 Hi parents,

We had a fantastic day at Fish Creek today! We couldn't have asked for a nicer fall day.

In the morning we learned about how Fish Creek Park was shaped by glaciers thousands of years ago, and how evidence of this can be seen from the random giant rocks that appear throughout the park. We learned that one exceptionally large rock actually came all the way from Jasper!

We also went to the visitor centre and learned about the history of Alberta. We learned that some early settlers, like William Roper Hull, were able to become incredibly wealthy through ranching (others were not so successful). 

We visited the Artisan Gardens and the students each chose an art piece to study and reflect on.

We spent the entire afternoon doing a nature scavenger hunt and exploring the park. 

This field trip really had it all - Science, Social Studies, Art, and plenty of physical activity. Don't worry, we did math before we left. :)

Have a nice night,

Zac
