Back out in the yard for STEAM, students spent time practising our outdoor learning routines as we launched into our first inquiry on loons. Someone shared a summer loon sighting, curiosity took over, and this seemed the perfect starting point for our new investigations.

When we were out exploring in the yard it led us to a busy line of ants hard at work. Watching them carry food together sparked our curiosity, so we decided to learn a little more about these tiny creatures.

When students were out digging around the Nature Kitchen, they found some pill bugs. We wanted to learn more about these potato, pill, roly-poly creatures.
