We spent time on Monday watching a video about Forest Man. He lived in an area of India that was prone to erosion, poaching, and environmental damage caused by the inaction of humans.
We discussed how he was powerful and that through his actions he was able to make a positive change for his community but also the environment and animals. Over 40 years he single handedly planted a forest in what was once a wasteland.
In base groups we roamed the school and identified some problems that we would like to take action on during our next inquiry.
We came up with a number of interesting ideas from water slides, elephant swings and a swimming pool to tree houses, more sand in the sand pit, more trees to climb and harakeke for weaving!
Our next step is to continue identifying problems or needs and finding out how to take action, who to ask, and using our power to make it happen.
