Trekking Tuesday!

This Tuesday we went on our first Trek! After discussing safety rules and expectations in the wilderness, we headed down the Lois Creek Trails. We went on a "rainbow walk" which is great for improving mindfulness while outside and helping to get kids to notice things while they walk. It's also an activity that has been recommended through Canada Mental Health as a strategy for reducing anxiety.
We visualized all the colours in the rainbow and then searched for different items in nature as we walked. Once we reached our destination the kids worked in pairs to try and collect small items in each colour. We then put our samples together to create a masterpiece! Check out all the fun we had below!
