Park Days!

It looks like we’ll have some lovely weather for our first park days. We’ll meet at the picnic shelter for drop off and pick up. These first days, we’ll be learning about being safe in the park and what to do if you get separated from the group, or encounter a loose dog, horses or wildlife. The main message to students is to stay with the group.

Last week, students enjoyed building log cabins, making the colour orange and running for Terry Fox.

Hurray! Everyone graduated through gradual entry! The schedule is exhausting but we did it. We can now dive into some curriculum and get into routine.

So far, students are enjoying hands-on activities like art and blocks.PXL_20250904_175620453

Pro-tip for outdoor clothing: Water-resistant hiking shoes are great for our community walking days, since we’ll be walking mostly on sidewalks but also visiting grass fields that can be wet in the mornings. Rubber boots are great for  really rainy days but can often rub little ankles on long walks.

The week ahead: September 15-19

Indoor shoes that stay at school are needed asap! Thank you.
