🌳 Happy National Tree Day, Canada! Today,our kindergarteners celebrated by embarking on an exciting tree hunt! We also read “Picture a Tree"by Barbara Reid, which inspired us to visualize and draw our own trees. It was a day filled with creativity and discovery! @dsbn @ParkScho2

Ms. Knevel, Ms. Deakin,& 3 students received a grant at the LSF Youth Forum in Toronto. With the grant, we're making local learning a breeze! Our schoolyard now boasts two wagons filled with supplies, unlocking endless outdoor learning adventures for our students. @GainsboroughPS

Embracing the sunshine and perfect weather to hone our lacrosse skills today! Did you know #lacrosse originated as a game played by the First Nations peoples, it was a way to resolve conflicts, celebrate victories, and honour the Creator. @GainsboroughPS @dsbn

Exploring the great outdoors with a side of math! 🌿📏 Today, we’re measuring the area and perimeter of 4 square game courts using metres. Who said math can’t be fun and adventurous? #OutdoorMath #ExploringNature #MathIsEverywhere #eqaoprep @GainsboroughPS @dsbn @DSBNOutdoorED

Bill Gates, at COP 28: "The issue of food systems and how with climate change, a lot of farmers aren't able to grow their crops, which is a tragedy for them. We'll talk about using innovation to absolutely solve that problem." Globalist doublespeak translation: Due to our deliberate war on agriculture, a lot of farmers aren't able to grow their crops, which is a blessing for us because it allows us to replace traditional agriculture with insect farms and fake meat laboratories, in order to assume absolute control of the global food supply, under the guise of "saving the planet".

Earth Week ended strong in our community! Families came together to decorate pots and plant seeds from our local seed library. Learning about bees and honey was enlightening, and thanks to Copernicus, we got free coniferous trees to plant. @GainsboroughPS @dsbn @DSBNOutdoorED

Penning letters to the Once-ler from The Lorax, channeling our inner truffula trees! Using reused gift tissue paper and sticks, we created a forest of truffula trees, each pleading to spare our habitat. Art meets activism in this eco-friendly display. @GainsboroughPS @dsbn

A glimpse at Earth Day across the DSBN! 🌤️🌱🌸💦 Thank you to all staff and students at our schools who showed our planet some love yesterday! 🌎❤️

Celebrate #EarthWeek with nature-inspired haikus! Let’s craft poems capturing the beauty of gentle breezes, blooming flowers, and whispers of forests. April is Poetry Month–let’s honour Earth through creativity! Share your haikus below. @GainsboroughPS @DSBNOutdoorED @dsbn

Celebrating #EarthDay at school! Planted lettuce, sunflowers, canna lilies, and checked on our daffodils from fall. Promised to protect our planet. Joined a DSBN Live webinar. Perfect day for outdoor learning and play! @GainsboroughPS @DSBNOutdoorED

Yesterday, our grade 3 and 4 students crafted bird nests from natural materials. Today, we put them to the test against gravity, wind forces and tested if they could hold a load. The results? Impressive structures standing strong. @GainsboroughPS @DSBNOutdoorED

Witnessing a killdeer protecting its nest inspired us to support safe havens for our feathered friends. @BirdsCanada_ON

Today, we dived into the world of birds and their incredible nests. Using natural materials, our young builders crafted nests focusing on strength & stability. @GainsboroughPS instagram.com/reel/C5y58kzx7…

Feeling inspired after 3 days at the UNESCO/LSF Youth Conference in Toronto! Collaborating with students from across Canada was incredible. Special shoutout to our Grade 7 students for their enthusiasm! instagram.com/reel/C5owNSQRy… @GainsboroughPS @LSF_LST @UNESCO @DSBNOutdoorED

@GainsboroughPS is partnering with @station1coffee to collect solar eclipse glasses. The glasses will be shipped to Latin America so that students and children can watch the next eclipse If you would like to donate your solar eclipse glasses, please bring them in to the office.

@0neWalker @ColleenFast1 @DSBNOutdoorED You all did a great job! Thank you!

We kicked off Earth Month this week by running some activities for the EcoSchool days at the Walker Living Campus of @DSBNOutdoorED ! We educated students from across the Niagara region on the full lifecycle of food and the importance of composting. The first workshop on Apr 2 happened to fall on the 10-year anniversary of the ground-breaking of this incredible campus that provides amazing opportunities for outdoor and environmental education for students. With two sessions completed and one more to go, we're excited to encourage youth to discover, explore, learn and play more in nature. Stay tuned for more exciting updates from our hardworking team during Earth Month! 🌱☀🌳 . . . #DSBNWalkerLivingCampus #ecoschool #EarthMonth #compost #foodcycle #education #environment #SustainableFuture

Hiking adventure today: naming wild edibles! Remember, safety first! Always positively identify plants before tasting, and stick to known edibles until you're confident. Happy foraging and stay safe out there! #Foraging #WildEdibles
