Our student teachers, Minji and Danielle, have started a new unit that is all about the forests! Here are some pictures of the first few weeks of learning we've embarked on.
As part of the forest unit the students have all chosen a tree from Sunnyside Park to adopt. Over the first few weeks we have sketched, measured and learned about the science behind our trees.
Division 3 and Division 4 created a collaborative mural in each classroom.

DIVISION 4'S MURAL
The students worked in small groups to create posters that explained why trees are important. Here are a few of the students' posters.
Tree posters illustrating tree parts and their importance.
The students learned all about what goes in and what comes out of the leaves during the process of photosynthesis.
We are also learning about the animals that live tin the forest. Here are some nests and the animals that live in them.
We also learned all about one of our furry forest buddies, the raccoon. Take a look!
We hope you've learned something from our wonderful students about the forest and we hope to share much more about their learning in the coming weeks.
