Friday Feeling | Nature, Love and Learning – The Ottawa Catholic School Board

For this week’s #ocsbFridayFeeling, students and educators delved into Black History Month and learned that love comes in different colours. Great lessons took place outdoors, as well as interesting chemistry experiments with some reading, writing and arithmetic sprinkled in for good measure.

Our @StMaryOCSB Chickadees were out checking on their bird feeders today hoping to spy a Chickadee. #ocsboutdoors #ocsbkinder #ocsbScience #ocsbeco #birdwatching pic.twitter.com/tCL4NFMCtF

Today our 4/5 class took advantage of the sunshine and used our outdoor Ed space, to observe the changes in states of matter in real time!

We focused on the unique properties of water. Observing water in all 3 states today. @StBrigidOCSB @OttCatholicSB #STEMeducation pic.twitter.com/S7VKyGNmb7

I love how Ss choose contact with a tree or the snow when I send them to pick a spot to do their 5 min of mindfulness. Such a beautiful day outside, evocating all the changes in nature over winter and the mental health benefits of #natureforall #ocsbscience @StPeterOCSB pic.twitter.com/kn1PuXD39Z
