Dear Parents/Guardians,
The Grade 3s have an exciting educational opportunity to visit the MacSkimming Outdoor Education Centre Pioneer Village on Wed., May 8th. 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 those 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 at 3700 Wilhaven Dr. leaving at 9:30am and then returning to school at 2pm for the last block of the day. Students will also have a lunch break at the Education Centre.
Please check your email for the field trip permission form to sign for your child to participate!
If you are interested in volunteering, please email me directly. I will then contact you with a trip volunteer form. Unfortunately, due to seating restrictions on the bus, we can only accept so many volunteers.
