Outdoor Time

Today we had a great time outside. We allowed our students to explore and become involved in whatever they found interesting. Take a look at what some of the students engaged in:


Many of the students continue to show an interest in birds and their homes. Ms. Alannah (our student candidate from U of T) is going to do an inquiry about birds.

Some students continued making bird nests with the leaves they found.

 

The students pretending to be birds in their nests.

The "birds" flapping their wings in their nests.

Mommy and Daddy birds bringing food back to their nest.

Some of the birds sleeping in their nests.

Others students made more nests.

 

 

Some students wanted to explore other animals' homes. They made different animal homes in the dirt. 

 

 A few students had fun exploring what happened when they threw leaves up into the air and what happened when the wind blew.

Some students having a race back and forth between the school and the fence. They got so much exercise.

J.M., I.I. and R.G had a camp out. Take a look at their sticks and how they used the colourful leaves! It looks like a real camp out! What imaginations!

M.D. wrote his brother's name in the leaves. So creative!

As you can see, many students explored different things while outside. This is one of the main goals of Full Day Kindergarten: Observing what the students engage in and extending their learning in these areas.
