Outdoor Challenge Day 1

Today we had a special visitor at the park, Barret from Fort Whyte.  He took us on a nature walk around the park and taught us about the different ecosystems and creatures that live there.  He pointed out different insects along the walk as well as different plants, ones that are helpful and ones that are harmful such as poison ivy.  

           

The children were given a hula hoop to throw and see how many different ecosystems they could find just within the circle. 

   

                  

The children came back from their walk buzzing about all of the things that they saw and all of the new things they learned about the park.
