We had such a wonderful and memorable month!
We celebrated two new friends, Olivia and Noah, with the Stepping Stone Ceremony, welcoming them into the Buffalo family. We also enjoyed a fun Camping Day, where we listened to music, told stories, and spent time together in our tent. On top of that, we joined children from across the centre for our Pride Month Happy Parade, celebrating diversity, inclusion, and community.
July brings one of the children’s favorite experiences: Forest School!!! bWe also welcomed our summer students, Tierra and Rielle and as well as Nafisa, who will be our summer support educators during Forest School to ensure that we enjoy our time in the forest safely! Throughout the month, we will explore and learn in nature, taking time to appreciate the beauty, wonder, and peaceful moments that the natural world offers. We will be spending the entire day outdoors, which strenghtens our confidence, curiosity, and expands our creativity throughout our nature exploration.
We will also be participating in Urban Forest School at Fort Rouge Park. The Buffaloes often say, “The park is so much fun, I wish we could play here all day!” Well, now their wish is coming true! We have planned a variety of nature-based activities to ensure that each day is filled with exploration, learning, and joy.
Our outdoor adventures took us to several different parks, where we dug for treasure, observed unexpected bugs and worms, and explored the natural world around us.
We also visited the backyard at Small Mercies, where we had the opportunity to closely observe a variety of plants and owl sculptures. Thank you to Small Mercies for having us!
Other highlights included picnics in the park and even enjoying walks in the rain. It truly was a perfect start to summer and we can't wait for more!
