Learners identify ways of protecting land, E.g. do not throw polythene bags, water sachet, and empty cans on the land. learners draw and color a clean environment. Assessment: identify and share roles to learners and have them role play ways of protecting the land. Learners draw people who keep our communities safe E.g. the police, fire service personnel. Learners demonstrate safe practices in the community, E.g. sweeping school compound, picking litter. Learners present their drawings to the class for appraising.
