Outdoor Learning at Colchester North Public School

One of our learning focuses for this school year is to build upon the children's interest in outdoor learning.  Over the past week at school, the children were extremely excited about the many grasshoppers they found outside on the playground.  We are working together to develop a list of questions and "I wonder" statements about grasshoppers.  We are going to use this list to further our learning and understanding of this interesting insect.  Take a look at our friends enjoying some beautiful September outdoor learning time!

Working with Mrs. Allan to collect some grasshoppers to bring in to the classroom for a little further observation.  We made sure to release the grasshoppers to the outdoors at the end of the day.
