This Week at School

All the 1/2 Multi-Age children had a wonderful day on Monday creating a "Harvest Display" for our school. As a design project, children were in groups planning, designing and creating scarecrows and shelters. They decided to use at least 5 different materials and had to decide how their scarecrow would hold together. Our class designed 2 scarecrows and 2 shelters to the large display in front of our school. Please watch for the final photo of our finished display next week. Hopefully everything holds together after our snowfall on Friday!

Field Trip To: A-Maze- In- Corn!

Bale Jumping!!

We had a fantastic day at the corn maze! The day started walking through the maze looking for flags of the world. It was nice to have a fire after lunch and roast marshmallows! Each student picked their own pumpkin to take home and got a ride on the pumpkin train. There were so many interesting and unique gourds and pumpkins to admire. Our class was able to experience a sleigh ride and meet the 2 horses after it was over. Everyone enjoyed all the animals. We had so much fun on the pyramid of bales!! Awesome day outside!

This Week at School!

Off to find cattails with our older buddies!

We need to gather the cattails first to make mats.

We read some books about Jackson Pollock.................

............we decided to try his techniques and make our portfolios.

We went on an alphabet nature walk. "I" is for insect trail.

"E" is for eggplants that we grew in our garden.

"H" is for hole!

We explored and looked closely at leaves on our new light table.

Our class was collecting petals and leaves to dry with Mrs. Hlady's class.

WOW! Such vibrant colours!

Gathering and sorting our petals by colour.

Here is the rhubarb we grew and tasted. We discovered our rhubarb was quite
 hard and will need to be picked earlier next year!

Beet leaves we tasted that came from our vegetable garden.

Chopped the vegetables for our soup!

Adding the vegetables to make soup.

How delicious our soup tasted that everyone tried!

Carrot cake that we also made with our carrots!

Icing to top the cake! Our class ate our cake outside after our Terry Fox walk! It was delicious!

Welcome Back!
