This term, the JK children have learned how important it is to help save our Planet Earth. During the first week, we focused on recycling and the children shared their knowledge about what they already knew about the topic, such as turning off taps while brushing teeth or turning off lights when no one is in the room.
The JKs love getting their parents involved in their learning so their home activity was to make something using recycled materials. At a special show and tell, each child brought in their project and explained what it was and how it was used. Click on ‘Read more…’ to see lots of photos.
We also held an Earth Open House. We invited other classes into our room and the JKs talked about their recycling projects.
The children enjoyed learning about what they can do to reduce the amount of trash that we use each day and now they bring in Tupperware containers that can be washed and reused, instead of foil and sandwich bags.
