Some beautiful quotes from Earthclass questionnaire.
How does being outside in nature make you feel?
Year 1
Brogan: I feel calm because the birds are twitching and singing and the autumn leaves are changing colour.
Alfred: I feel happy because of the fresh air.
Year 2
Rosanna: really happy and joyful
Isabelle: In the summer I stood with my eyes closed. Just me and the wind. I was being friends with nature.
Teddy: calm and resilient
Cooper: Happy because I like nature a lot. I saw a fox close up and its tracks in the snow. That was my first time.
Year 5
Maria: It makes me feel calm and happy hearing the singing of the birds. If I am near a lake I watch the ripples and the wind in my face makes me feel free.
Myles: Calm and like I connect with nature.
Zhasmin: Happy, creative, sometimes cold, always calm.
Onyi: It makes me feel happy because nature is peaceful.
Year 6
Lucas B: Very relaxed with the beautiful surroundings, scents and people.
Dexter: I enjoy myself in nature and love wildlife and learning about it.
Do you understand how important it is to look after Earth?
Year 5
Ogonna: Yes, because we only have one Earth.
Zara: Yes and I am scared some people don’t.
Year 6

Have you grown to care more for the flora and fauna?
Year 5
Ronnie: Yes, definitely! The more I hear what PEOPLE are doing, the more I care.
Year 6
Luca B: Yes, I have realised how precious the Earth is.
Maisie: Earthclass shows me how important it is to look after Earth.
Are you more appreciative of how nature helps and heals us?
Year 5

Alex: Yes, nature is the key to our lives.
Do you engage more with and protect nature outside school?
