We launched SSDB 2021 in conjunction with Earth Day Celebration here in Greenland Childcare @ Fernvale. Throughout the month of April, children from Nursery to K2 have been discussing on the topic of ‘Conservation’. They were taught how to ‘Reduce, Reuse and Recycle’. They learned to finish their food during lunch and snack to reduce food waste. They used recycled materials such as popsicle sticks, yogurt bottles, newspapers to create photo frames, maracas and art pieces. The children shared their thought on their craft work and how they will continue to help conserving at home.
Children meet up with the neighbourhood cleaners to find out more about their job. This gives the children an opportunity to learn how the cleaners maintain the cleanliness of the neighbourhood. The cleaners were interviewed by the children on what are the correct work gears they use, if the pandemic has increased their workload and how long they have been working here as a cleaner. These sessions were an eye opener for the children as they now understand and respect the cleaners for their hard work.
