Tomorrow is our big end of the year all day field trip to Suncresk Water Park!
Suncrest Park has a playground, a large field and sprays for water play.
Each child is welcome to bring whatever they’d like to the park to entertain them for the day, not including money, valuables, squirt or water guns. Whatever they bring, they are responsible for it’s safe return home.

Each child should arrive in the morning, dressed in his/her swimsuit with sunscreen applied and his/her clothes over top. Everyone should wear comfortable sandals that are suitable for walking and water play and bring these items:

• large towel
• hat
• sunscreen
• healthy lunch & recess snack (reusable containers please)
• 2 drinks (plastic bottles only, please)
• large plastic bag for wet towels, clothes, etc.
• knapsack in which to carry everything

We will be leaving Nelson at 9:30am and returning to school at ~2:00pm.

Last month the Grade 2s, 3s and 4s in Division 7, 8 & 9 traveled by school bus to Grouse Mountain for a day of adventure in the snow!!!

(Click on the smiley above to see pictures of our adventures!)
First, we walked through the winter wonderland of Grouse to have an interactive experience all about bears with bear artifacts, stories and we learned the similarities and differences between the 3 species of North American bears: the grizzly, black bear and polar bear! 
Next, we stepped into an authentic Pacific Northwest Longhouse and had the privilege of having Kwel-a-a-nexw, Grouse’s Squamish First nations elder, take us back in time to discover the traditional way of life of our First Nations people.
After enjoying our lunches in the Grouse Mountain cafeteria, we had a guided snowshoe tour along the Light Walk trail before jumping back on the gondola and travelling down to our awaiting school bus back to school!

Division 7, 8 & 9 spent the day at the Burnaby Village Museum on Tuesday, learning all about life in the 1920s! Highlights were the Carousel, the Burnaby Post & Seaforth School, where Miss Watt picked up a few tips about discipline! Nose & Toes, Boys & Girls!

In May, division 8 has some exciting adventures planned!
On Monday, May 7th, we will be visiting our neighbour school, South Slope Elementary, for their spectacular musical, Alice in Wonderland. This is a free dress rehearsal performance that we have been invited to see and all parents are welcome to join us! We’ll be leaving at ~12:30 and be returning before 3pm.
On Tuesday, May 8th we will be visiting Burnaby Village Museum for the day. Although we will be taking a bus there, we are looking for parents to join us and help lead a small group around the village.
Please let Ms. Watt know by commenting on this post or writing in your child’s planner if you are able to join us!

Thanks again for your continued support! 🙂
