Each Wednesday we have been participating in ‘nature school’ from 9-10:30. We have had a great time exploring our senses. We’ve participated in a ‘listening walk‘, a ‘looking walk’ (scavenger hunt), and a ‘touching walk’ where we explored the texture of items in nature with paper rubbings and crayons.
The last few weeks we have focused on the changing leaves and signs of fall. Although the weather hasn’t been the best–we are still going out and enjoying ourselves.
Here are a few stories we’ve listened to/watched:
“The Rain Came Down” (We were so quiet while trying to figure out if it was Mr. Seto reading–it wasn’t!)
“Fall Leaves Fall” (We loved her accent!)
This week we did a leaf hunt–looking for these 5 different types of leaves:
- a smooth edged leaf
- a toothed edge leaf
- a lobed leaf
- a needle
- a compound leaf
After collecting the leaves, we used pencils to sketch them. It was a bit wet–but the covered area at the park protected us. What a great day!

Can you go on a leaf hunt in your neighbourhood and find these leaves?
