Neighbourhood Nature School
Welcome to the Neighbourhood Nature School
This online education portal is for students from Kindergarten to Grade 7 to develop a better understanding of Ecological Literacy, the awareness to the interconnection of our symbiotic relationships and understanding of the local environment and ecosystems that support us. Students will delve into lessons on organic gardening and our local food systems, through observations and curiosity.
A variety of lessons and activities will be added to this page and to our Instagram page. Students and families can collaboratively learn together while learning at home, exploring their backyard and neighbourhood.
This content is combined with the free resource Green Thumbs at School: Food Garden Lesson Book
