For the fourth location, I decided to travel out to Matheson Lake in Metchosin. I have been here quite a few times while working in summer camps, but I have only been here once without summer camp participants. It was a nice change to be able to take the time to notice everything around me.<\/p>\n

Curricular Connection<\/strong><\/p>\n

The curricular connection I was thinking of specifically for this post focus on grade 5 science in the BC Curriculum<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Make observations in familiar or unfamiliar contexts.<\/em><\/p>\n

Location<\/strong><\/p>\n

I started with walking around the areas I was familiar with and had been to before. After, I chose to walk further around Matheson Lake than I have been before.<\/p>\n

It was a bit more challenging to identify the exact territory in which Matheson Lake resides within, but it\u2019s very close to the SC\u2019I\u023aNEW\u0331 Nation (or Beecher Bay). SC\u2019I\u023aNEW\u0331<\/a> roughly translates to \u201cthe place of big fish\u201d. Additionally, while I was unable to find as much information about their history, I did find some interesting information from a few months ago about the how SC\u2019I\u023aNEW\u0331 Nation<\/a> and Western Canada Marine Response (WCMRC)<\/a> are working together to respond faster to oil spills that occur long BC\u2019s coastline.<\/p>\n

Mood Before and After<\/strong><\/p>\n

As I mentioned in my previous post, I was feeling about \u201cneutral\u201d before going on this walk. It was raining a little bit as I had arrived and while I was out for a walk. I left at around a rating of 5 afterwards.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s challenging to get a whole picture of the lake because of how wide the view was from where I was standing at times. I took pictures of some interesting plants I saw such as this one. I was unable to fully identify it, but I think it is a type of lichen.<\/p>\n

I took a picture of the lake while standing out on some rocks and this is what I chose to paint.<\/p>\n

Matheson Lake in Watercolour<\/em><\/p>\n

The water was easier to paint this time in comparison to the painting of the Lagoon. I surprisingly had an easier time painting the rocks in this photo, as I find rocks can be challenging with their organic shapes. What I found to be the most challenging was painting the forested areas in the background. This is definitely a skill I want to practice more and improve upon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
