It's a busy time in the forest, we are having a lot of visitors. We now have a BECE student coming to the woods for the next six weeks. Maddie will be a nice addition. On the 31st we will be hosting a forest school experience/workshop for a BECE class. In a few weeks we will be inviting a few indigenous highschool students to have a campfire with us. They have come every year to share their culture,music and dance with us. It is a highlight. We have also been visitted by parents of future kinders. They are coming to see what we do both in the classroom and the forest. We love to welcome people to the philosophy of forest school. The children were using tools, balancing on rocks and logs. We saw a deer while we hiked to camp. Later we went to the lake. The water levels are low and there are lots of geese Written by S Robitaille

We went to camp our first day to see our fort had been taken part way down. The adults checked for safety and removed any loose branches. The children and adults rebuilt the fort and made some changes. Now there are two doors. The children did a little tree climbing too. The wind was very cold after having many warm days. Our hands were cold. On Friday the wind chill kept the other classes inside, but not us. We decided to go on an adventure and see the lake and broken car.
When we arrived at the lake we noticed the island was Humongous. We found there is a pond on the island when the water levels are low. (We did discuss the safety items when on the island. No toes in the water & watch the level changes) There were many new large rocks exposed ready for the climbing. The edges of the lake were frozen. JW pretended a boulder was a rocket and we traveled to space looking for aliens. M,L & J were treasure hunting. Mr found a tire in mud where the water once flowed. How did it get there? Too bad we can't take it out. By S Robitaille |
