Week 10 - Outdoor Education 110/120

Well it is our last week of Home Learning for Outdoor Ed. This week provides you with an exciting opportunity to attempt the bow drill. While challenging, and at times frustrating, it is a perfect way to end the school year. See the document below for a detailed example with embedded Youtube clips from Mr. MacKinnon that will help you create fire from just a string and and bow. Please document your attempts with video and send them in to my email. I would love to see you try this!  

Thanks and have a great week!

Week 2 - Outdoor Education 110/120

Hope everyone had a great Easter Break. This week we have a two part activity to challenge us with. April 15-17 you will begin a litle research.  I would ask that you take a look at the Scavenger Hunt list on the attachment and ensure you know what each item is on the list.

As for the animals I will leave that up to you to navigate.
