In this one-time class, learners will join together to have some fun, learn new facts and celebrate Earth Day (coming up on April 22). Through Earth Day themed jokes, games, craft and story, learners will be engaged and enjoying themselves while also learning a little more about Planet Earth. Earth Day is a wonderful opportunity to remind ourselves what we love about our beautiful planet and how we can work together to preserve and protect it. Class Activities • Greeting • Ice Breaker with Earth Day themed jokes • Group discussion: Share your favorite place on Earth • Game “Fact or Opinion” (learn interesting facts about the Earth while practicing the difference between facts and opinions) • Game “Mystery Bag Guessing Game” (From the clues provided, see if you can guess different ways to protect planet Earth) • Story: “Here We Are, Notes for Living on Planet Earth” written by Oliver Jeffers • Craft “Happy Earth” Please note that I always ensure that learners are comfortable sharing as much or as little as they would like along the way.
Learning Goals

Hello and welcome! My name is Natasha Locke and I have dedicated my personal and professional endeavors to creating valuable and engaging learning opportunities. My passion for interest-based learning began when I was overseas tutoring and teaching English as a second language. I noticed that natural curiosity and love of learning was steadily diminishing among students, due to the pressures of academic success. I chose to prioritize play-based learning, sensory activities, movement and interest-based learning into my classroom to reignite a sense of curiosity about the world. This experience led me to discover a love for creating fun and stimulating learning opportunities that children actually enjoy. I am a passionate teacher, especially interested in imparting social and emotional skills to young children. I have always been intrigued by human psychology and emotional intelligence, which led me to completing a bachelor's degree in Psychology, followed by a master’s degree in Counselling. I have dedicated valuable time to understanding the most interactive and enjoyable ways to discuss and practice these skills with my own children. I want to be involved in guiding children to develop the interpersonal skills of empathy and kindness at an early age.
Something fun about me is that I have travelled extensively throughout Asia, Europe, North and South America and I love meeting people of all cultures and backgrounds, especially when it involves trying new food! I am looking forward to engaging with and encouraging a passion for learning in your child. I hope to meet your child in class very soon!
