The Child Within Us

Salve! Yassou!

     Those are Latin and Greek for hello, respectively—and hello indeed. Welcoming you warmly to our blog with the languages of Science is the energetic and occasionally frightening Ayie, the completely frightening and cheerful Nica, our English teacher’s loveable rabbit Moshe, and last but not least, the gleeful writer and ferocious debater Andy.

     And now that we’ve had a few words of introduction, we’d like to move on to answer the big questions—“What’s the point of this blog?”, “Why bother?”, “How on earth does this concern me?”



     Well, we mean to celebrate something with this blog. Something resonant with all of us— we mean to celebrate and nurture our childhoods. “Childhoods?!” you ask. “What do those have to do with this?” Childhood is, well-agreed to be, the best time of life. A time of wide-eyed innocence, curiosity and above all wonder at this magnificent and exciting world around us.

     And that is where Science comes in. There is still a child in all of us, the same child who once asked "Why is the sky blue?", and although that child’s questions may change and grow bigger, more complex, the simple awe and curiosity remains. The Lord’s creation is truly wonderful, and a hunger to learn more about it comes naturally. Science provides us the means to feed that hunger, and we hope that you join us as we nurture our inner children while documenting our final months in Science class.
