Unlocking Earth’s treasures

Plant Earth is a tiny dot in space, simply put, it is a rock going around a star!

However, Planet Earth is so much more than a rock, it is a blue jewel, a magical and unique planet, and it is the only planet in our solar system where known life exists. The depth of life on this planet comprises of microscopic bacteria to the giant Blue Whale, a seed to a forest, an embryo to an elderly person…what all of these have in common is that they are living things and together we all share this special blue planet.

The Earth is a treasure chest, full of natural resources that all living things use. Through science lessons, students in Year One and Year Two have been unlocking these resources, the first resource they unlocked was beneath our feet, in the soil and leaf litter. Through a Veolia incursion, students explored and discovered a range of bugs and critters that are natural composters in our school soil.
