Outings

After they learned the science of water treatment , our students had the chance to visit “the water factory” in the city of Grez-Doiceau. There , the journey a glass of water takes to reach our bellies in the cleanest possible form was explained. After the technological process, the children became more aware of how important it is for all of us to pay attention how much water we all use daily. Time passed like a summer rain.

All of us went for the first time to a wall climbing gym. The image the stuck to our souls was the one where, at the end , all the children were standing at the base of the wall, united in a single good direction: Upward.  As many gazes as there were children looking at the same summit. May all our hearts look upward!

At the end of the week, our teachers decided to offer our students an unforgettable day in the Leuven Botanical Gardens. Arriving in the garden, they partook not only in lessons about plants and trees but also about colors. The observed how the green of most trees from the temperate-oceanic region is slowly transformed into warm colors, from yellow  toward orange. They were attracted by various small and delicate waterlilies from a lake full of fish and enchanted by the smell of multiple rose species mixed with  the scent of various ripe grapes. All ended in with game with leaves and many, many flowers gathered for the herbarium of their souls.
