Our school value this week has been kindness. In our Monday assembly, we used one of our Lyfta Storyworlds to visit Nay Elaine who lives in the Philippines to help us explore this theme. Nay Elaine works as a Forest Guard to protect the rainforest and its wildlife near her home. Her team of Forest Guards work long hours in the forest monitoring the wildlife and protecting it from hunters. Over the years they have been doing their work, the forest has been rejuvenated, thanks to them. We considered how our own efforts around sustainability at our school, including the role of our school Green Team of Eco Warriors, were connected with Nay Elaine's work despite it taking place in a very different part of the world.
