Years 3 and 4 'go back to nature'

Khadijah Sow, Year 4

On Monday, I went to a village in Calavi. We went on a coach. I sat next to Priyanshi and Vanya.

We got to the farm after a fifty minute drive.

First we saw cassava plants . It was smelly when we went to see the goats. All of us were scared, but Eva and Michael were not. They were touching the goats.

Afterwards, we washed our hands and ate our snacks. Then we went back to see plants. We saw different plants like bananas, coconut, paw paw, eggplant, orange, bitter leaf etc. We picked some tomatoes.

My favorite was when we saw a tiny mouse. I noticed that the countryside was very windy and we were told that the farm uses only poo-poo from animals for the plants. Lastly, we washed our hands and went back to the coach. This time I sat next to Eva and Tiana. Since we were tired, we slept.

It was a great visit. I would like to go to the countryside again!

The 2019 - 2020 E.I.S. Yearbook is ready to download.

We began in late March, stepping from 'stone to stone across the morass.' Thank you, teachers, parents and students for walking hand in hand to reach the other side.

EIS answers 'a call for solidarity' and presents a donation to the school, ECOLOJAH / École Endogénie Jardin de la Fraternité, which has been in the process of rebuilding after having been destroyed by an accidental fire in April 2019.

Amir Moutaib from Year 3 helps us to understand.

Thoughts of the tall trees which give shade on the school field inspire Years 3 and 4 to produce lovely artwork.
