We went to Mrs. MacPhee's Farm on a a bus. First we went over rules for the day. Next we had a pumpkin hunt.
Then we divided into groups and went to stations. One station was leaves. We read a story, hunted for leaves and then made a leaf man. At another station we collected seeds and sorted them. At the third station we picked vegetables for stone soup and then made a veggie creature. We learned that we eat all the parts of some plants - roots, stems, leaves, seeds, fruit, and flowers.
At recess we climbed the fallen tree, played in the old chicken coop and squirrel cottage. Other kids ran in the forest and pretended to be lost. There was also a steering wheel to drive, and musical instruments made from pots, pans and tools to play. We saw a dragon and a little house called Nelson's Nook. There were creatures made of wood in the forest and an elephant made of dirt. There were lots of trails to run on. We had a fun day and learned a lot. We loved being outside in nature. We were kind to others, too.
