River Legacy Nature School

🦋🐸🐉 On the first day of Mighty Morphs, our young five-year-old scientists began exploring how living things grow and change! Students compared their own growth to that of other animals, like ferrets, and started thinking about the different ways animals develop. Later this week, they'll discover how butterflies, frogs, and dragonflies go through incredible transformations before becoming the adult animals we know and love. We're diving into the amazing world of metamorphosis! 🌱✨

Play is more than just fun — it’s the foundation for learning and growth! From independent play and parallel play to imaginative and sensory play, every type of play helps children build important skills and supports meaningful development.

🌎 Happy World Environment Day! 🌿

Every small action we take to care for our environment creates a ripple effect for future generations. Whether it’s planting native species, exploring the outdoors, reducing waste, or simply taking time to appreciate the beauty around us, we all play a part in protecting our ecosystems. 💚

At the heart of environmental stewardship is connection — to nature, to community, and to the world we share. Today, we celebrate the forests, rivers, wildlife, and green spaces that inspire curiosity, learning, and care every single day.

How are you celebrating World Environment Day? 🌱✨

Part two: Predators or Pals? 🤔🐸🐍
The frog jumped onto the steps beside the snake and the two spent a minute together before the snake entered the water.
