This week, the students of 5th and 6th primary went to the permaculture micro-farm "Les Jardins de la Lépiote" located in Le Vaud. The children were able to discover the fascinating field of "permaculture", whose main foundation is based on the development of organic food production according to the seasons in harmony with the biodiversity and the natural ecosystems.
In the morning, the owners of the site organised a treasure hunt in the field to learn how to observe and locate the elements of the garden. "We picked edible plants and flowers from the garden and made a salad, it was so good !", said a 5th grader.
During the afternoon the pupils made two insect hotels by collecting elements from nature.
The pupils, accompanied by their teachers, also took the opportunity to visit the Zoo de la Garenne, which is just a few steps away from the Jardins de la Lépiote.
By learning to plan their time wisely, students can be more productive, develop great study habits, and create a balanced lifestyle – one that fosters both personal and academic growth. Mastering this essential skill also sets them up for future success.
“What do you want to be when you grow up?” Here at Champittet, we know that inspiring children to dream big while envisioning their future is a core part of education. It’s also the focus of Dare All Trades Day, or JOM (Journée Oser tous les Métiers).
The Winter Ball is an eagerly awaited annual tradition here at Champittet, but this year brought a twist: the school’s first ever Masquerade Ball. With the theme “Black and Gold, don’t forget your mask!”, this year’s winter dance was organised by 14th-grade IB students, and the event was open to students in grades 9 and 10.
