Grade 1 students at York Street were fortunate to attend six seasons of Forest School at MacSkimming Outdoor Education Centre and two seasons of Nearby Nature at MacDonald Gardens Park. These hands-on, nature-based programs provided the students with unique opportunities to connect with the natural world. Through these experiences, students developed a deep appreciation for nature, built confidence through outdoor exploration, and enhanced their teamwork and problem-solving skills. The programs also fostered creativity and physical activity, contributing to the students' overall well-being and personal growth.
