Yesterday, on World Environment Day, the children in our Early Learning Centre found inspiration in the remarkable work of Dr Jane Goodall, particularly her dedication to chimpanzees and how she helps to look after our world. When asked recently what was the thing that gives Dr Goodall hope for the future, she answered, “Our young people”. When prompted about ways to contribute to a better world, our young learners voiced insightful suggestions such as “We could turn off the tap” (Lukas), “We can pick up rubbish and put it in the bin” (Sunday) and “We can look after animals” (Harper).
