School in the Bush

 

There is nothing like having a school surrounded by the bush.  Yesterday one of the conservation farming students stopped by the school with her met monkey, "Joyce."  Such a cute and alive face it has.  All the children loved seeing it.

 

Today as the children arrived, there was much excitement.  One child had brought a turtle.  Another had found a chameleon.  Of course, some, including one of the teachers, were almost frightened of the chameleon.  There was a live locust nearby, so we put it next to the chameleon. In an instant his tongue went out and the locust was half gone in his mouth. 

 

So we don't have to bring nature to the school.  It just comes to us and is all around.
