On October 22, 2019 we went to Fort Whyte for our first Outdoor Education session.  Students built forts with logs, created leaf creatures inspired by the story “Leaf Man” by Lois Ehlert and engaged in team building games.  The theme of the day was “Risk Assessment” and making decisions with respect to the environment.

I made a tall tower with big sticks. –Naomi

I liked when we saw a deer. –Grady

We needed to wear hats, boots, jackets, ski pants and mittens to be warm. –Saya

We made a tent fort out of bungee cords, rope, tarps and the trees and we ate our lunch there.  I could not heat my food up. –Bentley

It was fun when we did the activities. –Hannah

My friends and I built big, big forts with big logs. –Evan
