Complementary Teacher - Ms. Mary Grace Giordimaina

English: Recycling

Lesson Plan: Lesson done with year 5 students on checklist 3

Objectives:

Children will understand the term recycle and how they can recycle things they use in everyday life.
They will also learn some steps that need to be done to understand a text and be able to answer the questions correctly.

Focus:

E-CL 3.07 Appreciates that different kinds of information can be acquired through reading.

Material needed: Recycle song, recycle comprehension handout, Whiteboard.

Warm-up: Children will listen to a song called R E C Y C L E. The children will be given a handout with the words and they can sing along.

Main Teaching Activity: Teacher and children discuss the song together. Teacher will ask some questions on recycle to the children, like: What is recycling all about? What can we recycle? Where do we take the things to be recycled? This is done to check the children’s knowledge with regards to recycling.

The teacher will give out the comprehension text and give them some time to read the text silently. Then the children will have a chance to read the text aloud. Teacher will explain difficult words.

Then the students will read the questions and re-read the text. Then we will start the questions and the children will have to find the answer from the text and highlight it. Finally, the children will have time to answer the questions.

We will go through the questions and answers together.

Closure of lesson: We can sing the song again.

Recycling, what is it?

Recycling means to reuse or remake something that we would normally throw in the rubbish bin.

Pollution from a factory

Landfill site

What do we recycle?

Recycling helps our planet because we conserve the planet’s natural resources. It helps reduce pollution and greenhouse gases which cause global warming. For example, making new metal cans is more difficult than recycling old ones. Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to power a computer for 3 hours.

What can be recycled?

You can recycle many things such as paper, card, metal, material, plastics (some plastics are difficult to recycle), food waste (leftovers), cooking oil, mobile phones and garden waste.

Most of the above are put in the bin and taken to a landfill site. In the landfill the waste takes 100s of years to breakdown. When the waste is breaking down it makes a gas called methane. Methane is bad for the environment. Recycling stops some waste going to a landfill site.

Answer the questions

1. What does recycling mean?

2. How does recycling help our planet?

3. Can you think of 3 different plastic containers that can be recycled?

4. How long does it take for waste to breakdown in a landfill site?

5. What is methane?

6. Why we should not throw batteries in the rubbish bin?

a. Because batteries can be recharged.

b. Because the chemicals can leak out of the battery at the landfill site and damage the environment.

c. Because we can reuse them again and again and if we throw them away it is wasteful for the environment.

7. Can you think of 3 different paper and card products that can be recycled?

This is a battery. It can only be used once. Inside there are dangerous chemicals that are not good for the environment.

Recycle

L-għalliem ried jgħallem l-istudenti li nistgħu nagħmlu użu minn oġġetti varji qabel narmuhom fil-kontenituri tar-reċiklaġġ. Il-vit tal-klassi issaddat u nqasam. Għal daqstant l-għalliem tal-Arti, flimkien mal-istudenti, ħoloq żewġ pitturi interessanti b’dan il-vit.

Health and Safety Teacher

Sigurtà fil-karozza

Waqt dil-lezzjoni it-tfal tal-ewwel sena tgħallmu dwar l-importanza tas-sigurtà waqt is-sewqan. It-tfal saru jafu dwar kemm hu neċessarju li nilbsu ċ-ċinturin tas-sigurtà waqt li nkunu qegħdin fil-karozza. It-tfal tgħallmu ukoll li meta xi adult ikun qed isuq, huwa importanti ħafna li joqogħdu bil-għaqal u ma joqogħdux itellfuh sabiex jiġu evitati inċidenti tat-traffiku.

Health and Safety Teacher

Sigurtà fit-triq

Waqt dil-lezzjoni it-tfal tat-tieni sena tgħallmu dwar l-importanza tas-sigurtà waqt li jkunu qed isuqu rota. It-tfal tkellmu dwar diversi miżuri li għandhom jittieħdu meta jkunu qed isuqu r-rota bħal:

- isiqu r-rota meta jkunu ma' xi adult;

- isuqu r-rota f'postijiet addattati u mhux fit-toroq;

- ikollhom rota bi brejkijiet tajbin u horn tajjeb;

- il-kbar li jsuqu r-rota irid ikollhom ilbies li jidher ħalli s-sewwieqa ma jtajruħx;

- importanti li tintlibes il-ħelmit.

It-tfal tgħallmu dwar ir-raġunijiet li wieħed jilbes il-ħelmit waqt li jkun qed isuq rota sabiex f'każ ta' inċident ikun jista' jipproteġi ruħu. Wara it-tfal tgħallmu jkantaw il-kanzunetta The Helmet.

First Aid

Waqt dil-lezzjoni it-tfal tat-tielet sena tgħallmu xi aspetti bażiċi dwar kif għandha tingħata l-ewwel għajnuna. Xi punti importanti li ġew diskussi huma:

- kif tgħin persuna li tkun se tifga fl-ikel;

- x'għandek tagħmel meta xi ħadd iħossu ħażin;

- kif nistgħu ngħinu lil xi ħadd li jkun weġġa';

- fejn għandek iċċempel u xi informazzjoni utli tista' tagħti.
