Think global, act local!

 

Today, for our IPC Exit Point, Lower Primary organised 'Healthy body, Healthy air day'! A lot of work went into preparing for today - the children made promotional posters, they prepared presentations to explain to the other classes why we were organising this event and they made certificates!

Here are Ivan, Chinmay and Luka confidently explaining to the Upper Primary class about why we were organising Healthy body, Healthy air day.

 

Here are Nanda, Shawn, Yashika and Diya explaining to Miss Mia's class about Healthy body, Healthy air day. The Upper Pre-Primary children had many questions to ask the organisers! The Lower Primary students were very excited to explain how they needed to come to school on Friday to get a prize and why!

Lastly, here are Gaya, Shubhan, Ansh and Avyukth explaining to the youngest ISG pupils about our event. Lower pre-primary pupils also had lots of questions and comments to share about different types of transport!

Today was the big day! All the school was involved and it was great to see as many people as possible coming to school by foot, bike or public transport. The Lower Primary students were very proud to hand out medals and their hand-made certificates congratulating everyone for reducing air pollution!

Here is Ivan, whose idea it was to organise today, arriving nice and early on his bike so he can start to hand out prizes!

Once everyone was back in their class, 3 students went around to collect data! Using a tally chart they recorded how students came to school today!

Yay! The Lower Primary students were so happy! Earlier in the unit when we found out the most common way for students to come to school it was by car - but not today! Most people came by walking or biking on Healthy body, Healthy air day. I introduced the saying 'Think global, act local' and we were all proud that we had a made a difference!

 

Have a good weekend everyone!
