Today we were given a beautiful garden space. We have some beautifully painted tyres and packets of seeds. Tomorrow we are moving into our new garden. You can just feel the excitement about getting ready to start digging and planting. Last week the Roots and Shootsers took home brown paper bags. They were given the instruction to put a potatoe into the bag with a small apple. These became the little Nursery. All week they have been left to "turn to seed" quietly and secretly in their little bags.... I have heard whispers about how the spuddies are doing - hopefully we will have a lovely collection of little baby spuds to plant into the ground tomorrow.
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.
