Today we decided to take on the huge task of the head of the cow. We knew what we needed to do, but it was more difficult then first anticipated. Everyone got involved and we managed to pull off the enormous task of spraying our hands onto the head of the cow. Why did we chose to spray our hands on the head of the cow? The cow is looking forward, to the future, and we know that the future is in our hands.

We talked at length about what the solution to ongoing drought could be. A big question with no single answer. Our teacher directed us to a site called Climate Wise Agriculture. This site has been developed by Young Farming Champion Anika Molesworth. What a champion she is! This site extended our thinking around Climate Change, the drought and the complex issues that surrounded it.
We decided it takes COURAGE to be a farmer. It takes COURAGE to stand up against climate change. It takes COURAGE to bring about change in a nation. At Youth Off The Streets courage is a big part of what we are about. As mentioned in previous blogs, the circle of courage is the model we use as a school and organisation. It takes courage for us to change our lives. It takes courage for us to come to school everyday. It takes courage for us to chose education. So we have taken the letters of courage and turned them into our solution. Chelsea took the class brainstorm and turned it into the following. This will become a significant part of our cow. Well, it is time to put our ideas into action. Now we don't want to divulge too much information about where this is going (because to be honest we are getting new ideas everyday!), but our archi will focus on the complex interconnection between Climate Change and Healthy Communities. I wonder if you can begin to make out some of the ideas we have from the pictures below! A massive thank you to Jasmine, one of our team members, for being the queen of colour mixing.
