Preparation for Green Wave Day

Activity in conjunction with Green Wave Day

Activity before the launch of Green Wave Day on 22 May 2009:

"Every class will be given a pot of soil, seeds and some fertilizers.
Pupils, teachers and MT teachers of the class need to take care of the plants.
On 22 May 2009, every class needs to write a short journal on how they take care of their plants, their experiences, and their role caring for the plants. Teachers can apply mathematical skills and science knowledge when writing this short class journal. Drawings and other kinds of creativity works are also accepted.
Every class contribution will be uploaded to the Greenwave website for the world to view. It is publicity for our school as well because only 14 schools in Singapore are taking part on Green Wave Day. In 2010 the NParks are hoping mass participation from all schools. The plants will be collected back on 25 May 2009 and transfer to the school garden. The plants will be labelled and taken care." (this message is fr Mdm Masnah)

Green Wave Day 2009

What is Green Wave Day?
It is a day when countries all over the world adopt a tree and will take care of their tree of choice. Every country will water their tree at 10.00 am on 22 May 2009. It is to create awareness and highlight the importance of trees to the world.

Our school will be taking part in Green Wave Day on 22 May 2009 organized by the NPark. Our Title is "Tree's to Share (Head, Heart, Hands)", and our school has chosen Cermai plant to be grown in our school compound. This tree is not commonly seen by the kids. Our pupils will be involved in the complete growth of the plant, as well as in the processing of the fruits into food such as pickles.

It’s also a 'Tree's to Share' (Head, Heart, and Hands) with other children. We will use our mind to come up with ideas to look after the tree, promote the benefits of the tree and what to do with the harvest etc, our heart to love and care for the tree , and we use our hands to water, weed and fertilise the tree.
