scavenger hunt organized by three 10th graders for PYP students. Grade 3 students will participate in this hunt to become more aware of their surroundings and explore nature in an engaging and exciting way.

Carbon Footprint Survey
A carbon footprint measures how much carbon dioxide we produce from our day-to-day activities. Carbon dioxide is a major greenhouse gas that is accumulating in our atmosphere and causing Climate Change. Therefore, a carbon footprint indicates to what degree our actions contribute to climate change.
​
We can calculate the percentage of carbon dioxide we are producing compared to the target set for carbon dioxide emission reduction to avoid the worst effects of climate change--a 1.5°C increase in global temperature.
A 100% carbon footprint does not increase or decrease the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Less than 100% helps to reduce it--more than 100% adds to the global increase in emissions.

Guest Speaker- Enrico Rivetto
Enrico Rivetto is a farmer from the Langhe. He is the owner of a "home school" elementary school which aims to teach sustainability, the functioning of ecosystems around us and about eco-minded agriculture in the Lange, while still incorporating curriculum topics/subjects. He also manages and owns a biodynamic garden that he tries to incorporate into learning and making his agricultural production (of wine, fruit, vegetables, and cereals) more sustainable.
