Mrs. Sanna Kokko, 3rd grade teacher
Early in the September morning the 3rd and 4t graders of our school left school to go and have a trip to forest. The bagbags were full of warm clothes, packed lunch and hot chocholoade. A trip of few kilometers was nice with the bikes. After leaving the bikes they had to walk a while to destination.
The students divided to groups and every group's first task was to build a wood house for themselves. While building they figured out names for the group. After the work it was lunch time. The groups worked together co-operatively planning stories: what happens in forest after leaving, who is moving to our house and what kind of creatures capture them. The work continues in the classroom following days combining Finnish studies and art. They examined also trees, measured heights and calculated ages. They played also Capture the Flag-game.
The goal for the day was to get familiar with the other class, problem solving, creativity and have fun in the forest with bright autumn colors. All the goal were reached and the day was a success. For now on the co-operation between the classes goes well and naturally.
The day was so nice that we are going to do it again some day!
