Go Green Holiday Workshop

Together with Da Vinci Kids, we held an inaugural Go Green Holiday Workshop in the month of December. The workshop is purposed with the following learning outcomes:

• Children will reduce, reuse, and recycle.
• Children will love the Earth.
• Children will be responsible for their actions.
• Children will do their part for the greater good.

Here is a snapshot of the five-day holiday programme.

On the first day, children learnt about their Earth through picture books and interesting videos. They were challenged to imagine what Earth would be like in one hundred years. They came up with interesting ideas like: If you litter the earth, aliens will come, Earth is like a space ship, people will live in the side, with homes made of ladders. One says, “If you don’t take care of Earth, rocks will fall into Earth.” We were most impressed with their unusual creative ideas.

On days two, three and four, the children made a book about the 3R’s (Reduce, Reuse, And Recycle) and created interesting crafts using recycled materials. Children also learnt to value their environment and the resources available. On the last day, the learning centre was messed up with cans, bottles, magazines, papers, glass bottles. Children role-played the 3R bins. They had fun sorting out the materials, cleaning up the centre, (which was Earth) and playing an active role to make Earth well again.

Leaders of tomorrow, let’s bring the message to others and make a difference!

Goldilocks And The Three Bears

“Goldilocks and The Three Bears” is a classic children’s story. The story has various interpretations and has been adapted into board games, films, operas, and other media. “Goldilocks and The Three Bears” is an all-time favourite and one of the most popular fairy tales in the English language up till today. We realised this when the children enjoyed themselves so much when they role played the story four to five times during our Speech and Drama session last Friday, 26 November 2010. There is a bountiful of values that the children can learn from it. In “Goldilocks and the Three Bears”, leadership skills such as obedience, love, care, self-control, respect, cleanliness, discipline, patience, responsibility, orderliness, contentment, forgiveness, gratefulness, and communication can be reinforced too. What a wonderful story it is, indeed!
