We had a fantastic morning at the Nature Centre today. I just can't believe how much we learned, and of course the kids had tons of fun!
A big thank you to our parent volunteers who were so very attentive and helpful, and to all the parents who offered their time but weren't able to join us this time.
A HUGE Bravo to ALL the students for being good sports, participating and following the nature centre and safety rules. It was a very successful trip!
Bravo tout le monde!
Things to ask about:
- Who is Houdini the Red-eared Slider?
- What animals live in High Park?
- What are Mighty Migrators?
- What are Hibernators?
- What are Tough Guys?
- Do chipmunks sleep all winter, or take cat-naps?
- What do Sumac berries and Hemlock needles taste like?
- What is the English word for a squirrel nest? Why do squirrels make so many nests?
- What was the game with the birds? Is it natural for there to be more hawks or more blue jays?
- What animals did you see today?
Here are some pictures to enjoy! Also, check out the December Dewson Newsletter (on the Dewson Blog), three of our students contributed an article!
The following is a thank you card we received from my grandpa after he read the postcards some of us wrote on Remembrance Day. I think it's very touching.
