NB Physical Literacy
Le présent atelier vise à aider le personnel de centres de la petite enfance (éducatrices, superviseures, directrices) et les parents à mieux comprendre le développement de la littératie physique chez les jeunes enfants (0 à 5 ans).
A full beaver pond tour is comprised of a nature walk, interactive game about wetlands, and a critter dipping session (where students receive first-hand experience learning about many of the critters we have in the pond, by safely fishing for them with nets). Classes are welcome to each lunch as the pond as picnic tables are provided.
Tourisme et Parcs - N.-B.
Une visite complète à étang de castors constitue une promenade dans la nature, un jeu interactif et une session de trempage de bestioles où les élèves apprennent de première main beaucoup des créatures qui vivent dans l'étang, en les pêchant en toute sécurité avec des filets. Un tour peut se prolonger de 2 à 3 heures, mais la durée dépend en fin de compte de la durée de votre séjour. Tous les âges sont les bienvenus.
Pour organiser une visite, veuillez contacter Pascale Ouellette au 506-474-3735.

Join us in a planting session with Sydney from SucSeed!
We will mail you the supplies for your microgreen kit so that you can have a hands on component to our virtual session.

We will explore planting our microgreens, how to eat them, and then dive into sustainable farming and why all of us should strive to support it.
PSST... There are even some planting tips in this workshop!
