Taking Learning Outdoors

This morning we had our math session in the shaded areas of our playground. We are learning mapping skills and have been learning about coordinates.  It was fabulous to be outdoors.

While we were there, we reflected on our school environment. Recently we walked around our school and noticed the sights, sounds, and smells. Then we wrote some wonderings about our discoveries. Today we took our ideas further, and identified an area in the school we felt could be modified in order to meet the need of our school community both now and in the future. They took a photo of the area they wanted to adapt and drew their changes on a piece of overlay paper.
