Measuring garlic and identifying seeds in the garden

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

First, Fish:

Liam took our salmon study a step further by creating a life cycle diagram and several pictures of different salmon species. He shared his work with such pride. We were impressed by his effort. 

Finally, Frances:

Ms Munro's eldest daughter, Frances, had a pro-d day on Friday, so she came to help in class. We finished Friday with her reading a favourite family story, A Birthday for Frances.   Yes, Frances is named after a badger. 

Ms Munro was feeling a bit proud of her kid. 

CHICKENS IN THE HOUSE!!!

There are beautiful little chicks in the primary wing!  They hatched last week. We had to go meet them today. 

Of all 12 that hatched, only one is yellow. Its name is Sunny, of course. :)

Any more? Please?

The Hatchery tour

We started with a salmon identification game:

Then we had a funny puppet show to teach us how the salmon fertilized their eggs...

Next we looked at the incubating trays and inside the incubation room:

Outside, they raise the fry in tanks and then put them into protected ponds for them to grow into smolt.

Thanks to those dedicated biologists for producing all those salmon for us!
