Our last morning at Island School woke us up with the scent of warm french toast and sweet maple syrup.  Students are in their last rotation for outdoor science education programs, enjoying the sun shining and wearing fewer layers of sweaters.


 

 

 

 

 

Wednesday, April 16, 2014

Our third day at Island School was welcomed with the sun shining and birds chirping.  During the mini olympics students demonstrated cooperation, endurance and a good sense of humour while they competed for top points for their clan. 


 

 

 

 

Tuesday, April 15, 2014


Our second day at Island School was welcomed with a fresh blanket of snow and a gentle cold breeze. The chickadees were out this morning; and several students were about collecting sap to boil for a new batch of maple syrup.  Students are out in full force taking part in 'predator & prey' activities.

Our first day at Island School has been filled with rain and a chill in the air, but also wonderful learning of the science behind understanding the importance of protecting our environment.

A big thank you to Tanya our guest poet and The League of Canadian Poets for funding today's workshop.  Tanya expertise as a spoken word poet allowed room 301 and 308 to see themselves as poets who can use their everyday experience to express themselves.
