Hello Families!
Tomorrow is our first field trip of the year and we’re all VERY excited. Just a couple quick notes before the big day. Please have your child:
~ dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes as we will be walking a long distance to and from the theatre
~ bring their water bottle
~ bring a recess snack that fits in their pocket as we will not be bringing backpacks and they will not be eating lunch until 12:30/1:00
~ leave all money at home as there will not be an opportunity to buy snacks at the theatre
When we return from the theatre, our class has the opportunity to enjoy a delicious free hot dog lunch. If you’d like your child to participate, no need to send a lunch with them tomorrow. If they would not like a hot dog, please send a regular lunch with them to have at school when we return.
Thanks so much for your continued support!

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!
