Gr. 4 to 8 Nature Inquiry Series

Service Description

Our Progressive 8 Week Nature Journaling Program is thoughtfully designed for students in Grades 4 to 8, with each workshop carefully aligned to developmental stages and Ontario Curriculum expectations. Through guided nature journaling, drawing, writing, inquiry, and reflection, students gradually build and strengthen their skills week by week. Each session introduces a new focus, allowing students to steadily expand their observational abilities, scientific thinking, and creative expression. The program integrates Science, Mathematics, Language, Visual Arts, Social Studies, and Geography, offering a rich cross curricular experience rooted in exploration and curiosity. As the program progresses, students deepen their understanding of environmental systems and their role within them. The 8 week journey culminates in a meaningful stewardship project that is completed in collaboration with the classroom teacher. A follow up sharing session with the facilitator will take place at a later date, either virtually through Zoom or in person, to celebrate student learning and reflection. This final experience encourages leadership, accountability, and real world impact. These workshops foster a lasting connection to nature while nurturing wonder, mindfulness, and creativity. Students leave with the confidence and tools to continue nature journaling independently. All programs are aligned with the Ontario Curriculum. Programs starting at $1800 plus tax per class for up to 30 students. Mileage fees apply for schools located more than 50 km from our home base. Discounts available for multiple class bookings.
