Final crowd surfs

Last garden visit..

We made a great salad with kale, speckled lettuce, star lettuce and we tried kohlrabi.. 

We did wash the kale and lettuce.. 

Our creations.. collages!

Thanks to Amy for the great pictures (and for walking home with us)  as I was way too busy creating! 

And thanks to Laila for joining us for the walks both ways!  The walk home!

Artists for Kids Gallery

Tiko Kerr is a local artist working in collage and paint and printmaking to create compelling abstract pieces. 

He also works as a set designer so we posed in front of our favourite ‘sets’

Next post.. making our own collages.. 

Farewell, dear salmon!

On May 23/19, we took our beloved salmon to Hunter Park in Lynn Valley and released them in the creek.

(Temporary Backup) Seymour River Salmon Hatchery

We were so lucky today!  We got to explore the Seymour River Salmon Hatchery. We impressed the staff with our salmon knowledge, and we left with even more!

At Hurry Creek, students gathered sediment and collected water samples to look for invertebrates, a very important part of the food  chain. 

We spooned samples into little petri dishes to look at under microscopes. 


What IS that?!

Meanwhile, in the main Hatchery building,

Kate helped us identify different species...

... and demonstrated how they gather the eggs from spawning salmon. 

Back to Hurry Creek now for some stream surveying. Are conditions here suitable for growing salmon?

That is actually a branch making that C shape. 

Rainy on the outside, but sunny on the inside!

Keep your eyes and ears peeled for their Open House. It’s well worth the trip
