Eco-Carnival work in progress.

LET’ S CELEBRATE THE ECO -CARNIVAL

This year we are going to celebrate Carnival with projects and activities based on our school curriculum where each subject, with its peculiar contents and objectives, is part of a puzzle enclosed in the frame of Ecology. In order to encourage students and their families to reuse materials, our school is currently open to welcome children's mums and create laboratories where different kinds of recyclable materials are used to make masks: colourful bin liners, Plastic glasses, old Plastic buttons, fabrics, cardboard boxes ETC… Therefore children will take part in a big ECO-Carnival Parade by the end of February with lots of masks related to many topics such as ANCIENT EGYPTIANS, FAIRYTALE CHARACTERS, THE UNDERWATER WORLD…

All school segments and subjects are involved through cross-curricular lessons based on language learning, Science, Social Sciences, History, Geography, Art, Music and ICT

During an English lesson, children aged 11 have learnt and represented with drawnings a ‘Water’ poem written by a child C. Woodhouse age 10.

ERASMUS PROJECT ECO-US SUPPORT: "A TREE FOR A FRIEND"

In the ambit of the activities on the topic of biodiversity the I.C.S. Federico II di Svevia participates in the project “A tree for a friend” to create a widespread forest with the Ministry of Ecological Transition and the Carabinieri of Biodiversity.

THERE IS A GLOBAL CHALLENGE UNDERWAY... a green revolution that involves all citizens: change our way of life and take care of the environment in which we live.

The Forest Carabinieri do their part by protecting the inestimable heritage of State Nature Reserves and State Forests. A green ridge that ideally crosses the entire Italian territory and that represents an example of unitary management of a European capital of biodiversity unique for its variety of habitats.

We can begin a new challenge together with the Carabinieri of Biodiversity to know our green treasures and leave our mark in the world by increasing the Italian level of biodiversity and "green".

How do we do that? We plant one tree and then another and create a forest spread throughout Italy, made of small trees of native species that will grow with us accompanying us in a path that increases environmental quality.

Our commitment will be rewarded by a saving of CARBON DIOXIDE in the air: 50 thousand trees will hold already in the first 10 years of life some million Kg of CO2. Trees, in fact, are able to effectively combat air pollution at a much lower cost than other natural remedies. The web platform will show us the distribution of our trees and the consequent reduction of carbon dioxide.

Together with The Carbinieri of Biodiversity, today we have planted our first trees and we have started a VIRTUOUS circle for the future of the planet and for our health.
