Room 5 & 7 had an amazing morning on our walking field trip to the edge of Fish Creek Park. The students showed great stamina as they walked for over an hour in a two and a half hour span. Our focus was to observe the landscape as well as the colours found. Students began using their field journals, and will continue to use these throughout the year as we go on many outings and field trips. Before departing, we looked at the work of Lyn Baldwin who is a professor and ecologist in British Columbia. We felt inspired by her field journal work. Professor Baldwin states "drawing forces my students to pay attention, to observe"- a statement that I agree with whole heartedly.
We hope to return to this space in our community as we continue to develop our sense of place.
Have a restful evening,
Mrs. Morden
