We had such an amazing time up at Grouse Mountain. I liked the comment made by a spry elderly man descending the trail our group was going up, “Best P.E. class of the year I bet!” he stated again and again with a huge grin. It was the first time snowshoeing for most of our class and so I was very proud that although tired, they kept on going. It is wonderful to do such things as a class. Not only is it great for our fitness, but for some good bonding time, too.
I have posted the pictures up: http://www.flickr.com/photos/90261662@N02/11458593134/
What you can’t get from the pictures was the excited voices, loud laughter, spontaneous singing of carols by several from our class, and of course the delighted screams, yes screams when the gondola swayed passing by two of the towers. I bet some of the kids loved the gondola ride best.
Thanks for your support Parents and helping to provide this experience for our students. Also, hope the parent volunteers had fun and thanks for helping out!
So kids tell us about your experience up at Grouse!
That was very fun but it was hard to walk in snowshoes. After that I was so tired! it was great exercise.
Some peoples snowshoe kept coming off but mine where pretty good. It was super fun!!!!!!!!
It wasn’t very cold up there. The hot chocolate was very good. I also liked the gondola but some people where scared.
Thank you ms gabas for planning this!!!!!!!
Oh i loved being at grouse for a fieldtrip. I cried on my first time being on the gondala going up but going down felt bit better.
Snowshoeing was fun and also very very tiring whenever we were allowed to rest i plunged my face into the snow : D.

I really enjoyed snow shoehing.
It was very tiring though.I hope we can go again.
I had a wonderful time at Grouse Mountain! It was my first time snowshoeing and I really enjoyed doing it. What I learned was that you must keep yourself warm or else you might freeze and possibly die. There are three ways to figure out that someone is really cold. MUMBLE, STUMBLE, and TUMBLE.

Ya we did learn how we can tell if someons cold but i thought it was a little hard to remember!
I liked the having the smarty’s and other candy at
break time. snowshoeing was tiring but fun.
p.s I liked eating lunch with the other classes class.
>_<
It was a great experience! Was my first time snowshoeing! My favourite part was the gondola and when we had a bit of free time after we had done snowshoeing. The deer was pretty fun to watch too. I touched it’s back!
I had a very great time at grouse mountain! I liked it when the gondola swung by the 2 towers, especially when it went down, because I haven’t been on a gondola since I was about 5 years old. I think that everyone had a great time at grouse mountain and had fun snow shoeing!
