The students enjoyed a boat ride, helped set up decoys, observed the older students building blinds and crouched in behind the blinds as they called the ducks. They saw flocks of ducks and geese flying above and ate great food. A great big THANK YOU goes out to Kendrick, Jamie, Mike and Walter who took the group out on the field trip. Thank you also goes out to Ms. Murphy and Ms. Ceretzke. Structures and Design The Grade 3/4 class had DiscoveryE come in the classroom and teach a lesson on structures and design. They challenged the students to come up with a plan for a bridge that would bridge the distance between two chairs. Once the students had their plan, they picked out the materials they wanted to use and then began to construct their bridge. Their creative minds went to work and they came up with some spectacular designs! A Big Thank You to DiscoveryE! The students loved your visit! Mikey Hard at Work!
