Under
the able guidance of our Nature Club teachers Ms. Lydia Vaz and Ms.
Genevieve Ribeiro we learn more about plants and animals. Games, dumb
charades, nature walks, quizzes, newspaper articles, role plays teach
us to care for nature and the uniqueness of God’s creatures. We have
great fun in the Nature Club too. |
