On November 18th, our fifth graders and teachers embarked on an inspiring visit to the wetland of the artificial lake of Ayia. This adventure sparked a deep sense of connection with nature as we explored its rich flora and fauna. We encountered some of the 218 bird species that call the lake home, including the swamp duck, black-headed duck, moustached warbler, and phalarope, all thriving in their autumn habitat.
With binoculars in hand, we observed these birds swimming and flying among the reeds. Our magnifying glasses revealed the intricate details of the ecosystem. We then moved to a stream flowing between tall plane trees, where our teachers led an educational program that heightened our eco-consciousness and deepened our appreciation for nature.
Equipped with compasses, we located the four points on the horizon and discovered hidden envelopes for each group. Our excitement was palpable as we ran with joy to find them! Inside each envelope was a list of items to collect, such as a dry leaf, a fallen piece of bark, or a fruit. We gathered these treasures in our baskets and used them to compose short fictional stories inspired by the sensations of nature.
This experience not only enriched our understanding of the environment but also fueled our creativity. We are now ready to bring these natural treasures back to school and create new, imaginative projects!
