Earth Day 2009

Hi Kids,


Do you know that 22nd April is Earth Day?

So what is Earth Day?


If you want to know more, go to the following links:


http://www.ecokids.ca/pub/eco_info/topics/environmental/earthday/index.cfm
http://holidays.kaboose.com/earth-day/



Read as much as you can about what people in other parts of the world do on that day.


Then reflect on what Earth Day means to you.

Here are some questions to guide you:

1. Is Earth Day important to you? Why?


2. What do you understand by the phrase "save the Earth"?


3. Why do you think it is important to recycle, reuse and reduce?


4. What can you do to save the Earth?


5. Can you suggest an activity which you and your family will do for "Earth Day?"



Lots of love,
Ms Shaneza

1. Why do we celebrate International Friendship Day?

2. Do you know how International Friendship Day come about?

3. What does ASEAN stand for?

4. Do you know a lot about ASEAN?

Try this game at this website:http://www.ifd2009.com.sg/

What is your knowledge about ASEAN?

5. Do you like the activities organised by the school on International Friendship Day?

If not, Why? If 'yes', why?

6. Do you have any friend/s in the ASEAN countries?

Tell us how you get to know him/her.

7. What activities do you think the school should organise to help pupils develop friendship with the ASEAN countries?

I hope to read your reflection soon.
