We are trying to visit the woods at least once a month this session for some outdoor learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weather today was drizzle with some windy spells. So it was rain-suits on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

This morning we headed to the woods. We putted on waterproof clothing and went. Leaves were falling down on the way to the woods. Different colours of leaves. When we entered the woods it was muddy, filled with leaves and sticks. We were on a scavenger hunt looking for many different things. We had a list. After a certain point we stopped and had a break. We wrote interesting poems and heard them. They were nice. Near the end we did something about natural disasters. We had to save stick people affected by a flood and make a shelter for them. Then we headed back for lunch and on the way I found a big leaf.<\/p>\nAlexia<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

It was quite muddy and beautiful leaves where falling on the ground and our faces.<\/p>\nLexi<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

As we travelled through the paths we had a bit of a scavenger hunt, this was supposed to lead to making some art at the end of the morning but we ran out of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poems of all sorts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Children<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We stopped at the big rock pile among the oak trees and talked about different forms of poems. This included a couple of types we had not written before. Then the children found some quiet spots and did some writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We gathered back at the rocks and read the poem out as loud as we could over an increasing wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tanka snow
Snow
White soft cold

The woods – acrostic poem<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The woods is a place of beauty
Having fun in all weather sun, rain, snow, rain
Everyone finds one thing to remember about the woods<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With friends or family
Old and young
Old and young in joy it
Days go bye and the woods changes
So go to the woods<\/p>\nJuliet<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Look what I found poem <\/strong>

Sitting on the grass

Tanka
Leaves
Multicoloured, thin, wavy
Sailing off trees
No eyes to see where they\u2019re going<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look at what I found
Look what I found
Moss
Growing and sitting still
On top of old cranky rocks
Will it ever stop?<\/p>\nAlexia<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

Look what I found
Moss
Growing and still
On a old tree
Does the tree like it?<\/p>\nLexi<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Stick People in Danger<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After the poetry session we had some snacks, being careful with our litter then headed over to School Wood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have been learning about Natural Disasters in class, when we got to School Wood we found some tiny stick people who had been flooded out of their homes. The Biggies were challenged to create some shelters the right size. Some of the refugee sticks got together others made solo efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We discussed the features that the class had created to help the sticks have warmth and shelter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

We also built dens for two refugees and we could team up with other people. (The refugees are fake small sticks). Our class built dens for them because a flood hit their homes. We needed to build dens that were flood proof, wind proof, safe, warm and some other things for them. We did all of this in this paragraph because our topic is natural disasters.<\/p>\nGene<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

But the thing I liked the most was building houses for the little people also known as refugees who were in a flood. We did it because our topic was natural disasters.
They were made of wood they were also tiny.
We had to build them a house it was hard I had 4 sticks. I also put-put walls on it and added I fire place, a bed, and an umbrella to keep their fire wood dry.<\/p>\nTony<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
