Colégio Pedro Arrupe promotes an activity to bring students closer to nature
On March 20, the date that marks the start of spring, Colégio Pedro Arrupe held another edition of the “What does this have to do with me?” tour, which was supported by Horto do Campo Grande. As is tradition, a “lush jungle” was created in the 5th grade corridor to set the tone for the activity. Students were surprised by a corridor transformed into a green maze and had the chance to learn about plants and biodiversity in a playful, fun environment. The activity aimed to bring students closer to nature, encourage the study of plants, and spark students’ curiosity about the importance of biodiversity.

The initiative highlights the importance of preserving the environment and maintaining ecosystem balance, while also offering benefits such as improved air quality and the creation of habitats for animals.
