ART AND CULTURE Poetic Moment: biodiversity in poetry Celebrating the International Biodiversity Day, students of 7th grade performed a show that involved the fields of Portuguese, Science, English, Arts and Information Technology, resulting in poems and audiovisual productions. The students demonstrated their critical view in relation to the harm that man has been doing to nature, while disrespecting the various ecosystems, jeopardizing the existence of plants, animals, earth, water, atmosphere and the humankind itself. Students reflect upon biodiversity through their own poems Earth Day To celebrate Earth Day, students from 3-7 years old, turned into “tigers”, “elephants”, “monkeys”, etc., interacted in a scenario that simulated a forest, having fun, lifting up the atmosphere, encouraging reflection on the care with life on Earth.
