What can we do to care for our school environment?


We made posters to spread our messages to everyone in the school so that we can all be responsible for caring for the environment! At playtime and lunchtime the Preps make annoucements over the PA to remind everyone of our important messages.

  3. Hi there!
    Thanks! I really appreciate it! I'll show your voicethread to my students next week.
    So true... we must care for our environment. Spreading the word is so important.
    I don't have a class blog, but my students have blogs. Here's the link: http://kidblog.org/ourgoodnews It'd be great if you visited their blogs. My students are really excited about blogging.
    Thanks again!
    Have a great weekend!

  4. I'm a 4th grade teacher from Richmond, Texas (SW of Houston, Texas). I love your message. I've added it to my kids Edmodo, some of them will be coming to visit you next week.

    We have just been in school for 2 weeks, but we have Labor Day off on Monday.

  5. I hope I am not the only one who finds it seriously amazing and cool that the work of 5-6 year olds in Melbourne Australia (and their wonderful teacher)is being shared in Argentina and Texas and who knows where else!!
    I love the power of blogging.

  10. Hi Prep K

    What a fantastic voicethread! This is a great way to share your messages about caring for the environment. I like the way you worked together as a group to make your posters and said your message as a group.

    Wow - Preps get to use the PA to remind students about caring for the environment. Do you have a roster to do this?

  11. Hi Miss Yeomans,
    We have two Prep grades and our grade reads our messages before play time and the other Prep do their messages before lunch. We don't have a roster but we think it's a great idea so we are going to make one today. Thank you for commenting on our blog. Enjoy your holidays!

    I love your work and the way you, and your fabulous teacher, are helping to care for our environment. As a scientist, it's wonderful to see such young people doing an amazing job for our planet. Keep up the great work and I look forward to reading more about your activities.

  20. Hi Prep K,
    Thank you for your message. I am a chemist, that is, I work with medicines in skin creams to help people with skin problems like eczema.
    Now, you asked me how to make a potion.
    This can be a very tricky job. Firstly you need to be a grown up and put on a white coat and some safety glasses. Small children cannot make potions on their own. Then you need to find a big couldron (called a beaker) and a good mixing paddle. Gently heat the couldron and with careful stirring, slowly add the magical ingredients (called chemicals) until they are joined together to make a colourful mixture. It's sort of like making a cake except you can't eat it. We need lots of new scientists in the world - maybe one day this will be the work you choose to do.

  22. At our school we also try to care for our environment. We recycle almost all of our paper! We are now down to only 3 bags of trash for all of our school! Keep up the great work. You prep K children should be so proud of yourselves!
