The following are the 5 major biogeochemical processes that exist on our planet and without which humankind and other living organisms would not be able to exist. S3 students as part of the entry point into their newest unit (Our Living Earth) worked in groups to prepare the following posters representing these biogeochemical cycles.

P5 students explored the cycles and patterns of the planets within our solar system and learned about the orbits of the planets around the Sun.

Here are their findings:

1. One of the most well-known space cycles is the orbit of planets around the Sun. Each planet follows a specific path as it travels around the Sun. This journey repeats itself in a continuous cycle.

2. The rotation of planets on their axes is another important space cycle. It causes day and night cycles on planets like Earth. As a planet spins on its axis, different parts of it are exposed to sunlight, creating alternating periods of light and darkness.

3. The lunar cycle, or phases of the Moon, result from the changing positions of the Moon relative to the Sun and Earth. These phases include the new moon, crescent moon, quarter moon, gibbous moon, and full moon, and they repeat approximately every 29.5 days.

P4S students were learning about the food chain. They found out that food chain is crucial for understanding ecosystems and the interrelationships in nature. Students have created models of food chains in various ways, enabling them to better grasp how energy flows through an ecosystem and how organisms are interdependent. Through these activities, students have not only developed their knowledge of  ecology but also their creative skills.

P3S students were learning about recycling and its importance in preserving the environment. Exploring recycling processes taught us how to reduce waste and conserve resources. To put our knowledge into practice, we engaged in a creative activity where we made musical instruments using recycled materials. This hands-on approach not only reinforced our understanding of recycling but also encouraged our creativity in finding new purposes for used items.

Our year 2 pupils studied the life cycle of the dandelion - we have plenty growing in our school.  The dandelion is called "Dant y Llew" in Welsh, which literally translated means the tooth of the lion!  What is it's name in your language?  In Wales we blow the seeds and fruits to tell the time!  It does not make sense at all - do you do this?  We made dandelion art and even a lovely drink called "Dandelion and Burdock" - very tasty indeed!

The mushroom lifecycle is fascinating.  We watched a Netflix documentry on Fantastic Fungi - the cinematography was amazing.  We could see the spores develop hyphae, then mycelium.  We grew our own mushrooms in class and noticed the tiny pinhead mushrooms forming before growing into large mushrooms to eat!

We have PLENTY of rain here in Wales because of our proximity to he Atlantic Ocean.  Water is all around us here and it is a very valuable natural resource.  Many large dams located in Wales supply many cities in England such as Liverpool and Birmingham but they do not pay Wales for it!  Our year 4 pupils learnt about the water cycle and what has stuck most in their minds is the rap they learnt on YouTube which goes "Evaporation, condensation, precipitation, run off - run off"

Our Nursery and Reception children learnt about the life cycle of the honey bee and how important  they are to sustain all life on earth.  They particularly enjoyed dressing up as bees on World Bee day.  We know how important the bee is to Slovemia too!

The Earth and its movement: Earth orbits the sun once a year in a counterclockwise movement, called REVOLUTION ORBIT, it takes 356 days and 6 hours to complete the orbit around the sun, and at the same time, Earth, spins around its axis, also in a counterclockwise movement, called ROTATION. The rotation movement takes 24  hours to complete its spin, 1 day.Celestial bodies (or heavenly bodies) include: Planets, stars, satellites, comets, asteroids, meteors and meteorites, galaxies

The Sun is a stars, it gives out heat and light and makes life possible on Earth. The heat and light from the Sun is felt and seen on Earth, it makes flowers bloom, the birds sing..., life wouldn't exist without it! The Sun is the centre of our solar system and by far it's the largest object. It is spherical in shape and is much, much bigger than the Earth: 1,300,000 times bigger! The distance from Earth to the Sun is 149 millions kilometers.

Thanks to the schoolbook we could learn about the topics  in our native language. Class 5 A focused on Earth's cycle, while class 5 B focused on Moon's cycle. In 5 A we explored Earth's revolution and the subsequent season changes, in 5 B we focused on lunar phases, why they happen and their features. After that we did a specific work about scientific lexicon to be used for that phenomena, switching from Italian to English for Erasmus project. To make easy learning these topics, we decided to make some posters, to show these cycles in a simple way. We used both graphical representations and prompt words.We split in groups, each with a specific task. Finally, teachers helped us writing a short and simple explanation text of the phenomena, in English!

Earth makes two movements. The first is the rotation and is the complete spin that Earth makes on itself, it lasts 24 hours. It's the cause of day and night alternation. The second movement is called revolution and is the tour that the Earth makes around the sun, it lasts about 365 days. Thanks to the inclination of Earth's axis, the change of seasons takes place. Seasons switch in this way: 1. Spring equinoxe (21st of March), where in the northern emisphere spring begins, and in the southern one autumn begins. 2. Summer solstice (21st of June), where in the northern emisphere summer begins, and in the southern one winter begins. 3. Autumn equinoxe (23rd of September) where in the northern emisphere autumn begins, and in the southern one spring begins. 4. Winter solstice (22nd of December), where in the northern emisphere winter begins, and in the southern one summer begins

The Moon makes the same movements of the Earth: rotation and revolution. The Moon makes the revolution around the Earth. The two movements have the same duration, about 27 days. Thanks to this, the Moon always shows the same side to the Earth. Why so do we see the Moon differently? This depends on when the Moon is lit by the Sun when we watch It. Based on the portion of Moon lit, we have lunar phases. They are:

1) New Moon (the Moon is invisible) 

2) Waxing crescent (we see a larger part)

3) First-quarter (half Moon is visible)

4) Waxing gibbous (We see a larger part of the opposite side)

5) Full Moon (All Moon is visible)

6) Waning gibbous (a smaller part is seen)

7) Third-quarter (half Moon is seen)

8) Waning crescent  (a smaller part of opposite side is visible)

This art craft is made by kids from class 1A in Porto Azzurro primary. It shows the four seasons in nature (the tree, animals, fruits) and in our everyday life: school time and Halloween in autumn, Christmas and Carnival in winter, Easter eggs in spring and holidays at the seaside in summer. We put the sun and the rain because they give life to our palnet; it's an oval like the Earth revolution around the sun.

In the month of March, students from the P1S and P2S classes embarked on an inspiring cycle research journey, transforming into true young scientists. They are delving deeply into the key steps of the cycle research process and actively engaging in practical problem-solving tasks.

Grade 1 students are exploring various materials that can be found in the vicinity of the school. They pose questions about the characteristics, similarities, and differences among them.

Grade 2 students are focusing on getting to know the thermometer and the different situations in which it is used.

Through these approaches, students not only strengthen experiential learning but also encourage scientific curiosity and develop critical problem-solving skills. Their cycle research journeys are full of interesting findings and discoveries!
