Our Trip to the Valley: P.M. Class

Despite a light drizzle, the afternoon class made it down to the local valley to look for signs of fall. We enjoyed looking at the beautifully coloured trees on our hike up and down a large hill. While in the valley, we explored fall colours through a matching activity, ate snack, played some running games and discussed how our senses let us know it was fall.    



One of the most exciting parts of our trip was being visited by a deer!



On our way back to school we stopped to have a look at the Don River. 






We had a great time down in the valley. Thank you to our parent volunteers. We couldn't have done it without you! The morning class' trip to the valley has been rescheduled to Monday, October 29.

At Home: The valley is a great place in the immediate community to visit after school, on weekends and during school holidays. Talk to your child about what they are seeing and encourage them to ask questions about their observations and discuss their theories. (How did the leaves turn orange?)
