A Perfect Morning ~ Our Fall Field Trip

The children, teachers, parents and grandparents of our little yellow school recently went on a field trip to a local outdoor education centre.

The children had been anticipating this trip for weeks as we would be riding in a school bus!  There was much excitement as we awaited the arrival of the bus.

Waiting For The Bus

The day called for some morning rain and the clouds looked ominous.  By the time the bus arrived, the sky had cleared.

When we arrived at our destination, we made our way over to the barn.

The Barn

Inside the barn, we learned a little bit about pumpkins.  We already knew a lot about pumpkins as we had been learning about pumpkins and the life cycle of a pumpkin at our little yellow school.  Our instructors were very impressed with the children's knowledge and the insightful questions that they asked.

Answering a Question

We learned a new song.

The most amazing thing we learned was that all pumpkins can float!  Did you know that?

In the barn, the children all helped make scarecrows to take back to school with us.  It was fun!

We took a wagon ride through the woods where we saw some beautiful trees.

Our morning came to an end and we walked back to our bus to make the journey back to our little yellow school.

Our scarecrows were also making the journey to school with us.  Once back at school, we placed them by our entrance where they happily greet us each morning.

It was such a perfect morning! Thank you to all the parents and grandparents who joined us.  It wouldn't have been the same without you.
