Birds Hill Field Trip

THANKS TO THE STUDENTS FOR A WONDERFUL DAY OF FUN AND LEARNING! 

YOU ARE AN AWESOME BUNCH OF KIDS!

Addy – There was sunscreen type stuff on the Aspen trees.

Jolene – We walked the trail twice and the second time the park interpreter talked about things on the trail.

Nathan – When we were studying rocks and minerals, I learned that rocks can come from magma, to lava, to rock.

Dante – It was cool to learn about the sunscreen on the Aspen trees and how they use it in the winter.  We also learned about the chickadees and how they don’t fly south for the winter.

Tristan – At the interpretive centre we saw stuffed birds and we saw skeletons and bones and we saw a stuffed lynx.

Taylor – When we were going on the walk the second time we stopped and talked about the black fungus on some of the cherry trees that they only go on.  The chickadees in the winter eat the bugs that live in the black fungus.

Maddox – On the second time we went on the trail we learned something about beavers.  They can not digest the wood completely so they have to eat it a second time once it comes out.

Sydney – Today when we were playing after lunch there was a big hole and we saw a garter snack in it.

Heidi –On the second time around the trail we learned about chickadees and what their call was and that the male chickadees find places to live with the best stuff and call the females chickadees and all of the girls are called Susan.

Tyson – If you eat the black fungus you will poop till you are dead.

Emma – When we were on the walk we learned about the chickadees and we found out that the boys have to do all the work and the girls just sit down.

Sofia – There was this type of church called a sweat lodge and the aboriginal people have their church in the nature.

Ashley – Today we went on a scavenger hunt and I saw a nest.

Jessica – The first time we went on the walk in groups we found this case in a tree that someone used for geocaching and it said 5 on it.

Brooke – On the walk with the group leader we got to learn that some kind of trees can make sunscreen and you can use it when you are burning.

Joseph – Chickadees make a home to impress the female.

Matthew – We found a pond and we through it was a ditch.

Salina – Beavers eat their own poop.

Dylan – The boy chickadees call Susan.

Tristan – The beaver’s dam has 2 floors.  The bottom floor has a pool area and the top floor is where they lay and sleep and they have a sun roof.
