Farewell, sweet salmon!

Last Thursday, we went to beautiful Hunter Park in Lynn Valley to release our class salmon. 

This stream is a good location for them: there are rocks, shade, moving water, and food for them. 

We each got a container of fry to release into the water. We said our farewells and wished them good luck. 

It pays to pause

Alana Frogley, one of our wonderful Special Education Aides at Brooksbank, came to lead us through yoga this afternoon.   Yoga means to unite your mind, body, and spirit through your breath.   Interestingly, Alana noticed some people were uncomfortable with the quiet required in yoga; they wanted to fill the space with talk or sounds because some folks aren't used to being calm. Some kids said the quiet makes them feel nervous.  Others need it more often than not.  Pausing for quiet moments is so important for brain development.  Let's all take calm breaks to reset our personal peace. 

Last group of shots from our field trip to the Seymour River Hatchery

We learned the place of aquatic invertebrates in the food chain.

First, we had to put on hip waders and then .... We collected the invertebrates out of the stream, where they are attached to the rocks and swimming near the bottom.

Finally, we were able to look at the invertebrates with microscopes and magnifying glasses. My favourite where the caddis fly nymphs. 

Primary Morning of Music showed great talent!

It rained, it poured , but we still enjoyed the garden!
