On 14 August our Educare reopened after 140 days of lock down. We welcomed back the pre Grade R children who quickly slipped back into their daily routine. They were very keen to get back to doing arts and crafts, baking, and exploring the garden. For our children gardening is a creative activity that leads them into slower rhythms of time. The fragrant plants, wet earth, sounds of the birds, and taste of freshly picked fruit provides them with a sense of peace and an intimacy with nature. Mahatma Gandhi said; “to forget how to dig the earth and to tend the soil is to forget ourselves.”
