Friday Feeling | Embracing the summer vibe – The Ottawa Catholic School Board

For this week’s #ocsbFridayFeeling, the approaching summer was clearly in the air. Educators provided students with many opportunities to play in the sand, work in schoolyard gardens, sample tasty freshly grown lettuce, make lemonade, go on bird-watching adventures and discover creatures in trees. With favourable weather, summer play days were in full swing throughout the week.

We spent the day weeding and planting in the #ocsbOutdoors with Brett Weddle from @GUOottawa! Grade 5 Ss @StDominicOCSB helped maintain our revitalized school gardens. We can’t wait for our upcoming harvest🌻 @EcoSchoolsCAN #ocsbScience @ocsbEco #ocsbGardens #ocsbEL 🌱 pic.twitter.com/5j1rfLxbnJ

Today we cleaned our lettuce in the salad spinner and enjoyed a “green feast”. Hearing children chant “more lettuce! More lettuce!” was music to my ears! @StRitaOCSB @ocsbEco #classroomgarden @OttCatholicSB @ONFE_ROPE pic.twitter.com/G1p0g3A5lo

This morning we did a writing activity about lemonade then went inside to make some! We made a few different kinds- lemonade from scratch, Limeade, and pink lemonade from a mix. Pink lemonade was the favourite! 🍋 Students then enjoyed delivering lemonade around @LBPearsonOCSB pic.twitter.com/FDJCor34wM
