Hey Folks! Our Fall field trip this year was back to beautiful Metcalfe Rock for some climbing and caving where our Collingwood school also got to meet our sister schools from Meaford and Wasaga Beach.

Imagine yourself a sly fox, tiptoeing through the dewy grass, senses on high alert. A flash of movement catches your attention, you take off, sprinting after the small mouse. It dives into a tiny hole just as you are closing in on it! Foiled this time, but you know it won’t be long before you …
Hey Folks, We had a fun week again in Collingwood that saw us venturing all over the map – building fires, eating pears and grape jelly, getting stuck in mud, running from hail, epic burr battles, new songs (Aster and Goldenrod – maybe you’ve heard it?!) and even some archery. It was a jam packed …
Hi Friends, This week we welcomed the rain, and while some of us may stay inside to stay dry, our students embraced the rain and discovered our soil ecosystem, which was full of life! We even learned a new song called Young and Wild – ask your child to sing it for you! While some …

Teamwork was abundant in carrying the heavy buckets …

Hey Folks! A big welcome to all our new families, and welcome back to our old friends at FSFNS this year! It’s hard to believe how far we’ve come and how much we’ve grown since day one, and as we enter our 5th year as a school we are more excited than ever! At the …
Welcome to the Tuesday Chickadee group friends and family! Had you been anywhere near Bygone Days you would have heard us calling enthusiastically to one another “chicka-dee-dee-dee!” all day long. We worked on our quiet fox feet as well, to make sure that we don’t surprise all the critters before we get a chance to …
