Walk to Bowness Park

We took our very first field trip on Wednesday, September 16th.  During this outing we had many different tasks that we worked on.  The first one was a scavenger hunt to find different things in nature.  It was interesting to see how the different groups completed this task.  In the morning we worked with grade one/two students and in the afternoon we did this on our own.

The next part was to complete different books that talked about the senses that we were using as we explored the park.  What could we see, hear, touch and smell.  Some of the students said they could hear the wind and children screaming they could see trees, clouds, airplanes, ducks and smell grass and my hair.

Drawing what he can see while sitting on the grass.

Starting the senses books on the picnic table as a big group.

After completing the books to the best they could they were sent on a collection journey.  We are working on trying our best and being okay with that.  I will often say,  "Try your best"  and "It is okay to make mistakes.  That helps us to learn."  They collected different objects they found in nature.  Everyone had a ton of fun.  Thank you to all the volunteers that joined us and made the trip possible.
