“Quote of the Day” –  Handwriting Practice 

Greta Thunberg (2003 – ) is just 17 years old. In August 2018 when she was just 15 she started her school strike for the environment. She argued that there was no point in going to school if the governments of the world were not working to give us a future. Without a future, there is no point in learning. In just 2 years, she has gained massive support and become the leader of a global movement that is creating real change. Like Pope Francis, Greta Thunberg sees this as an issue of conscience and survival. Our conscience is the part of ourselves which tells us what is right and wrong.

“Young people must hold older generations accountable for the mess they have created.”
