Nature Club projects: Fall season is almost over

This season, on Tuesdays we have been having so much fun at our Nature Club. We have been learning so much about how to take care of our planet and why this is important. We’ve been learning a lot about what happens during the fall!

We’ve learned about what happens to trees and animals during fall. Why do trees lose their leaves? Why do some trees never lose them? How are these trees called? Why do some animals leave when it’s starting to get cold? and so many other questions.

On Tuesday October 20th, Polly sent us a tiny letter letting us know that she’s not sad anymore and that she’s actually enjoying this new season. She explained that not all of the animals migrate to different places and that some do stay and that made her very happy.

Polly told us she met a new friend. He is an owl called “Benny the Barrel owl”. Benny told Polly that all of his friends stay in British Columbia. Polly sent us a photo of Benny and we learned a little bit more about this beautiful animal.

We decided to make owls made up from pine cones which we have collected on one of our field trips. Children loved creating their own owls. We made adult owls and baby owls, of course. We loved our owls so much that we decided to make them a house at Buddings and placed it in our Nature Club space. To learn how fall happens and a little bit more about the seasons; we’ve also been using different books that explain it in a fun way what can we find and what can we do during fall season.

Soon the fall season will be over soon and our programs at Buddings will be talking about different winter celebrations around the world starting in December. Polly the fairy sent us one of her last letters today. But before she says: ”see you later!” we still have one more Tuesday at our Big Kids Nature Club before she hibernates.

Well done big kids! See you next Tuesday.
