Dear Parents,

We had a fantastic day at Telus Spark. The grade 1’s enjoyed riding the bus with the grade 2’s and 3’s. Upon their arrival, the students spent some time in the Creative Museum until our session began. During our session, the students discovered the urban natural world at Telus Spark’s backyard outdoor classroom. The students learned about animal adaptations and the environment through several games. The highlight of the activity, according to them, was playing Coyote tag.

The students burned some energy while playing at Telus Spark’s playground called Brainaisium. This is no ordinary playground. The students were drawn towards the 63 foot slide. Before going down, the students needed to climb a rope style tower.

After eating lunch in the cafeteria, the students explored the many exhibits at the Science Center and especially enjoyed the bed of nails. At the end of the day, most of the grade 1 students attended a free science demo called FIRE in one of Telus Spark’s many theatres. 

I still need parent volunteers for the in-class field trip on May 25th at 1:00 p.m. Please let me know if you can volunteer.
