​This Spring, Kindergarten students at O.M. Irwin School learned about the life cycle of chickens. During this inquiry unit, a hen from Mrs. Dyck's farm visited the classroom and the students hatched eggs in an incubator and used an ovoscope to see inside the eggs. All 7 eggs hatched! Students had wonderful questions and used what they learned to write about the chicks after they hatched. It was an "eggciting" time in the classroom!

​Before the Sidney Street School Prekindergarten class went on our Spring walk, we borrowed the worms, pupa, and beetles from the Gr 2's. We discussed these stages and how it was one sign of Spring. On our walk, we found green grass, budding trees, a cat, ants, a robin, tulip leaves and dandelions. We've been talking about how to protect the earth and the students made things out of recycled materials and planted beans. We also donated our scrap apples to the Gr 2 class for their project!

​Prekindergarten students at Central School experience learning through play and exploration in a variety of settings. In the Outdoor Classroom, they engage in physical activity using bouncy balls and imaginative play with activities such as "mixing ice cream". In the classroom, the students try loose part play and practice fine motor development through play.
