Azumino Alps Park & Cow Milking<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the proverb goes\u2026 \u201cit takes a village to raise a child\u201d. Indeed, Canyon was very fortunate that the community warmly welcomed our our curious little minds and our inquiries and . We went to Azumino Alps Park and a dairy farm brought a \u2018milking cow\u2019 to ISN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the park and nature study room, we saw live salmon fish, beetles, frogs and more! There were specimens of butterflies, molted skin of snakes and owl feathers. We took a stroll through the forest. The cicadas were so loud! We spotted spiders and ants. We even picked pine cones!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before cow milking, we wondered\u2026Does milk come out of the cow\u2019s mouth? Tummy? Belly button? Their UDDERS! We were shown the different kinds of food that cows eat – hay and sugar beet pellets. We tried shaking the milk bottle really hard to make butter! We had fruitful learning journeys! Thank you, Matsumoto! We created a little cow farm in class too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Show and Tell<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have been building our vocabulary and even counting through the Show and Tell artefacts brought to the classroom. Thank you for bringing them to school. ‘Short tail’ someone said when a toy dachshund dog was presented. We counted seashells too and wondered if there were any hermit crabs in them, just like in the book “A House for Hermit Crab”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
