Today was the day we built and planted our first pollinator gardens @oodps1 Eco team did a wonderful job planting all the plants and 4-1 & 7-2 prepped the beds for plants 😄 Thank you to all who made this a reality! We’re excited to watch our garden grow 🌷🦋 @misstgill

Check out our new herb garden at @oodps1 This connects to UN SDG 13 life on land, and 2 No Hunger as families can access these herbs for their cooking! Shout out to @Ms_Lynch__ for taking the lead and planning this awesome project for Eco Team 💚🌱 @HaltonDSB

Glad to see our pollinator garden from last year survived the winter! Eco Team created this last year to support pollinators in the area. This connects to SDG goal 15: Life on Land @oodps1 @Ms_Lynch__

Check out our “microforest” project on Our Canada Project- a nationwide initiative to incorporate the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals in action @oodps1 @HaltonDSB @OCP_PNC ourcanadaproject.ca/place/native-s…

Team work makes the dream work! Thank you to all our student helpers who helped dig holes and plant 11 native specie shrubs at @oodps1 We hope our new plants provide habitats for local species to thrive in and look forward to watching them grow! Shout out to @LSF_LST for funds

I’m thankful to be part of a learning opportunity related to outdoor education and embedding United Nations Sustainability Goals with curriculum Today’s focus: getting outdoors and using letting the place around you guide learning 🌎 @HaltonDSB

Hey Oodenawi! We have partnered with @TerraCycle and will now be recycling @GoGosqueeZ pouches and caps at our school! Please place these in the new GoGoSqueez recycling boxes in your classrooms instead of throwing them in the garbage ♻️ @EcoSchoolsCAN

Our eco team had the pleasure of learning about maple trees as they got planted at @oodps1 Proceeds from our Dance-A-Thon will be used towards “funding our Forrest.” Donations can be made on School Cash

Trying out something new for the rest of the school year … teacher Instagram! Follow along there if you’d like to stay updated :) some posts will be on both platforms.

Today our Eco Team planted flower seeds for our existing gardens and herb seeds for our soon to be community herb garden! Way to grow ecolets 🌱🦅 @Ms_Lynch__ @oodps1 @EcoSchoolsCAN

The grade 5’s from 4/5-1, 5/6-1 and some from our OOD Life skills participated in a series of mad science workshops today! We had so much fun exploring dry ice, making our own bouncy balls (to be bounced tomorrow!!), and growing crystals!

4/5-1 spread some ❤️ on Valentine’s Day. What do you ❤️ about @oodps1 ?

We started our multiplication stations in 4/5-1 today! Lots of fun and giggles in math = great learning 😄

Grade 4’s @oodps1 went on a field trip to RBG’s Arboretum yesterday! We learned all about rocks and minerals and did some outdoor art. The sun even came out for us for a little bit ☀️☀️

Grade 5’s in 4/5-1 finished their egg experiment this week! We observed shell changes in the egg in Coke and vinegar. We also observed changes in the yolk (after a messy break) of the vinegar egg…it could be held in a hand!
