Zoo Field Trip

Monday June 11

We have our final field trip of the year planned for next Monday, June 11.  We will be travelling by chartered bus to the Calgary Zoo.  While at the zoo students will participate in a program called Bear Necessities.  They will also have the opportunity to view the panda exhibit as well as observing other animals that reside at the zoo. 

We will be having a picnic lunch at the zoo.  Students are required to bring snacks, lunch and a water bottle.  They will be carrying these throughout the day in their backpacks. 
Please ensure that your child is dressed for the weather on that day as this trip proceeds rain or shine.  They will need to wear good walking shoes as we will be spending the majority of the day walking through the zoo grounds. 

We ask that students arrive at school by 9:00 on Tuesday.  We will be entering the school early that day so that we may take attendance and board the bus for a 9:15 departure.

As per CBE regulations:As this is a school field trip, parents and/or siblings other than those who have officially volunteered are not permitted. 

Volunteers and students are also not to buy food or drinks while at the zoo. 

Thank you for assisting us in following the CBE regulations for field trips so that we can continue to provide educational opportunities outside of the school building.

Needs and Wants In Inquiry, students are discussion the difference between Needs and Wants. Students brainstormed and discussed in small groups their personal needs and wants. Then, we discussed our community needs and wants. Ask your child what they believe is essential in our community and why. Toys, Watches and others distractions We are asking everyone to be thoughtful about the items in students’ backpacks. We all know that toys should not be brought into school, but also items that can become a distraction or reason for disagreements. For example, lately we noticed a few girls sharing bracelets, lip balm, necklaces and others items. First, lost or broken items result in very sad feelings. Second, it can result in discussions about the ownership of such items. Finally, it take away the attention and focus they should be directing to their learning. Our classrooms are filled with items to keep us busy. Therefore, toys, watches, bracelets, ‘special’ notepads or pens
