Last day at Outdoor School

One of the nicest parts of Outdoor School is getting to spend time with the children in our own class as well as other Gr. 3 classes.  Meeting kids from other schools is also enriching; we made many new friends from Upper Lynn. 

Today, we were TIRED. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our last DELICIOUS breakfast and lunch, and our final field study. Thank you, Ms Schnetzler, for signing us up to teach the farm. WE GOT TO BE WITH THE CHICKENS!!!

Aren't they exquisite?

Three huge pugs live at the farm: Capital, Miss Piggy, and Wilbur.  

Goats galore!

Up in the farm lab, we held incubated eggs in front of a light (called candling) to see their progress. A translucent egg means no chick is growing. We found one that clearly had a chick inside it. We hoped it would hatch today, but alas, it didn't. 

Look at this interesting collection of eggs. The hens that laid them are no doubt spectacular. 

With a couple of moments to spare at the end, we played "Chick Chick Hen", our version of Duck Duck Goose.  (FYI, my camp name was Fancy Fowl.)

Getting ready to go after lunch:

We had a magical time at that magical place, our Iutdoor School. Thank you to our dear students for creating so many special memories.
