The lockdown that started after the holidays has required us to adapt our teaching methods and come up with creative new approaches to making the connections our students expect from a typical day at The Nature School.

A stick is the ultimate, ever-changing child’s toy. When we give kids the proper techniques to safely play with a stick, their imaginations will run wild, and that stick can become anything from a magic wand to a tool for learning math!

This time of year is always exciting! The fall colours are out, and we are starting to see big changes in the forest. Students at The Nature School are learning about the changing seasons, exploring the different types of trees, collecting nature’s treasures, creating their own works of art, and more.

When there is fresh snow on the ground, The Nature School Primary students arrive to our outdoor classroom with a renewed sense of excitement and wonder. What will we make? What will we build? How will we play?
