Scarborough Bluffs

One of the highlights in the Fall was taking a class trip to the Scarborough Bluffs.

The Scarborough Bluffs are actually the remains of a 10,000 year old lake, Lake Iroquois. It disappeared a few thousand years later after the St. Lawrence River ice plug started melting -- the bluffs are the remains of the original coastline. They are also responsible for forming the Toronto Islands!

We spent the morning hiking up trails and exploring the park. Students used digital cameras to document everything along the way: wildlife, tracks, trees, flowers, and beautiful scenery.

Some class activities had been set up for the day too, including a math trail in the morning and writing a reflections essay about the afternoon journey.

After lunch we searched for a path up to the top of the cliffs. When we reached the top, we posed for a class photo next to the tree we had seen from the beach -- a reminder that we can reach our goals if we pay attention to our routes.
