Full steam ahead!!
1. Our Earth Project: sustainable living in container gardening. We are setting up our pilot project in tyres, old containers and so on. Our mission is to become experts in growing veggies and herbs in small containers. We want to take what we learn and then volunteer our services in our wider community by setting up small Caring Gardens in places where they are needed. We are getting in touch with how things grow and learning about the magic of growing things. We have a patch of earth to play with!
2. Our Animal Project: The Owl Box. We have an Owl Box and are waiting for the Owl Box Experts to visit us and show us where to set up our box and give us some advice.Horrayyyy! Our Owl Box is ready and waiting.
What lucky children Forres Children are:-)
Forres Preparatory School is situated in Cape Town. We are fortunate to overlook the beautiful Rondebosch Common - an open common of about 40 hectares (100 acres) in Rondebosch, Cape Town in South Africa. It contains one of the only surviving pockets of the critically endangered “Cape Flats Sand Fynbos” vegetation type, which exists nowhere else in the world.
Roots & Shoots South Africa
We are new members of the Roots and Shoots program of the Jane Goodall Institute in South Africa. Forres Preparatory School has started its own Roots and Shoots Club. This is being run by the children, in keeping with the excitement which Forres children already experience in learning to be good stewards of this earth. Forres Prep, overlooking Rondebosch Common, fosters a keen sense of the role we all play in supporting our Diversity and our Natural World.
