Fascinating group of young muggles and magics in last week’s Hogwart’s Traveling School of Magic. Here are some of the pics:
Sorry no moving images, on order by the Ministry of Magic. You know being as muggles are involved here and all.
Excited to be visiting the young muggles and magics this week in Ladner for one last week of the Hogwart’s Traveling School of Magic for the summer.
Sufficed to say it’s been a little hotter than we’re used to in BC this summer. Rather than let our tempers boil over, we’ve got a few games to beat the summer heat and cool down over the next couple of weeks from Erica Hargreave, the founder of Ahimsa Media (Digital, Interactive, Transmedia Storytelling Company), and Ahimsa Kids (Representing Set Teachers and Child Coordinators in BC). Take it away Erica!
I’ve set these activities up like mini-Olympic Games competitions to add a bit of friendly sport in there.
The first one:
Protective Padding
Because it’s not only the athletes that need to protect their noggins…..
MATERIALS:
THE SKINNY:
Here’s the deal kids. Your building a helmet to protect your water balloon from bursting. You can build it in anyway you like as long as you don’t break the rules (I’ll get to those in a minute). Once you’ve built and fastened on your water balloon’s helmet, partner up and take turns tossing your partners water balloon gently in front of their feet. To win, you need to be the last dry kid standing (ie. your balloon has not burst).
THE RULES: (Yes, there are rules, because without them it would be chaos people, chaos I tell yah)

I was lucky enough to spend my afternoons two weeks ago in beautiful Boundary Bay, Tsawwassen with a great group of young people. We rambled through the forests, fields and beaches on outdoor ed adventures, team building, studying edible and medicinal plants, creating things from plants and learning survival skills. Here are a few of the pics:
Wow!! Had such a great week with the Wild World of Science kids. Such a creative bunch of characters. Here are some pics from the week:
Spent a morning earlier this week exploring Boundary Bay in prep for this week’s Outdoor Ed Camp. I can’t wait!!! It’s just so beautiful and absolutely perfect for a week of leadership building, camp cooking, survival skills and tracking. Looking forward to it! Here’s a couple of pics I snapped as I was out and about:
