Year 3 and Jane Goodall’s Legacy

Tuesday 21 October 2025

This week, our class was deeply inspired by the amazing work and message of Dr. Jane Goodall, who sadly passed away recently. We watched a video of her final words to the world, where she reminded everyone that we must never lose hope because if we lose hope, we have already lost.

Jane spoke about how every action matters, no matter how small it might seem. Even the tiniest act of kindness towards our planet can make a difference. We discussed how, although there are many sad things happening in the world, we can all be part of the change.

Feeling inspired, we decided to take action in our own school community. Together, we are replanting and rebuilding our flowerbeds and plantpots, creating a happy home for our mini-beasts and a calm, peaceful space for us to enjoy.

When we dug up our garden bed, we discovered some interesting surprises, including an old brick and a large twisted root that looked just like antlers.

Jane Goodall taught us that hope starts with action, and we’re proud to be following in her footsteps, one small act at a time.

Watch this space as we take on this gardening challenge to create something beautiful, all thanks to Jane’s inspiring words.
