Place-Based Learning

Butterfly Release

100 Mile Elementary

Families at 100 Mile House StrongStart have really enjoyed learning about the lifecycle of a butterfly. Students carefully observed the changes in their caterpillars over the past weeks. Students were very keen and eager to share the "tricky word" chrysalid as they changed their form. Even the very young children in the group understood how the "caterpillars were wrapped up nice and warm in their cocoon like being wrapped in a blanket." It was very exciting when the butterflies emerged and the class was able to release them outside.<img src="/images/59bf8f2c-0006-4068-a132-0d736c5343e3?fingerprint=ppb20260611161542" alt="Butterfly release" width="511" height="768" style="width:511px;height:768px;display:inline-block">

A Bee-autiful Learning Opportunity

100 Mile Elementary

Learning opportunities sometimes arrive when we least expect them!Today, a colony of bees settled in our playground. After ensuring students remained at a safe distance, we contacted a local beekeeper who generously came to safely relocate the swarm.What began as a safety concern quickly became an authentic learning experience. Students had the opportunity to learn about how bees communicate and work together, the role of the queen and worker bees, and why pollinators are essential to healthy ecosystems and food production. They also discovered that swarming is a natural part of a bee colony's life cycle and that swarming bees are often focused on finding a new home rather than being aggressive.Experiences like this remind us that some of the most powerful learning happens when we connect directly with the world around us. Through place-based learning, students develop curiosity, ask meaningful questions, and gain a deeper understanding of the local environment and the interconnected systems that support life in our community.A sincere thank you to our local beekeeper for sharing her expertise and helping turn an unexpected visitor into a memorable learning opportunity.<table class="editor-table" style="width: 100%; table-layout: fixed;"><colgroup><col style="width: 50%;"><col style="width: 50%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><img src="/images/0ec2671c-7892-4fd2-b4a1-c277c98dcb11?fingerprint=ppb20260603220006" alt="Bee autiful 3 crystaldawn langton" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"> </th><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><img src="/images/711f6f3d-40b6-4cf4-9e70-eeb706c19b9f?fingerprint=ppb20260603220006" alt="Bee autiful learning 2 crystaldawn langton" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"> </th></tr></tbody></table>

Bird Watching at Scout Island

100 Mile Elementary

Mrs. Anderson recently embraced the elements—wind, chill, and all—to take advantage of a beautiful, sunny day at Scout Island, engaging in hands-on learning about our local bird species and ecosystems. Through careful observation and guided exploration, she deepened her understanding of bird identification, learning how to notice patterns, behaviours, and habitat clues. These are the same skills our students use when they slow down, look closely, and begin to make sense of the natural world around them. This experience is more than a field outing—it reflects our commitment to place-based learning, where the environment becomes the text. By bringing bird identification into the classroom, Mrs. Anderson is creating opportunities for students to build: Curiosity through noticing and wondering Mastery by developing observation and classification skills Connection to the land and local ecosystems Independence as learners who can explore and inquire on their own Moments like these remind us that powerful learning doesn’t always happen within four walls. Sometimes, it’s found in the quiet pause of watching a bird take flight, or in the shared excitement of identifying something new together.<table class="editor-table" style="width: 100%; table-layout: fixed;"><colgroup><col style="width: 50%;"><col style="width: 50%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><img src="/images/843bef3f-e677-431e-9f64-ccf73118e524?fingerprint=ppb20260428054346" alt="Bird Watching 1 crystaldawn langton" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"> </th><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><img src="/images/d57330fb-79bb-426e-b9c3-34185197c1f7?fingerprint=ppb20260428054344" alt="Bird Watching 2 crystaldawn langton" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"> </th></tr></tbody></table>

Take Meetings Outside

100 Mile Elementary

This spring we’re experimenting with moving our staff meetings outdoors. Research consistently shows that spending time in nature improves focus, creativity, and collaboration. Studies have found that people generate more ideas and engage in more open conversation when meetings take place while walking or outside rather than sitting indoors. Time in natural environments also helps restore attention and reduce stress. Environmental psychologists describe this as attention restoration—when the natural world allows our minds to reset and return to complex thinking with greater clarity and calm. For us, this shift is also about something deeper: connecting to the land. Many Indigenous ways of knowing recognize the land as a teacher. When we step outside together, we are reminded that learning, reflection, and leadership do not only happen in meeting rooms. The land invites us to slow down, listen, and see our work in a broader relationship with the place we live and learn. As a school committed to place-based learning and the values of belonging and relationship, gathering outside is one small way we can align our practices with what we hope students experience every day — learning that is connected to community, land, and one another.<img src="/images/06640a1a-c51f-46c1-b29b-ad99a3cfd62d?fingerprint=ppb20260318032852" alt="Take Meetings Outside crystaldawn langton" width="586" height="329" style="width:586px;height:329px;display:inline-block">

