A wheel chair for 500.000 plastic bottle caps

By instinct, kids are born to be very curious having strong will to learn. This motivates them to acquire and absorb information from their surroundings.
Thus the school community works together as one to develop the students’ skills reflecting the IB learner profile. For that, 8th grade students visited the KGIIB class and took the initiative in explaining the concept of “Recycling” and its consequences for the sake of living in a healthy environment. Consequently, KGIIB students participated in the 3Rs process that stands for (reducing , reusing and recycling ) as they acted responsibly toward the environment by being extremely interested in sorting the unneeded materials such as (papers , nylon bags , aluminum foil sheets … ) in the specified boxes , as they also brought some of these materials to be reused .
Moreover, the kids showed a high degree of humanity when they reacted positively and courageously toward the charitable deed which was included in the campaign. It was buying a wheel chair for disabled kids, and that’s for 500.000 plastic bottle caps. Thus learners showed pleasure during collecting the caps of achieving such deed.
Furthermore, this instruction (recycling ) by all its simplicity in discussion to suit the preschools’ ability of understanding , developed and established the sense of appreciation to nature and human’s activities .
