As an early celebration of World Book Day, Dress Down Friday became “Pyjama Day” this month as we all donned our finest night attire to raise money for Provo Children’s Home. As a special treat, we ended the day with story time courtesy of Mr. David Bowen and his drum. We settled down with our pillows and cuddly toys to hear the story of two boys who found a barrel of delicious coconut water on their way to the well. They certainly learned their lesson when one of the boys drank too much and made himself very sick indeed! The moral of the tale? “Be smart and be good!” The boys in the story definitely had a thing or two to learn on that score!Mr. David then told us that 1 billion people on the earth don’t have access to clean drinking water. That’s a seventh of the earth’s population! Lots of people also have to walk a long way to collect water from a well, just like Mr. David did when he was a child. It’s very hard work as we found out from the song he taught us – “Got a Bucket on my Head – Yes Sir, Yes.” March is World Water Month, so we’re going to do our bit to be smart and good with the water we use. Many thanks Mr. David.
