Bottle Recycling is picking up speed!
Remember the brand new Water Bottle Recycling bin that SUEZ donated to the school (see the blog post here)?
We hoped it would spur on good practices, and it has raised awareness indeed! More people are recycling! Our Eco-monitors show the difference.

CEBC Carbon Footprint Competition
Just a reminder that for the months of April and May we are aiming to reduce our carbon footprint in order to win SOLAR PANELS from our great friends at CEBC Schools Environmental Protection Program! (Here is a link to our original announcement)
Even if we don't win it will still be important to follow these recommendations from the CEBC SEPP!

Eco Month : Bottle Collection
A challenge we have faced at RWA is ensuring that our plastic water bottles are recycled...
(we encourage re-usable water bottles, but are still working for more of this in action - until then... )
We have partnered with our good friends at SUEZ Environmental to get a beautiful and VISIBLE recycling cage. The bottle collection cage is more visually encouraging to students to use, and the collection will be done especially for our school by SUEZ.
> Installation!
> Everyone recycled!
> The E-Team shows us how it's done!
>Nice Shot!
> YES!

Earth Day fell on 22 April 2016 - A Friday, so we at RWA celebrated on Thursday the 21st!
Earth Day celebrated in Primary by singing RWA Eco code song, writing a pledge and making Greenclass agreements! Students and teachers had t-shirt making, dressed in green, and kept the lights out all day!
We had so many activities it is hard to show them all here!

Eco Month : COIN ART !
Each year at RWA the month of April is dedicated to all things ECO!
We kicked it off this year with our annual COIN ART display, which was a way to raise awareness and to raise money for our Eco-garden and Fashion Show.

Unit of Inquiry in Primary School
One of the best parts of our PYP and MYP curriculum is the UNIT OF INQUIRY activities. Students are encouraged to do all sorts of projects related to their interests - - math, art, writing, reading.
This holistic approach explicitly incorporates environmental issues like biodiversity and pollution. Here is one of our KG1 students who has made a display of Clean and Dirty things he found at the beach in Dubai and Animals that he saw there.

This group of fourth graders were exploring surveys and statistics. They surveyed their fellow classmates about BIODIVERSITY AWARENESS. This was the MOST POPULAR theme in this project! Different teams asked about specific species, protections, charity organisations, and actions that their fellow students had taken to protect wildlife.
