My idea was to do a collage with the nature in our garden

Teachers comment

Your project idea is good but keeps in mind when writing about the project to include as much information as possible and to include examples of conversations. Include two photos of the space

I spoke to the Group leader in regards to children’s interest and ideas of activities about sustainability and decided to do a collage with nature found in our playground.

The children created this collage they collected the leaves and dirt from the playground and glued it onto the large piece of recycled paper making our collage out of nature. While we were making this collage we talked about how to care for our environment. I ask the children how you think we care for the environment/playground. One of them said that we need to water it regularly and pull out any unwanted weeds. Another one said that we need to rake up unwanted leaves. Then I ask them what do they do at home to care for their gardens one said that they water them and but fertiliser on it to make it grow.

However I did not include the collection of the leaves due to privacy reason of the children not being allowed to be pictured.


Please help as I am not sure on how to go about this question

So, for your idea (nature collage) you need to set this experience up to make it interesting for children.

Just an idea... in the garden, you could add a picnic blanket. Add small baskets of different natural objects to use for the collage, 2 pots of glue and 2 clipboards for the collage paper. On the picnic blanket you could also add a few picture books on insects, different types of flowers etc. that they may see in the garden.

The way you set up an activity is important because it determines whether or not the child will be interested in doing it.

Hope this helps,
