Brother Brennan

We had a fabulous trip to the Brother Brennan Educational Centre on November 13th and 14th, the students absolutely loved it! We did so many things, we hiked, we learned about orienteering, we made paper, we talked about climate change, we had a fire by the water at night and saw so many stars and constellations!

Here are some highlights of our trip.

We had so much fun! Leave a comment below telling us what your favorite part was.

See if you can remember the answers to the following questions.

 

What are the four layers of the atmosphere that we learned and discussed? Which one is the hottest?

 

What are the two most common greenhouse gases?

 

How does Brother Brennan get electricity? How do we get electricity at our homes or at our school?

 

What did you learn about climate change?

 

What is the difference between fir and spruce trees? How did you learn to tell them apart? (Think of the first letter of each tree)

 

l'Halloween

Halloween was a very busy day at school! Here are some photos of the activities that happened in the afternoon, starting with the parade in the gymnasium!
