We made foil boats to test buoyancy and wind power! ⛵️💨
When the fountain started filling them, some Kinders chose to redesign while others knew to tip and empty them out.
Amazing hands-on engineering and problem-solving outdoors! ✨

The learning never stops outdoors! Our kinders are exploring a massive array of activities this week—from yoga & skipping to giant marble runs, chalk murals, mud kitchen creations, & magnet walls. Learning, growing, & collaborating in the sunshine! ☀️

What an amazing time at our @StMonicaOCSB Family #ocsbSTEAM Night! Thank you to our incredible @StMonicaPC, staff, and families for making it a playful and memorable evening. Together, we built bridges between home, school and community through @ocsbDL and play! @OttCatholicSB
Outdoor learning was full of inquiry and ingenuity this week! 🌿 The Kinders explored gravity with golf ball marble runs, practiced literacy with "build-a-flower" games, and engineered their own bubble wands. 🫧✨

Painting murals in the sunshine and fresh air! ☀️🎨 Our Kinders are taking their learning to their outdoor classroom to "jazz up" our hallways and bulletin boards with vibrant spring masterpieces.
Check out these budding artists! 🖌️✨

Our Kinders are proud stewards of the Earth! 🌍🧤 Armed with mitts, buckets, and tongs, they worked together to clean up our schoolyard.
Check out those hardworking smiles as they care for our outdoor classroom! ✨🗑️

Spring is in the air!☀️🌱 Our Kinders fully embraced the dryer weather this week in their outdoor classroom.
From sidewalk chalk & mural painting to our mud kitchen & schoolyard cleanup, they’ve been busy exploring, creating & caring for our Earth! 🌍

Our Kinders are giving back to nature! ❄️🐦⬛By freezing evergreen, orange peels, and cranberries into "Ice Ornaments," we’re supporting our local ecosystem and becoming true environmental stewards. A beautiful bridge between seasons!♥️

Our outdoor classroom is a hub of rhythm and art! 🥁 Kinders are exploring sound with bucket drums, mapping movement with rainbow ribbons, and practicing stewardship with ice bird feeders. From symphony to science, we’re learning with the elements! 🌈❄️

Our Kinders had a blast with outdoor learning this week! ❄️ From building snow forts and animal adventures to ice air hockey, the yard was full of magic. A highlight was the watercolour ice painting—it looked just like stained glass in the sun! 🎨✨

Our Kinders were absolute naturals on snowshoes today! They took to the drifts with total confidence and had a blast trekking through the deep snow. Such a fun winter adventure! ❄️💙
#ocsbKinder#ocsbOutdoors
Braving the cold! Our Kinders trekked on snowshoes, built winter shelters for animals, and created snowy dino worlds with giant snowflake builders. Of course, the snow hill & shovels remain a seasonal favourite! ❄️

We are unbelievably proud of our Kinders who led a wonderful Advent Liturgy this morning! Our SKs shone with their readings & everyone who sang/participated was incredible. Thank you families for joining us!🌟

This morning, the Kidners lit the first candle of Advent: Hope (Prophet's Candle). As we begin this season, we joyfully prepare for the arrival of Jesus. May your season be filled with peace and light.💜

Kidner Outdoor Learning was fresh & festive! No stopping us: We built Nativity scenes, crafted musical sticks, engineered Brick-a-Block forts, and created stories with Christmas small world play characters.🌲
What a fun week outdoors! ❄️

Thank you to E’s Mom, a Vet Tech, for today’s visit ! The Ks became mini vet techs, learning about animal anatomy, communication & protective gear. They were hands-on with stethoscopes, bandaging & exploring bones! A thrilling & unforgettable learning experience! 🐾
