What a chilly, chilly day it was BUT thanks to all of the parents who ensured
that the littles were well dressed in layers, with lovely boots to protect them
from the wet grass, and mittens and toques for warmth, we had a great day!
We started with a type of nature hunt. Here is the sheet that listed what we were to look for.
Later we searched for colours found in nature like..
purple thistles,
brown tree trunks,
yellow leaves,
and orange ones too!
Finding little crawly and flying creatures was a bit harder.
It meant digging under leaves and around roots,
but it paid off!
Thanks to the grandmas, and mamas who came along to help!
We learned a lot about the animals different ways to prepare for winter
during this season of Autumn, including long words such as
hibernation and migration.
Later on we got to hear another interesting lady explain all about
Indigenous peoples of Canada and their life long ago.
She had so many interesting items that we were allowed
to carefully touch like these mittens made from seal skin.
She even let this little guy wear a necklace made with teeth and bones!
Moccasins, breastplate, jingles, beads and deer skin! Wow!
We all got a chance to make a little craft, a fan with feathers.
She taught us some games that were part of the culture and
we got to try them both inside,
and out! Fun!
It was a lovely outing but the kiddos were definitely ready to go home!
