Blue skies, the sound of water rushing by, and a warm wind carrying laughter along the trail and through the field: the blue group had an amazing time celebrating Earth Day today! After getting equipped at the school with our adventure packs and a picnic lunch, we took off for the trail. We headed through Marysville and down the trail towards the water treatment plant and the river. We loved the trail, picking up hiking sticks along the way and chatting to our friends. Once we reached the field, many students enjoyed some food, while others got busy exploring. We had a great time exploring in the water buckets provided, along with the “meteor with space bugs crawling on it”. So many activities took place in the field- drawing, writing, experimenting, taking pictures, digging, finding deer hair, and of course, lots of talking! We spent longer than we planned down there because everyone was having so much fun! Everyone did a great job getting back up the hill and were so excited to talk about their adventures. Once we were back in the room, we looked at the pictures we all took and had lots of laughs!
We talked about our favourite parts of the trip:
Claire: when we were digging at the meteor and eating
Nova: there was 3 things- digging and climbing on the
meteor, eating almost my whole lunch and playing Star Wars with Wyatt and Aylan
Giffin: digging on the meteor and having lunch
Isaac: when we were digging up the meteor and I wish there
was a transformer in it
Katy: having lunch (a picnic lunch) and going back
Erin: digging on the meteor and colouring
Isla: digging in the meteor and colouring and eating lunch
Alexis: eating my lunch and finding the little bugs
Sophia: eating lunch and looking for deer hair
Jaia: eating lunch and digging at the meteor to look for an
alien crab
Kaden: playing on the meteor
Aiden: digging up the meteor and having lunch
Georges: digging the meteor
Wyatt: finding the space spider and watching the scaredy cat
ants in the water
Matthew: the same as Wyatt’s
Jaxson: adventuring
Shaylyn: having lunch and playing with my friends
Kate: taking pictures
The unanimous decision: “Let’s come back here every Earth
Day!”
Thank you again to our five fabulous parent volunteers who
helped make this day such a success!
I have to say a big thank you too to the whole blue group
for making this my favourite Earth Day so far J

There are two slideshow links here- one is the pictures I
took during our trip, and the other is all the pictures taken by the students. It
was fascinating for me to look at the trip from their viewpoint!