Sensory Scavenger Hunt

100 Mile Elementary

Mrs. Simcox’s class has been out exploring with a Sensory Scavenger Hunt — and it’s so much more than just a walk outside. 🍃🐾 By slowing down and noticing what we can see, hear, feel, and smell, students strengthen focus, regulation, and observation skills. These outdoor sensory moments help calm busy nervous systems, build vocabulary, and spark curiosity — all essential foundations for strong learning. Through place-based learning, our Wolf Pack connects deeply with the land around our school. When students notice the crunch of frost under boots, the scent of pine in the air, or the sound of ravens overhead, they’re building a relationship with this place — learning from the land, not just about it. Belonging grows when we feel connected to where we are. 🌲<table class="editor-table"><colgroup><col><col></colgroup><tbody><tr><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="width: 350px; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245); border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top;"><img src="/images/45b4e770-695e-4650-9489-5204386f1154?fingerprint=ppb20260306045731" alt="Sensory Scavenger Hunts 1 crystaldawn langton" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"> </th><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="width: 350px; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245); border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top;"><img src="/images/fd6c6ac8-1d7b-4393-9825-d873760feccd?fingerprint=ppb20260306045731" alt="Sensory Scavenger Hunts 2 crystaldawn langton" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"> </th></tr></tbody></table>

Gavin Lake Winter Adventure

100 Mile Elementary

Our Grade Wolf Pack had an unforgettable winter learning experience at Gavin Lake this week — where the land truly became our best teacher. Students snowshoed through forest trails, cross-country skied across open stretches, and explored snow science hands-on, discovering how snow insulates the earth, stores water, and changes with temperature and pressure. Each activity showed us how the land teaches movement, resilience, observation, and respect — lessons no classroom can fully replace. We arrived to blowing snow and strong winds, but just as in nature (and learning!), conditions shifted. By midday the skies brightened and spirits soared, making for perfect outdoor exploration. The fun didn’t stop after dinner — students enjoyed evening activities that had everyone smiling, from sledding and hockey to sauna time and ping pong, building connection, courage, and lots of laughter. This powerful experience was made possible through the generosity of our community sponsors, whose support allows our students to learn beyond the walls of the school and deeply connect with the land. We are so grateful. A true reminder that when we step outside, the land always has something to teach us.<table class="editor-table"><colgroup><col><col></colgroup><tbody><tr><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="width: 350px; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245); border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top;"><img src="/images/d916854b-505e-41b4-b4d2-f6617c3ae2a4?fingerprint=ppb20260306040025" alt="Gavin Lake Winter Adventure (1) crystaldawn langton" width="360" height="203" style="width:360px;height:203px;display:inline-block"> </th><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="width: 350px; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245); border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top;"><img src="/images/c22bb731-2a90-42ef-a00a-9d28e97127a7?fingerprint=ppb20260306040025" alt="Gavin Lake Winter Adventure (2) crystaldawn langton" width="378" height="378" style="width:378px;height:378px;display:inline-block"> </th></tr></tbody></table>

Outdoor Classrooms

100 Mile Elementary

In Mrs. Simcox’s outdoor classroom, the forest becomes a living learning space where big ideas are explored through play, collaboration, and place-based experience. As students build forts, they negotiate roles, share resources, and solve problems together. Through trading and exchange, they begin to understand fairness, value, and relationships. These hands-on experiences naturally lead into conversations about governing systems—how groups make decisions, create agreements, and take responsibility for shared spaces. Learning in this way provides an authentic entry point for understanding treaty. Students experience what it means to live on the land together, to respect agreements, and to recognize that cooperation and mutual responsibility are essential for communities to thrive. This is place-based learning at its best—rooted in the local environment, connected to lived experience, and meaningful to students. By learning through the forest, students deepen their understanding of social studies concepts while building belonging, independence, and respect for one another and the land.<table class="editor-table"><colgroup><col><col></colgroup><tbody><tr><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="width: 350px; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245); border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top;"><img src="/images/a866a732-8749-4cf1-b140-6d005f6f1101?fingerprint=ppb20251217035244" alt="Outdoor Classrooms 2 crystaldawn langton" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"> </th><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="width: 350px; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245); border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top;"><img src="/images/ca4702b7-d0fc-4f72-9608-6b6a3db65ebd?fingerprint=ppb20251217040230" alt="Outdoor Classrooms crystaldawn langton" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"> </th></tr></tbody></table>

