SSDB 2020: Video Conferencing with Parent and Community Partner on Zero Waste

In light of COVID-19, we invited Mrs Cher from National Environmental Agency (NEA), who was also a parent from one of our K1 children, to contribute and support the children’s SSDB project via online. Mrs Cher delivered a talk about ‘Zero Waste’ through video recording for our children. Hence, on 7 September 2020, the video recording from Mrs Cher was viewed by our K1 and K2 children. The video covered topics such as:

• reducing consumption

• minimising wastage

• maximising recycling and composting, and

• practising the 3 Rs in our daily lives –        Reduce, Reuse and Recycle

In addition, the children had a Q & A session with Mrs Cher via Zoom on 9 September 2020. The children prepared a list of questions pertaining to ‘Zero Waste’ for Mrs Cher. For example, they asked:

• Why we cannot waste food?

• Why do we have to use recycle things to do     things we want to make?

• Why we cannot throw away carton boxes?

• Why we cannot throw away too much      plastic bags?

Furthermore, to show our appreciation, the children created a “Thank You” card specially for Mrs Cher, which was presented to her after the Zoom interview.
