Winter has arrived...again. Snow has caused chaos all over the country and it sent the younglings in our school a bit wild too! I think it's still snowing as I write, after a day of snowy showers. The cold is settling back in and so it should all be nice and icy by tomorrow morning.
Having looked at the garden buried under its winter blanket, the thought of filling it with fresh veg and flowers came again in to my mind and so I put a note in to the 'Snify' (the school newsletter) that the Gardening Club will be starting again in March as an after school club. I've invited adults to come along who would be able to help out too. I hope that there will be a few green fingers out there...
Actually, this will be great for people like me who are strong in their 'Naturist' intelligence. On a side note, the Multiple Intelligence Theory is coming to our school in a big way. This theory is that everyone is intelligent (true) but we are not all intelligent in the same way.
This theory was put forward by a guy called Howard Gardener who said that there are many different types of intelligences. These are: Linguistic (words and language); Logical-Mathemetical (numbers and problem solving); Visual-Spatial (visualising things, awareness of space, making models); Bodily-Kinesthetic (movement of the body); Musical (music and rhythm); Interpersonal (relating to other people) and Intrapersonal (awareness of the self). We are all mixtures of these different intelligences.
The Naturist intelligence (relating to nature and the environment) is another that has been added. Just as well, because that's one of my strong intelligences. The numbers one is too, but let's forget that for the moment.
The moral of this writing is: I need to get out in to the garden! Are you going to join me?