Learning to Listen Like Deer

100 Mile Elementary

As part of Take Me Outside Week, Mrs. Varney’s class stepped outdoors to explore how we can learn from the land by listening carefully—just like deer do. Students practiced using “deer ears” to tune into the natural sounds around them, noticing how focusing quietly helps reveal layers of life we often miss: the rustle of leaves, a bird’s call, the hum of insects, and even the sound of wind moving through trees. After listening, they created sound maps to record what they heard, showing where each sound came from and how it made them feel. This hands-on experience connected deeply to place-based learning, helping students build awareness of their surroundings and appreciation for the living systems that share our space. Listening like deer strengthened their sense of belonging and curiosity, while sound mapping supported observation, reflection, and connection—all core aspects of the Circle of Courage. Through these activities, students discovered that learning outdoors helps them see, hear, and feel more of the world they are a part of.<table class="editor-table" style="width: 100%; table-layout: fixed;"><colgroup><col style="width: 50%;"><col style="width: 50%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><img src="/images/ddf15ed1-d3d7-4f4b-bb96-20c020205126?fingerprint=ppb20260415044530" alt="Learning To Listen Like Deer crystaldawn langton" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"> </th><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><img src="/images/d638513a-f974-40e9-81d5-9f0c1a3592f5?fingerprint=ppb20260415044529" alt="Learning To Listen Like Deer (2) crystaldawn langton" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"> </th></tr></tbody></table>

Nature Based Mandalas

100 Mile Elementary

During Take Me Outside week, Mrs Dixon brought grade 6 & 7 students outdoors to create incredible artworks using only what they could find in their environment. Creating mandalas outdoors invites students to connect deeply with the land while engaging in mindful, creative learning. Using natural materials such as leaves, stones, pinecones, and petals gathered from their surroundings, learners explore pattern, symmetry, and design in a hands-on way that strengthens focus and calm. Outdoor mandalas naturally support place-based learning by encouraging students to notice the unique colours, textures, and shapes found in their local environment and to understand how these elements change with the seasons. Mandalas also reflect Indigenous teachings and the Circle of Courage philosophy, reminding us that everything in nature is interconnected. As students work together to design circular patterns, they practice Belonging through collaboration, Mastery through observation and design, Independence by expressing creativity, and Generosity by leaving behind a creation that honours the land. This activity blends art, mathematics, and environmental stewardship—helping students learn with the land rather than just about it.<img src="/images/5457a683-20fe-4b0e-b1e2-6c83c6c1c23e?fingerprint=ppb20251217034036" alt="Nature Based Mandalas 1 crystaldawn langton" width="398" height="530" style="width:398px;height:530px;display:inline-block">

Exploring the Health of Bridge Creek: A Lesson in Stewardship

100 Mile Elementary

Mrs. Simcox’s class visited Bridge Creek as part of an outdoor learning lesson inspired by We Are Water Protectors by Carole Lindstrom. The students gathered by the creek to listen to the story and reflect on their role as water protectors. They explored the health of the creek by observing the clarity of the water, signs of erosion, plant life, and evidence of animals or insects that depend on the waterway. Through these observations, students discussed what healthy water looks like and how pollution or neglect can affect the entire ecosystem. The experience helped them see how Indigenous teachings emphasize caring for the land and water as living relatives. Students recorded their findings and made personal “water protector promises,” linking their learning to the Circle of Courage: Belonging to the land and one another, Mastery through careful observation, Independence in making responsible choices, and Generosity in caring for water so that all life can thrive.<table class="editor-table" style="width: 100%; table-layout: fixed;"><colgroup><col style="width: 50%;"><col style="width: 50%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><img src="/images/d1d734b3-c803-49e5-a89b-a26fe8241732?fingerprint=ppb20260318042434" alt="Exploring the Health of Bridge Creek (1) crystaldawn langton" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"> </th><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><img src="/images/b5110dca-3a89-4019-a88c-aac09c59f7a3?fingerprint=ppb20260318042433" alt="Exploring the Health of Bridge Creek (2) crystaldawn langton" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"> </th></tr></tbody></table>

