protection, strengthen the environmental culture and atmosphere in

the school to cultivate the attitude of environmental protection for

children. Students become responsible environmental protection

PolicyThe school uses the whole school to participate in a comprehensive

learning model to promote environmental education and integrate

this philosophy into different learning areas.

PlanThe school curriculum team will collaborate with environmental

education on the subject matter to incorporate knowledge and skills

related to environmental protection in both classroom and external

activities. Regardless of music, themes, visits, and scientific inquiry,

different teaching opportunities will instill knowledge of

environmental education. And values, for example, children can

discuss the impact of environmental pollution on plant growth when

park visiting, why do the leaves have a lot of dust; How to use the

body to show the plants without water under the music and

movement activities? Collection recyclable articles and creating

them in order to practice environmental protection.

StrategiesEnvironmental education is not just a matter of imparting

knowledge. More importantly, it is the cultivation of attitudes and the

practice of actions. Therefore, we will not insist that we receive

immediate results. We hope to promote environmental protection in

a “step by step” approach. In order to be able to plant the seeds of

environmental protection in the hearts of children. To achieve the

goal, our school takes the following measures.
