Sustainability Part II
Activities for Children to Explore the World and to Learn About the Environment
1) Visit to East Coast Park and observe the litter and accumulated rubbish and fallen leaves, bald patches in the grass
1a) Maybe organise a beach clean-up
2) Video viewing about paper manufacture (How many trees have to be killed to produce a stack of paper?)
3) A visit to Sembawang Beach (there is a restaurant which dumps food remnants into the sea/ taps are facing the sea so that dirty water is piped back to the sea)
4) Instead of using commercial paints for art & craft, use natural dyes and colours such as beet roots, red cabbage water, old tamarind powder, and so forth)
5) Use home-made glue instead of commercial glue (using flour/starch remains from cooking)
6) Take the children outdoors and get them to distinguish between elements that are natural in the environment (e.g., stones and soil on the ground) and things that don't belong (such as litter --> stray cans etc)
7) Include environment-themed books in the class library
8) Teachers can travel and take videos of different scenes/landscapes/environments, and encourage the children and their parents to do the same when they travel
9) Use old flour and salt (home-made play dough) instead of buying commercial play dough
10) bring the children to visit the water reservoirs in Singapore, talk about water consumption in Singapore, and things that have innovated (NEWater)

Sustainability
Example of Common Everyday Habits Detrimental to the Environment
1) wastage of printing paper and toilet rolls
2) wastage of water
3) wastage of food
4) wastage of recyclable materials
Actions and ideas to promote Sustainability
1) reusing papers printed on one side (encouraging the children to use the blank
sides)
2) switching off fans/lights/water heaters when not in use
3) have a "recyclable materials" treasure hunt in class
4) have a lesson where we go without certain materials that are usually taken for granted (to make the children realise what it could be like, and to get them to brainstorm ideas for alternatives/ways to reduce/reuse/recycle)
5) make a "day" out of it; celebrate a "Green Day" or suchlike
6) recycle containers for classroom stationery holders (or other classroom tools and materials)
7) use newspapers for cleaning instead of paper napkins
8) collecting rain water/or water used for vegetable washing to water plants
9) unused old items (such as spoilt cameras and telephones and clothes/traveller's iron) in the home corner to add to the sense of "realness"
10) using magazines for art and craft and Word Bank (language related activities/lessons, instead of using fresh print)
11) call for donations of unwanted (but usuable) toys, books for the school
12) keep plastics for throwing rubbish or children's soiled clothes and towels
13) get the children to design and decorate their own recycle bins for class use (where they can sort plastics, metals and papers for reusing)
14) Role-play what would happen if we did not take care of the earth, or show videos of places and countries that undergo the effects of pollution and global warning
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