Five Senses and the Land

100 Mile Elementary

Ms. Dolinski’s Grade 2/3 class spent a peaceful morning immersed in nature at Centennial Park. Students found personal “sit spots” and quietly tuned in to the environment using all five senses—feeling the breeze, listening to birdsong, and observing the movement of trees and insects. Using natural materials, they created words to represent something they noticed, deepening their connection to place. This experience supports Indigenous education by honoring the land as teacher and reflects the Seven Sacred Teachings—especially Respect and Wisdom. Outdoor learning like this nurtures mindfulness, curiosity, and a meaningful relationship with the natural world around us. <div data-lexical-layout-container="true" style="grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr; display: grid;"><div class="editor-layoutItem"><img src="/images/39f953df-a4f7-40e9-99f3-434e085acbd9?fingerprint=ppb20251217033916" alt="Five Senses and the Land" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit"> </div><div class="editor-layoutItem"><img src="/images/233f9ec2-fcee-4daa-898b-25da6ee4f658?fingerprint=ppb20251217033808" alt="Five Senses and the Land" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit"> </div></div>

Collaboration in the Great Outdoors

100 Mile Elementary

In their journey to enhance outdoor education, two teachers, Ms. Speers and Ms. Hunt, have been walking together (figuratively AND literally!) in their quest for knowledge and experience. Ms. Speers was looking for some support to take her class to the park and Ms. Hunt, the librarian, had collaboration time and wanted to focus on outdoor learning. They made a plan to take their Grade 3/4 class to the park every week, creating an engaging learning environment beyond the traditional classroom. As they explore nature's wonders together, they share ideas and resources, learning from each other and observing how their students interact with the world around them. This partnership is not only enriching their teaching practices but also fostering a supportive atmosphere where both teachers can grow and develop their skills in outdoor education, ultimately benefiting their students' learning experiences.<img src="/images/e842d3f1-a53f-47b3-8a82-468bfdd12f30?fingerprint=ppb20251217040417" alt="Collaboration in the Great Outdoors" width="782" height="1038" style="width:782px;height:1038px;display:inline-block">

Take Me Outside

100 Mile Elementary

At 100 Mile Elementary, the focus on outdoor education transforms learning into an exciting adventure. Mrs. Varney's kindergarten class takes full advantage of this emphasis on place-based learning, often venturing into the local park for purposeful lessons. This beautiful park serves as a vibrant extension of the classroom, where children engage with the natural world and discover the stories of the land. We hold deep gratitude for this precious space, which enhances their learning experience.Mrs. Varney emphasizes, “So many of our students are familiar with the park as a place to play and enjoy with their families. Having the opportunity to visit this familiar space and use it to teach about science and the environment will hopefully help students share what they learn with their families. The beautiful setting also naturally leads the students to observe and use all their senses to share ideas and ask questions about what they see, hear, or feel. Nature brings a sense of calmness and focus to our lessons.”Alongside Mrs. Varney, Penny Reid, the Indigenous Support Worker, shares her vast knowledge of Secwepemc culture. She notes, “Indigenous teachings include a deep respect for nature and the interconnectedness of all living things.” This perspective helps students learn about their important connection to the land and its significance in Indigenous traditions.The immersive experience fosters curiosity, respect for nature, and self-confidence as children navigate their outdoor environment. Additionally, outdoor learning develops self-regulation strategies, allowing them to manage their emotions and behaviors better. Importantly, this approach empowers students to become stewards of the land, instilling a sense of responsibility for its care. By embracing this model, Mrs. Varney's class cultivates a love for exploration and deepens their understanding of community and culture, making every lesson an enriching adventure that resonates with their everyday lives. <div data-lexical-layout-container="true" style="grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr; display: grid;"><div class="editor-layoutItem"><img src="/images/ad88a42a-3955-49e7-b7f5-b184b18533ef?fingerprint=ppb20251217035552" alt="Take Me Outside" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit"> </div><div class="editor-layoutItem"><img src="/images/4dd4d27c-385b-429e-b3bb-363553feaff3?fingerprint=ppb20251217034024" alt="Take Me Outside" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit"> </div></div>
