Recycling Bins

Friday (27/04/2012)



a) Recycling Bins.

 There are many types of recycling bins. Usually, the common ones include Recycling Bins for plastic(brown), paper (blue) and tin plus aluminum (orange). Some also included bins for plastic, chemical among others. Items which are not recyclable are placed in trash or dustbins.

 The kids made a big circle while I poured some mixture of recycling items in the middle of the circle. Altogether there were 5 boxes for plastic, tin, aluminum, paper and also clothes.

 The kids took turns to place the items. The first group placed the items wrongly. Thus, the 2nd group inspected their segregated items. The third group checked again and finally we checked together. By the end of it, the segregation was good and tidy!



b) Magical Castle Games.

 Jia Xun suggested Snake and Ladder game. Shawn suggested a crocodile game which he said we can play from I-phone. Rei suggested a fish game. Finally, the kids taught that Snake and Ladder would be more suitable and easier to play at outdoor.

 I sketched a ladder while kids helped with the numbers. I drew 2 snakes beside the ladder. The kids said the winner would get to wear a crown!

 Then, we sketched on the classroom floor. The kids took turn to play and they enjoyed most when they stepped onto the number whereby they were swallowed by snakes to the “Start” position.



c) The Ball Game 1 and 2.

 We brainstormed on games that we can play in Magical Castle. We thought of the dart game but it uses magnets but it might be unsuitable for outdoor. Thus, we modified by using a “stickable” ball to throw and aim at a point. We had 2 pictures as the aiming point. The “Smiley” faces and also the “Circles”.
