Skool4kidz Campus @ Yishun embarked on the Start Small Dream Big (SSDB) project in conjunction with ‘Earth Day’ by having our own launch party in school. The K1 and K2 children kicked off their SSDB project by learning about the importance of caring for our Earth and participated in various activities to learn the importance of keeping our environment clean.
In this launch party, the K1 Children were engaged in a storytelling session with the teachers dressed up as Earth. Through the stories, the children were introduced to the things that harm the environment such as litter and the increasing amount of waste produced by people. They learnt how these factors contribute to land, air and water pollution that harm our Earth.
In hope to save and heal the Earth, the children creatively expressed their commitment and/or goals by writing their pledges on the band-aid plasters.
They pasted their band-aid plasters onto the Earth craft, pledging to do their part in loving and caring for our Earth!
As for the K2 Children, they were introduced to different ways to keep the environment clean through the watching of an educational video. The teacher also introduced to the children that switching off the light when not in used is one of the way to show care for the earth.
Afterwards, children learnt about the song ‘This is Our World’ that teaches them about the importance of our Mother Earth and be a part to help the planet to be safe and healthy to live in.
Lastly, they were engaged in the Pledge Craft where they wrote down what they can contribute as individuals to keep their environment clean as well as saving the Earth.
The children had fun during the launch party as they had more information on the SSDB project that they are going to embark on for the next few months.
