Stemming from the girls work around the buttercups, a focus for this term has developed around ecological thinking and caring for our beautiful world.
We based a recent morning meeting discussion around the ways in which we can work to take care of our world and the girls spoke passionately about what they believed they needed to do to make a difference. It was lovely to hear words such as care and responsibility coming through.
“We need to take care of the world.” - Olivia
“Our world.” - Mia
“We need to pick up rubbish.” - Sydney
“We need to take responsibility...for our gardens.” - Chicky
“If we throw stuff on the beach, we need to throw it in the bin afterwards.” - Victoria
“Petrol is not good for the air. My mummy is waiting for a car that doesn’t use any petrol.” - Siena
“I need to water my plants.” - Katie
“We want no rainy days though.” - Mia
“But we need rainy days! We need rain so that the plants can grow, so that my vegetables can grow.” - Siena
“If you don’t have rain my tomatoes won’t grow.” - Katie
As a wonderful coincidence, Reverend Moss happened to be talking about caring for our beautiful earth and respecting God’s creation in chapel a few days later. On our walk back from the chapel the girls considered God’s creation. They talked about the flowers they could see, the sky and the trees...
