How do you connect with Nature?
Bruny Island
The Bruny kids from class 2-3 were asked How they connect with nature? Listening to the insights from children can guide us all on how to reconnect.
“I breathe the air from the trees.
I love swimming in the water.
And I love the sweet smell of trees,
because I am surrounded by them.
And I also like eating fruit.
When I am in nature, I just love the wind on my face.
It is the best feeling ever.”
"I feel connected to the bioluminescence because it is beautiful. It makes me feel calm. When it makes me calm I think about how pretty nature is".
