PYP 3

Sharing the planet

Last week PYP 3 students had a chance to reflect on the environmental problems and to further investigate the ones they were interested in. They reviewed the problems and causes of environmental issues in the world and worked in groups to find connections between actions of people and the consequences in the environment.

Some of the questions we had:

Why are we having these problems?

What are people doing to cause these problems?

How does it affect us and the environment?

Reducing, reusing and recycling…

In PE, children brought recyclable materials from home and created toys and games as means to address the concept of reducing, reusing and recycling.

They also used scrap paper to make paper airplanes.
