Sustainability is not just about adopting the latest energy-efficient technologies or turning to renewable sources of power. Sustainability is the responsibility of every individual every day.
-Joe Kaeser
This week in our Grade 5/6 class, we had an enriching STEM adventure with the theme of Sustainable Cities for the Future. We kicked off by asking a big question: What would a sustainable city look like 25 years from now? Our students shared amazing ideas, imagining cities that are cleaner, greener, and smarter.
Our main focus was on energy and energy sources—a key part of building sustainable cities. We explored different types of energy, especially renewable sources like solar, wind, and hydro power. Students learned about the challenges we face today, such as pollution and fossil fuel depletion, and why renewable energy is so important for our planet’s future.
Inspired by these ideas, the class brainstormed creative solutions and innovations that could help make cities more sustainable. From solar-powered buildings to wind turbines integrated into parks, their ideas were innovative and hopeful.
The highlight was turning their ideas into a Lego city. Each student contributed to building a mini sustainable city, showcasing their energy solutions and creative designs. This hands-on project helped bring their visions to life and showed how teamwork and STEM skills can shape a better future.
We’re so proud of our young innovators and can’t wait to see how they continue to think critically and creatively about sustainability.
Have a wonderful weekend to all of you.
Your homeroom teacher,
Ms. Pam
