Learning by doing... and having fun!

Friday, 5th February

It was a perfect day for choosing your doing and what you wanted to learn.
Four of our students left for a morning session in the forest with Kati.
The other half of the class stayed inside with Piia
- willing to catch some speed in Math and do some writing.
Math had also something very nice to offer: Times tables with 4 already!

Amy at work.

Investigative learning - that was our aim and goal, as so many times before.

First to the forest square-meter-spots to check some facts and make documentation of the regular data:

snow hight, temperature and weather circumstances
pictures, measurements and nature notices

Can you feel the ice?

Callum's forest spot and his pictures.

Our forest looked very icy,
there was some fog and frozen rain coming down to cover the little snow, which you still could find.

It was time to move on:

We wanted to check how far is the sight from the top of the hill.

Callum is almost there!

On top of the hill by the Vesitorni
on a rainy misty morning in February 2017.

We visited last year about one month later
exactly the same top spot of the hill,
we considered the difference was huge.
What do you think?

It has been a very mild and partly far too warm winter so far. We are also worried about it and do our best to take good care of our planet.
