Wonderful Experience at Forest Valley!

On Monday, December 3rd, 2018, our class went to Forest Valley and had a blast with two amazing instructors, Mitchell and Ken.

We were very intrigued by nature and all that it gives us and teaches us. We learned many interactive games from our instructors (e.g., fox and rabbits, mice and hawk, migration game) and were given the task to create an animal habitat using the materials we saw in the forest. We had a mediative session near the Don River and breathed in fresh air for our lungs. 

Thank you ever so much to our three volunteers for attending the trip. Three panther cheers for you!

Check out the pictures to see what your child learned.


We shared our knowledge of what the attributes of living things are. 

Students observed animal fur. 


Students observed various rocks.


Students placed living and non-living things in hula hoops. 




Students walked on a bridge to view the Don River. 




Students discovered that large nests are actually for squirrels and they are called a "dra". 

Students had a warm bottle of water and were asked to use fur and other materials found in the outdoors to build a warm habitat. 

After lunch, we checked the temperature of each water bottle. The highest temperature was from this group ranging 17.5 degrees Celsius. 

Students learned about plant habitats as well.






Small insects called beetles made tunnels in the wood log to navigate. 


We were given a piece of delicious candied syrup to eat. 

We thanked the tree's by hugging them and expressing thank you in the First Nation, Metis, and Inuit language- "miigwech". 

Until next time - A la prochaine!
