This week we had guest speakers from The Salvation Army visit our classroom. They explained how they receive donations of goods either in person or via collection. They then sort these before they are sold in their Family Stores, given to needy families or sent overseas to help people recovering after natural disasters. We will be exploring how we can help organise donations in ISS later in the school year. The children then worked in groups to show this process in the form of a flow-chart. The children have also been investigating where goods come from. They brought in items from home and looked at things in the classroom to discover where they were made. We discussed how the goods might have got to us in Singapore and explored maps and potential routes. We discovered that we are connected to many different countries by the goods that we buy. We were inspired by the actions of other children around the world who have created their own systems of exchange that really help their community. Grade 2 have decided to use Caine's Arcade as the inspiration for our stall at the upcoming ISS Fun Fair and we will be designing and building our own arcade games from recycled materials.
