We had a wonderful day of learning at our OIMY plus on Galiano. We learned about and got to sample food from the "forest garden"; we heard about traditional uses of plants and trees by practicing cedar weaving (the paper version) and a "Caboose Walk". In the Caboose Walk students became experts on a plant or a tree and retold the information to everyone in their group. Some students got very creative with their presentations and all were very informative and rich! Thank you to the Galiano Conservancy for this well planned and enjoyable day of learning!<br />

Here are the travel details:<br />
<br />
Mayne and Pender students will take the ferry over (leaving at 7:05am on Pender and 7:45am on Mayne).<br />
<br />
Coming home will be via water taxi: arriving 3pm in Miner's Bay on Mayne and arriving at 3:35pm in Port Washington on Pender.<br />
<br />
We will be with the <a href="http://galianoconservancy.ca/" target="_blank">Galiano Conservancy</a> for most of the day learning about native edible plants and other forest ecology lessons!<br />

These days allow for our students to experience each of the islands our students represent in the OIMY program. The program we develop for each island is place-based and focused on local history and ecology often including local experts as facilitators. For example, on this afternoon students rotated through four different learning experiences. One station was run by local experts from our Mayne Island Conservancy: Michael and Stephanie. They shared information about mushrooms now starting to pop up in our forests and students went on a mushroom hunt and practiced identifying species with their help. Mayne Island teacher, Megan Cameron, led students in creating beautiful beach art. Local artist Annette had students create a found sound orchestra and teacher Jess Willows led students in forest games. Here are some photos from this exception afternoon:<div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-9p1wAxK6_qrVRBJNYIGGAXbjgl0PxR6DndRgiwkJiePvGuqaBPeREtv9OlLm2yQZ08V6hPShp8rsnIvkS8wA2YeetIWs-lj1kQ2h9Tr6FD8IsUHOW0gDXQ_YNJpPsSA4kxlj9_XpWYnz/s640/blogger-image--2040710543.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-9p1wAxK6_qrVRBJNYIGGAXbjgl0PxR6DndRgiwkJiePvGuqaBPeREtv9OlLm2yQZ08V6hPShp8rsnIvkS8wA2YeetIWs-lj1kQ2h9Tr6FD8IsUHOW0gDXQ_YNJpPsSA4kxlj9_XpWYnz/s640/blogger-image--2040710543.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwfJvShAbzO8Ay-2kBOfyGuSj_e5SRSDnchmjJ9ZO-nPAGGx20hia7E7ANzdMasxR39k3jEDzE1NOR20QG3viqBwPHbbCo0jphrZkZBASIzPSt0P1kKmDwn7OuxN3RbF4LTHNc_PYVmFz6/s640/blogger-image-707249898.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwfJvShAbzO8Ay-2kBOfyGuSj_e5SRSDnchmjJ9ZO-nPAGGx20hia7E7ANzdMasxR39k3jEDzE1NOR20QG3viqBwPHbbCo0jphrZkZBASIzPSt0P1kKmDwn7OuxN3RbF4LTHNc_PYVmFz6/s640/blogger-image-707249898.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJiRb6Mq3k8nO0jcqUe29ZYllvezEYudh0ngvdLOTuQz2Pqtre6TAbbDVXruRzawLVHw-4RyaC8C5heomw-u-uOpI5PSS9b3aebbA9FqYcAegoDrkJjl0hyniwY-XXrtfC4hJohA3e8Y2X/s640/blogger-image--1311386064.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJiRb6Mq3k8nO0jcqUe29ZYllvezEYudh0ngvdLOTuQz2Pqtre6TAbbDVXruRzawLVHw-4RyaC8C5heomw-u-uOpI5PSS9b3aebbA9FqYcAegoDrkJjl0hyniwY-XXrtfC4hJohA3e8Y2X/s640/blogger-image--1311386064.jpg"></a></div><br></div><br><div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div>Jessica Willowshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08264477777918155536noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194731012186967076.post-19979198738030987462016-10-17T08:43:00.001-07:002016-10-17T08:43:53.163-07:00Robotics!This is the first opportunity we have had to teach Robotics in the OIMY program, and we're also the first middle years students to get to learn about Robotics in our school district!!<br />
<br />
Thank you to Gulf Islands Secondary and particularly Rachel FitzZaland who started a Robotics program in our district and offered to lend us enough kits for an exploratory and train a teacher!<br />
<br />
Here are the students building, programming, and then engaging in a challenge:<br />

Mayne is the ideal setting to offer sessions in woodworking, cooking, fibre arts, and media arts. Our large shop is up and running with new projects, the teaching kitchen is sizzling with lovely odours, the sewing machines are humming away, and students are learning new skills in photography as they explore our campus. Our exploratories will take place over three sessions with three classes in each session:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Session 1: Jan 11, 18, 25</span></span><br />
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Session 2: Feb 22, 29, Mar 7</span></span><br />
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Session 3: April 4, 11, 18</span></span><br />
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Each class runs from 8:40 until 11:30am. It is really important that students attend all three classes in each session to ensure they give themselves enough time to complete their projects. All of our students are signed up for three sessions of their choice. </span></span><br />
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><b>TRAVEL INFO for Galiano and Pender families: Galiano students will travel to and from Mayne via the water taxi: meet at the water taxi dock at 7:15am; arrive home at 5:20pm. Pender students travel to and from via the ferry: meet at the ferry terminal at 6:45am; students then travel to the Pender school on the noon boat and are dismissed at the regular time. </b></i></span></span><br />
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">To continue with our place-based learning and to meet the goals set by our parent communities, we will also be holding OIMY Plus days. These will be full days spent on each of our islands. On these dates s</span><span style="line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">tudents will learn leadership skills, natural history and geography of our region, and physical education skills. These dates are set for Feb 1 on Galiano, Mar 7 on Mayne (afternoon only), April 25 Pender and a date in May (TBD) to work with our SEEC students. </span></span><br />
