Brightwater SEILC

Brightwater provides opportunities for SPS teachers to extend curricula through meaningful experiences with the land.

@NPWschool Grade 8 Creative Action is @SPSBrightwater engaging in land-based learning! They are exploring traditional connections to land, history, and language at this fall camp. What a great opportunity to build relationships and be out on the land #spslearn @StoonPubSchools

Had a tremendous afternoon @SPSBrightwater with Mr. Lowe’s Science 10 class from Walter Murray Collegiate. Such wonderful leaning opportunities for @StoonPubSchools students on the land.

Check out the cool land-based learning opportunities students from Lawson Heights Elementary School are experiencing: making tipis, drying vegetables, and more! Thank you Traditional Knowledge Keeper Tim Eashappie for sharing your knowledge. https://t.co/DJXPpMMdnd

As long as the sun shines, the grass grows, and the river flows. We are all treaty people. A collaborative art project by King George, Lester B Pearson, Buena Vista, and Lawson Heights. @StoonPubSchools

School at 8:00pm? Yes please! Grade 8’s from @BVYXE spent the evening learning about the stars and the stories they hold, as well as the relationship between science and stories. @StoonPubSchools

[Brightwater SEILC @SPSBrightwater]

Our Fall Gathering camp has been such a joy to host. We are harvesting and preserving, listening to stories, caring for our creek, sleeping in tipis, studying the stars, and building relationships. Amazing way to start the school year @StoonPubSchools

[Brightwater SEILC @SPSBrightwater]

Everyone is busy as bees getting ready for a new school year. Such a privilege to spend the first day back with the inspiring nature-based learning staff from Buena Vista School. @BVYXE @StoonPubSchools

Pre K and Kindergarten students from King George and Princess Alexandra brought their amazing energy and curiosity to Brightwater today. What a special day in the forest ☀️ @StoonPubSchools

“…you have but slumbered here, while these visions did appear”. It was a dreamy day on the land with WMCI grade 9 students as they performed a Midsummer Nights Dream in the riparian forest.🌳🎭🌳 @StoonPubSchools

Board chair @ColleenMacP shares the benefits to students of nature-based learning in the outdoor classroom provided by @Meewasin. A MOU being signed today will enhance a long-standing relationship between @Meewasin, @StoonPubSchools and @GSCSNews #spslearn
