“Quote of the Day” – Handwriting Practice

Sir David Attenborough (1926 -), naturalist and national treasure has been teaching us about the beauty, importance and fragility of the natural world for 55 years. While making his documentaries he has seen the changes caused by global warming and this has encouraged him to make even more programmes to show people the amazing world we could lose if we don’t change our ways.  In 2017, Attenborough famously criticised the Australian government for their cowardly and selfish attitude towards climate change saying that the Australian government, “doesn’t give a damn about the rest of the world.” That was before the bushfires!
