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 interconnection of our local environment to the flora and fauna that support it. 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.
