The Love for Nature

At the Club, our chidren learn to care for the environment, plants and animals.
We try to make them more aware of the beauty of Nature.
Last month our children have tasted Sugar Cane, after they saw how it needs to be prepared. 
Once in while, they are having their snack outside in the garden : that is our Picnic Activity, they all love it!
