3. The Current Situation
Singapore’s recycling effort is severely
lacking in our neighbourhoods. There
is little effort put into encouraging
people to recycle their waste materials!

4. Our Considerations
We went through the Basic Pattern of Thinking for InquiryBasic Pattern of Thinking for Inquiry with our
Facilitators
Initial Problematic Situation – ‘Seeing’ the task
closely
Initiating Ideas from the task – ‘Asking’ the issues
raised
Brainstorming for Ideas – ‘Thinking’ about
alternatives
Reasoning & Exploring – ‘Talking’ to different
people to find out more
Evaluating – ‘Making’ our decision

5. Our Alternatives
1. Start a ‘Give and Take’ storybooks
campaign - exchanging old storybooks
which are still in good condition.
2. Promote a school recycling/
environmentally conscious culture –
only use recycled paper/materials.

6. 3. Collect old material (clothes, books)
and give them to the lower-income
families in Pasir Ris Primary School.

7. Our Solution
In order to solve the problem, we have
decided to promote environmental awareness
in our school
Hence, we are going to organise the

8. Our Reasons
According to the School Librarian, there
are many old and unwanted books that are
still in good condition
We want to continue our recycling efforts
in the school in raising our schoolmates’
awareness in the environment
We also want to encourage our
schoolmates to read more widely.

9. What Our Project is all about…
This campaign is all about exchangingexchanging
books with your friends
Simply bring a book from home and
exchange it with another book with
your friends
Or you can simply put your books in
the shelves near the Speakers’ Corner
for others to exchange

10. We ideate…
1. The books must be in good condition (eg
The pages must not be torn or dirty) in
order to qualify for the Give & Take
Campaign
2. Any book not qualified will be given away
3. The borrowed library books cannot be
exchanged

11. We did this…
• Worked with Mrs Caroline Silva, Library Coordinator
• Put up signage and arrange books for exchange
• Advertise in Ezi-Announcer

12. Results
• A range of
books in
different
languages for
exchange

13. Positive Outcomes
1. Through this effort, we are sure that we have
helped the Earth by:
 reducing the number of trees cut down to
print books
 reusing old books instead of throwing them
away
 saving money
 saving electricity needed for the printers to
print the books

14. 2. We have also helped encourage our
schoolmates to read more books. Reading
widely is definitely a plus 
3. Also, this campaign has allowed pupils to get
a chance to exchange books with their
friends; without even spending a cent to read
more books

15. The next lap....
We hope to continue this project by
dedicating a day for every Pasirian to
exchange books with one another
