Reducing our carbon footprint by planting trees

The N2 classes are collaborating with The Garden City Fund, Plant-a-Tree Programme. Their aim is to raise $400 to plant 2 trees.

Ever since the preschool implemented initiatives on recycling, the Nursery 2 children went on to discuss alternative ways to promote sustainability in caring for the environment. They have had the opportunity to experience making new paper using used/old paper. The children learnt that paper come from trees and understood the role that trees play within the environment. With that understanding, children expressed ideas to plant trees as a way to support sustainability. The children understand that they can support sustainability through reforestation therefore would like to contribute to it. With this, they decided to raise funds to plant a tree by hosting a Movie Evening!

Through the sale of movie tickets and food sales, they managed to raise enough to plant 1 tree!
