SSDB LAUNCH PARTY - This year, our SSDB journey kicked off with an exciting collaboration with the Earth Day committee! Children from every level were invited to bring along books on themes like sustainability, marine conservation, and the 3Rs. It was a wonderful way to spark curiosity and start meaningful conversations. Through this launch, we also shared our purpose with families and gave them a sneak peek into the upcoming sustainability initiatives we have in store!
RECYCLING CORNER - In collaboration with Sembcorp, the Earth Day Committee established a Recycling Corner to encourage families and the community to adopt recycling practices while learning to identify and sort different types of plastics. As part of this initiative, the K2 children contributed by designing the space with recyclable materials to create a welcoming environment. They also took on the role of ‘Green People’ ambassadors, sharing their knowledge on plastic types and promoting responsible recycling practices.
NATIONAL DAY SKIT - “OUR SEA, OUR SINGAPORE” - This year’s SSDB initiative concluded with a skit performance by our K2 children titled ‘Our Sea, Our Singapore’, held on National Day. The occasion was chosen as families were present, providing a meaningful opportunity to raise awareness while empowering the children to be advocates for protecting the Earth. The storyline, inspired by The Odd Fish by Naomi Jones, highlighted the importance of safeguarding our oceans and reminded families that their actions can have both positive and negative impacts on the environment. Parents were also encouraged to create costumes for the children using recyclable materials, and the results were both creative and impressive, adding to the meaningfulness of the event.
To further reinforce the sustainability message, a series of game booths was set up using recyclable materials. Families engaged in traditional ‘old school’ games once popular in Singapore, as well as games showcasing the beauty of Singapore’s landmarks and unique kopitiam culture. These activities not only brought joy and nostalgia but also demonstrated how recyclable materials could be creatively repurposed at home for children’s play and learning.
