Trip to the Kortright Centre for Conservation

Posted in Uncategorized at 4:08 pm by staff

On Monday, April 7 the Grades 3, 4 and 5 classes had a perfect sunny, warm day to take a trip to the sugar bush at the Kortright Centre. We hiked through the forest to see how the pioneers made maple syrup and then we visited a modern sugar shack. We had a sample of the syrup made the old fashioned way. The perfect end to our trip was a pancake lunch with guess what? -maple syrup. We really enjoyed being out in the fresh air, lapping up the sunshine after our long, cold, snowy winter.

On Thursday, March 27 the Grades 1, 2 and 3 classes visited the Royal Ontario Museum to take part in a lesson on the new Dinosaur Exhibit. The students were fascinated by the size of some of the skeletons on display in the beautiful new addition to the ROM. We learned many interesting facts and the students showed their engagement by asking equally intriguing questions.
