Earth Day

Hi 3.4,

"Do you know that 22nd April is Earth Day? So what is Earth Day? If you want to know more, go to this link http://www.ecokids.ca/pub/eco_info/topics/environmental/earthday/index.cfm
and 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?"

Please I want everyone of you to respond and reflect on the postings that have been put up.
Less than 10 of you have been faithfully responding and commenting on the postings.
Thank you very much. Please continue to do so while the others must start to do so.

Waiting to read your responses.

International Friendship Day

Hi 3.4,
We celebrated International Friendship Day last Thursday. I hope you have enjoyed the programmes organised for you. This week I would like you to reflect on this topic.
Here are some questions to guide you.

What was the theme for International Friendship Day this year?
Do you think that it is important to have friends from other countries? Why?
In what way do you think that this is important to a country?
Do you know of anyone from other countries in your class or school? How much do you know about them or their countries?
When you get to know someone from another country, what would you like to know or find out from that person?

I'm waiting to hear from all of you.

Learning Journey to Farms

Hi 3.4,
Did you enjoy your journey to the farms on 3 April? I hope you did. I enjoyed myself and I found it very educational. I like the goat farm best. That was the first time I watched how goats are milked even though as a child I had seen goats, ducks, turkeys and cows roaming on the farm.
Now I want you to tell me what you have learnt from the journey and tell me about your experience.
Here are some questions to guide you in your thoughts.

How did you feel during your visit to each farm?
Write down 3-4 things you have learnt from the learning journey.
What did you like most? Give reason/s.
What was it that you did not like? Give reason/s and suggestion/s to make future trip better.
What do you think of the whole learning journey? Would you recommend it to that others? Why?

Looking forward to see your comments.
