GREEN SCHOOL BALI

Hello again!

I would like to take this opportunity to say a BIG thankyou to the staff and students who hosted me at the amazing Green School in Bali in January!

 

Thanks to Glenn, Nuan, Margot & Andy! I was luckt to have taught two classes where i did integrated units combining food, nutrition, art and global studies. In Glenn Chickering's Year 7 class we explored the sustainability, origins of food and basic nutrition principles as well as food models and then in small groups students designed and created their own food model that incorporated nutrition as well as principles relating to sustainability and creating a healthier planet. Studenst were engaged and  a delight to teach!

In Ibu Margot's grade 6,7,8 Art class i taught students portrait drawing and we discussed the health benefits of organic, local and seasonal fruits and vegetables. I introduced them to Archimbaldi a C19th Italian artist who painted portraits of people as fruit/ vegetables! This inspired them to create their own self portraits and the results were fabulous and very creative and original!

Green School offers students an amazing educational experience . An education at Green School is preparation for Green Leadership of tomorrow. Its students will be the confident generation that wants to, and can, make a difference to creating a healthier planet.

 

Green School has a few simple rules in mind: be local, let your environment inform your decisions, and think about how future generations might be influenced by your decisions today! So promote recycling, conserve water and energy, buy and eat local and seasonal fruit & vegetables and even try to grow your own!

At Green School students care for their organic vegetable gardens and animals they keep!

 

And lucky Green School staff and students have wholesome hot meals provided each day using fresh produce from their organic gardens!!! Check out my lunch below!
