Vandalism

Today we arrived at school to find all our sunflower and sweet pea seedlings tipped out of their pots and lying in a pile of potting mix on the concrete. Whoever did it had arranged the pots in a smiling face on the dirt. They may have thought it was funny, but it was nothing to smile about for us. 

We work hard to keep the gardens and grounds looking good. We were growing the flowers for people to enjoy, and to feed the bees. 

Because it was a wet weekend, we hope some of the plants will survive, but they are looking broken and forlorn at the moment.

I felt really upset and still do :(.  

The girls repotting the plants in the hope they would survive.


Homework task: In the comments section, please write a letter to the person/ people who did this. 

Use some or all of these questions for ideas to write about.
What must that person be like? Would you like someone who would do that to other people's things to be your friend? Would you be able to trust them? What virtues and cornerstone qualities do you think those people need to learn? If you could tell them one thing to help them show more respect in future, what would it be?

  1. The people who did this should feel really bad.They might have problems and need help.They need to learn the virtue of honesty and come to apologize.One thing they need to do is not to damage other people's stuff.If my friend would do this I would feel guilty.

  12. Why would effect something in a bad way, when it brings joy for a long time and you destroy just just gives you a little pleasure. What you did was just annoying, nothing else.
