Interdisciplinary learning theme: green living
From 14th to 28th March, we had an interdisciplinary theme learning week for P1 to P3 at school. The learning theme for this academic year was “Green living”.
Interdisciplinary learning allows students to observe and explore issues from multiple angles, learn to cherish resources and save energy in everyday living. In conjunction with green living, we have arranged outdoor learning activities so that students could be near nature, learn to appreciate, love and preserve our environment.
