Children get familiar with the idea of ‘going on a bear hunt’ by listening to a story. They go on a bear hunt themselves, whereby they are stimulated to think about their searching strategy and the importance of sight. Based on these experiences, they create their own bear hunt.

Music (BE)
Children explore the rhythm and melody in a piece of music and create their own piece of music by programming rhythm and melody (e.g. in scratch)

It is suggested that the activities be carried out with children aged between 5 and 6 years, and with more support from teachers, students aged between 3 and 5 years should be able to respond to them.
Students will create maps so that children with visual impaired disability can orientate in the school area.
The goals are to collaborate, communicate and solve problems. Make students aware of and understand children with different needs. Also to learn to use their different senses.
Make students more aware of sustainable development.
Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Awareness about plastic.
