Field+Trips

The field trips this year correlate with the Grade One You and Your World curriculum.

We have taken the first of three fall field trips. On September 29th we visited Mrs. Versloot's family dairy farm, in Keswick Ridge. We enjoyed our visit, and learned much new interesting information about how milk is made, how the cattle are fed and looked after, and about how new technology is used. Back at school we all participated in making butter from whipping cream. Very yummy on crackers with raspberry jam from Mrs. Doyle's kitchen.

On our next field trip on October 6, we visited a sheep farm in Harvey. We marvelled at the Highland cattle, the sixty plus sheep, and the variety of animals around and about the farm. We ate our snacks at the pond, enjoying the beautiful fall weather.

Our next field trip is scheduled for Monday, November 15. We leave school at 8:50 and return around 11:15. We are going to visit a few departments at UNB through the 'Let's Talk Science' program.
