 Fun & Learn Workshop : Craving the elements February 12th, 2013

By Jordan Venne

 This workshop focused on reminding educators of all divisions that exist in winter.  The outdoors provides an excellent environment for cross-curricular learning opportunities. Amanda Dandy and Selena Leblond shared  a number of great active games that students play outside.  They emphasized how with some creativity, the winter weather lends itself to fun, cost effective and cross curricular activities.

Following this segment was Jordan Venne’s lesson on safety and preparation for taking a class outdoors. This lesson varied from the basics of outdoor education to the dangers involved with prolonged exposure to the elements that one may experience during a field trip.  

Derek Carpenter followed up with a display and explanation of traditional winter sport activities that could arouse interest in students and lead them towards active lifestyles. He also shared a video of the “super cat” improvised stove and suggested that its construction could be interesting for a Senior/Intermediate project.

The last segment was centered on the construction of improvised snow shelters. Together we discussed how this activity is physically demanding, engaging and contextualizes concepts in science and technology and Physical Education.
