1) For the concept of ‘Protecting our Environment’ to be introduced to the children:

Our class feels that it can be difficult to introduce recycling to children, especially so at such a young age. Therefore, we want to help the child-care centre to do so, using the books “Responsible Roy” and “Stubborn Stacy”. We hope to help the children grasp the importance of protecting our environment through little things we may do in our daily life and we want to be able to engage the children so that they will enjoy the process of learning this important concept.

2) For our activities to correspond to their given themes:

Places that surround the childcare centre

When organising our activities, the childcare centre has stated that they wish for us to do so also with themes that differ according to the classes. This is so as they themselves have different learning objectives that they have to fulfil with each class. For the nursery, the theme would be ‘Transportation’, while for the K1 class, it would be ‘Places in my Community’. For the K2 class, it should have activities relating to the theme of ‘Singapore - My Discovery of the World’.
