Today we went on the first field trip in nearly 2 years!

We caught the 144 SFU bus just after attendance.  We certainly lucked out with the weather; it was a beautiful, crisp day! After a short bus ride, we arrived at the museum.  We were greeted by Mr. Rondeau and Veronica who talked to us about the museum and some of the artifacts there.  We were especially interested in the Namu wall exhibit, an actual archaeological dig that has been transported to the museum.  This dig represents evidence of people living 9000 years ago in what is now BC!

Students explored the museum by completing scavenger hunt questions and choosing an artifact to draw, write observations, and make inferences about.

Mr. Rondeau ended by showing the class a new piece of technology he has just received for underwater archaeology: an ROV (Remote Operated Vehicle) that can explore the depths of underwater sites!  Mr. Rondeau complimented the students on their respectful behaviour and was very impressed with their questions and observations.

We caught the bus back to school and arrived during lunchtime.  It was a wonderful day!
