Qi- .i-,.,- ln the Toronto Harbour lies an archipelago which shelters the city docks from the pounding waves of Lake Ontario. The misnamed, Toronto Island , is the home of an airport, a school, three yacht clubs, a farm and hundreds of acres of park land. Most of the population and the Science School are located on Wards Island and Algonquin lsland. The school provides unique experiences in science education for two hundred grade six classes each year from the Toronto area. The children who are year-round residents of the Is- land, attend day school there also. Student teachers from all over Ontario have an opporttmity for an unique experience and receive coaching in counselling, class control and maintaining class interest on field- trips. The knowledge of nature's secrets which is absorbed by the children during their stay, is inestimable. Most of the teaching is done out- of-doors. The blackboard is the earthen ground and the chalk is any serviceable stick, To the boys and girls gathered a- round the instructor, learning becomes fun. The activities are many and varied. Map and com- pass reading, a trip to the island farm, weather, rock and mineral studies, delving into the secrets of the ponds and lagoons are only a few of the experiences. Introduction into the means of conservation for plants and animals and a trip through the neighbouring filtration plant pro- vide rich and enjoyable learning situations. Rising for the seventy-two students, who were at the school when we were there, was at 7:45 each morning. Retiring was 8:30 p. m. , after showers. Between those important times were two morning activity periods fone hour in durationj, lunch, two afternoon activities, study or recapitulation and the evening programme. The latter part of the schedule took the form of sing-songs, films or games which were held in the spacious common room of the school. The highlight for the week's evening activities came Thursday evening, when skits were put on by each group. These proved to be exciting and amusing for the children and grown-ups alike. The week's activities were climaxed with a trip to the top of the so-called haunted lighthouse. Much happiness will be felt in years to come when the student teachers recall: watching a saw-whet owl being caught and banded, sloshing through the ponds with the children, capturing living creatures, answering the questions the students asked about the farm animals and helping the boys and girls forecast the weather. These memories will surely be shared in the future sci- ence classes of our Ontario schools. f If Z! by: Vincent Dtunond F. S, C, 74 EV?
