Occupation Box

A Box Full Of Surprise!
Occupation means a person’s work or business, especially as a means of earning a living. The occupation box however, is a purposeful project innovated by the children. It is packed with plenty of items which link to various occupations. The children’s learning and understanding are reinforced through these items. It is definitely an eye-opener for them.

Learning Process
Throughout the “occupation” theme, we watched many videos of the different community heroes in action, went for field trips and even had a few of them come into the centre. We brainstormed and agreed on the crafts we would like to work on and produced assortments of crafts related to our community heroes. Slowly but surely, we added a craft into our box week after week until it is full.

Reflection
Through this project, the children learn:
a. To appreciate their community heroes.
b. About the blue-collar workers and the white-collar workers.
