service/ cas project. teaching rural children.
L2. Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills Initially, it was difficult to get the kids to interact with.

CAS, activity, gardening
LO 2 As far as I remember I hate mud. However I learned to accept getting my hands dirty, after all I could wash them later. Another challenge for me was overwatering the plants at a greater frequency (than required). A batch of my microgreens got ruined due to it. A few days in and […]
