Wee Walk - FAS M/W/F AM & PM Classes

The sun gods were watching over us on Wednesday April 18th as we ventured out of our classroom to embark on our Wee Walk. 

To make our walk more interesting we decided to do a little scavenger hunt along the way.  Our mission was to find a blue car, a tree with pink or red flowers or leaves, a grey squirrel, a baby stroller and some pine cones. 

We were successful in finding all of the items except for the grey squirrel.  We did however spot a black squirrel so I’m going to call it a win!  The children were all so excited to explore a different environment and participate in the scavenger hunt. 

However, I believe that the highlight of the walk was stumbling over this tree with a face on it.  Some children were so perplexed as to how the tree had a face and others just giggled and thought that it was the neatest thing. 

Everyone was such troopers that we finished before expected, so to burn off the rest of our energy we decided to play a game of tag in the soccer field.  All in all I’d say it was a very successful Wee Walk.




Until next time

The River - 4 Hour Class

We went out to the park to play and something caught our eyes. There was something new and different. One of the paths in the park was flooded with water. The children quickly gravitated towards it and decided to walk in the water. Chloe said that they were crossing a river. Andrew noted that they can walk in the water because they are wearing their boots. Sara replied with “our feet won't get wet”. Adonis was watching the other children walk in the water. I knew how badly he wanted to do it as well. But he was not wearing his boots. He went around the playground and saw a big branch and started dragging it. I wondered what he would do with the branch.       Adonis brought it to “the river” and started tossing it in the water. Alvis saw what he was doing and quickly joined in. Adonis threw the branch in the water and Alvis got it in “the river” for him. Alvis was wearing his boots so he was able to be in “the river”. They speculated about the size of the splash on

Oil, Water & Food Colouring - 4 Year Old Class

The children experimented with oil, water, food colouring and pipettes this morning. They squeezed drops of coloured water into a layer of oil and were engaged for a very long while. This is a simple activity with an intriguing effect.  Irena gently and carefully shook the tray back and forth, blending colours.   Roan watched a small drop rolling up and down the pipette.   Daniel said “The circle drop is getting bigger and darker. It's dark green and red and purple.”   Charlie seemed intrigued while watching water move up and down the pipette as he squeezes the bottom. Lucas thoughtfully puts the strips of paper from a weaving activity in order, and then begins threading the strips through. A very time consuming activity.     While Lucas was having snack, Tiffany and Cara decide to take over where he left off. Lucas comes over to check out the progress. Lucas, while looking at the completed activity said “Cool, the g
