A Storythread Experience for Grade One
Blanket Role - Nature Detectives
Nature Detectives discover their place
Nature Detectives explore a range of habitats, use science and stories to describe and share their discoveries and identify ways in which they will help care for local natural places.
Through the Forest Kingdom Storythread, the children learn about Grandma Whittacker, a woman with a deep connection to her place. Her love and knowledge of her forest backyard are shared through stories, as is her passion for ensuring natural places are cared for now and in the future.
