East Kensington Outdoor Learning (EKOLogy) (K-7)

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Through daily outdoor learning experiences, children in the EKOLogy program develop a sense of wonder and gratitude in the beauty, diversity, and complexity of the world to become environmentally and socially responsible people with a passion for lifelong learning. Children in our EKOLogy program spend time each day learning outside the classroom.

The Outdoor Learning Program will:

• provide outdoor experiences that integrate B.C.'s curriculum with children's innate wonderings and curiosity;
• allow teachers to facilitate emergent, experiential, inquiry-based, play-based, and place-based learning;
• allow teachers to help children to identify, co-manage and navigate risk. Opportunities to experience risk are seen as an integral part of learning and healthy development;
• align with the First Peoples Principles of Learning;
• develop students' core competencies. Experiential learning in the outdoors fosters children's competencies as creative and critical thinkers, effective communicators, and people who are personally, socially and environmentally aware
