The Grade 3s have an exciting educational opportunity to visit the MacSkimming Outdoor Education Centre Pioneer Village on May 3rd. The students will enjoy experiential learning experiences about Canada’s earliest communities, which connect directly to our curriculum. Students will have an opportunity to discuss and compare the lives of Indigenous communities, to that of the European settlers during the early 1900s. Students will visit a one-room schoolhouse, build a log cabin and use some antique tools, in this hands-on discovery of life long ago.
We will be looking for at least 2 parent volunteers per class. We will be traveling by bus to the village location at 3700 Wilhaven Dr. leaving at 9:30am and then returning to school at 2pm for the last period of the day. Students will also have a lunch break during their time at the Education Centre. We are excited to offer this field trip to our Grade 3s! Please check your email for the permission form to sign for your child to participate!
