As a part of the sixth unit of inquiry into “How we share the planet” focused on the following central idea is “Humans have a responsibility to natural resources”,  5th graders had the opportunity to visit the Piuray Lagoon. Here they connect with the natural environment of different species of animals, insects, and plants, as well as shared their research into the mythical origins of the lagoon and conducted interviews that resulting in key information about one of the most important sources of potable water of our city. Some of them even cleaned the shore demonstrating environmental conscience and care. Without doubt, a really rich and fun learning experience.

The fifth graders represented government through a sculptural project focused on form and perspective using a variety of recycled paper as well as colors that enliven one’s life, glue and ribbons that support the connection of a structure. The result was a rich visual expression that raised awareness of the purpose that this has in the sociocultural environment. The skills and creativity are exposed for the viewer to observe according to the form at perception. “Life is made up of structures that transform the integrity of every being on a daily basis.”
