Suzy Hughes' 'Vision of a Positive Future'

All prospective Futerra interns are asked to perpare a creative piece under the title, 'Visions of a Positive Future'. Here is Suzy Huges submission.

School Report

Date: 27 May 2058

Name: Paul Pearson

Age: 6

Year 2

History Paul shows an acute interest in learning how humans used to exist in the early part of the 21st Century. He finds it particularly amusing to learn about traffic, domestic flights, long distance transportation of live-stock, plastic bags and the activities of bin men. He also enjoys hearing about old-fashioned illnesses such as asthma and their treatments.

Science Paul is showing he has a natural affinity for biology, learning quickly the names of different variations of vegetables and the conditions suitable for their growth. He shows particular enthusiasm for the practical work in the herb garden and is inventive with ways to utilise the home’s food waste for fertiliser. He is also very caring of the chickens we are rearing and soon he should be able to use this knowledge on your allotment at home, helping also with your livestock.

Home Economics Sewing - His sewing techniques have progressed impressively, this is particularly demonstrated in his mending of the Bags for Life and altering of old clothes into the latest fashions. Cooking – His cooking is improving slowly, his fortnightly educational shift in the school kitchen will soon mean he is producing food which can be given to the other children in their reusable lunch containers.

Sport He is doing exceptionally well at his bicycle lessons, picking up the Highway Code very quickly. I feel confident that he will be able to join in on the cycle route home in the next month, meaning a younger child can take his space on the solar-powered school bus.

Geography He is really enjoying learning about the different cultures from around the world. This is more important now of course due to the reduction in flights after the Government invested all that money into transforming domestic locations.

On a personal note, I very much appreciated your attendance at the parent evening classes. As part of the lost generation it certainly helps for you as parents to be as adept in the environmental practices as the current younger generations.
