How does this benefit the organisation/community that your class is serving?

We made sure to include their activities that can satisfy their needs, and tried to tailor them according to the given themes for each class. For example, as mentioned earlier, the theme for the K2 class would be ‘Singapore - My Discovery of the World’, and thus, we incorporated a song-singing activity, and chose the song to be ‘Singapore Town’. As such, we can both teach the children about Singapore, and about loving the environment. When the students learn how to love the environment, they will then also be able to take more ownership and do their part in protecting the environment. This has a long term benefit for the community, as these students will eventually be the ones who lead Singapore, and it is important for us to have people who love the country as leaders of our country.

What preparation needs to be done?

In order to ensure that the activities planned run smoothly, we will need to ensure that all materials needed are prepared before we visit the childcare centre. Also, we will need to rehearse our skit to make sure that we can keep the children entertained. More visitations to childcare centre may also need to be made, in order for us to be able
