Adventure Afternoons Part 1

In order to prepare for our Outdoor Challenge in June, we are going on a series of Adventure Afternoons. Today's adventure was to the Adventure Playground at Discovery Children's Centre.

Stevenson School is very fortunate to have a wonderful relationship with the awesome educators at Discovery who have extended an open invitation for us to use their outdoor learning spaces.

Today Mrs. Crockett and Ms. Cottrell even came to help us get ready and walk over. Once we got to Discovery they explained the boundaries and a couple of rules and we were off to play.

It was awesome to see the children working together to move heavy objects, coming up with detailed stories and scenarios using their imaginations, digging in the sand with spades and shovels, and creating teams to play soccer. Not a single child complained about being wet, cold, or dirty. They were far too busy playing and having fun. I was so proud of their teamwork and determination! - Mrs. Lowe
