Today we went on a special trip to Nose Hill. We went with Alex, Jaclyn, and Laura from CPAWS. Jaclyn told us that her favourite animal is the porcupine. When we were at Nosehill we played a predator game where the adults were Great Horned Owls and the students were Richardson's Ground Squirrels. We also learned and shared some facts about Porcupines and then played another game where Coyotes were hunting Porcupines. We saw chew marks and chewed bark on some Wolf Willow bushes. While we were walking we found evidence of a Porcupine. At the end we all sat in our animal groups and shared facts about our animals with our friends from CPAWS. They were very impressed with all the things we know!
On Monday the Kindergartens will be coming for a visit in our classroom! The grade 1's will have a chance to practice being grade 2's and the grade 2's will get to have a visit with Mrs. Wilkens!
Please remember that we will be going to Nosehill again on Wednesday. We need some volunteers for this trip. If you can volunteer please email Ms. Boyer.
