Tree Planting day @ Thinkerstar Preschool 🌳

Children learn best from first hand experience! And that’s what happened to our Thinkerstar children as they witnessed the much awaited day for us to plant our beloved tree just outside our Centre! Isn’t that awesome? We have our own Tree! 😊 The children called it “Thinkerstar Tree” But in fact that tree is “Gelam Tikus” which can grow up to 10 M tall

The tree planting was in collaboration with the National Park for Biodiversity Week for schools and to support our SSDB project “Spread Awareness to Zero Food Waste” which aimed to save the Earth and for children to learn how to care in their environment

After doing the storytelling to our dear children about the “Giving Tree”, the children watched the whole process of planting the tree:

The man helped us dig a hole in the soil mix

And cut out the base of the bag of the tree and placed it upright into the hole

The man also shoveled the excavated soil back into the hole and our Thinkerstar children helped to put the compost (fertilizer) 

They even helped out to water the plant right away!

What an amazing hands on experience for everybody!
