Field Trip

We took a bus to the Nature Playground. I went on the swings and slide. It was a lot of fun. We got to see Prince Charles and then we went to the Zoo. We saw a reindeer, porcupine, buffalo, a cougar and monkeys. Everyone should visit the zoo. It was lots of fun. - Danya

We got to the park on a bus. We went to Winnipeg. I walked up the hill and went down the slide. We went to the zoo and we saw buffalo, ducks and monkeys. My favourite animal was the cougar. I had fun. - Graham

We had fun at the field trip. We saw Prince Charles twice. We saw him once at the Pavilion and then we saw him at the zoo in his car and he waved to us. We played on slides and swings and we ate our lunch there. At the zoo we saw a cougar and bison. We had fun! - Tate

Shannon Rempel Comes to Morris School



Meeting Shannon Rempel - Olympic Speed Skater

Shannon won a silver medal in the 2006 Winter Olympics. Shannon practises 6 hours a day. She stops at lunch and she has fun with her teammates. Shannon has to eat healthy food when she is practising like apples and oranges and all kinds of other things. She trains in Calgary. I know her because she is my cousin. It is fun having a winter Olympic cousin. She is from Winnipeg. She started speed skating when she was 10. She played hockey first and then speed skating. I'm glad she came to our school. - Molly

Shannon came to our school and it was fun. She is a speed skater and skated in the Olympics. She passed her skate around and her suit. It was fun. She also passed her medal around. - Alisha

Reduce, Reuse and Recycle!

We baked cupcakes with Mrs. Penner. We made a cake mix and we added green and blue food colouring in separate bowls. We took cupcake pans and poured green and blue mix into it. Mrs. Penner cooked it and we made Earth Day cupcakes. Then we took blue and green clay. We patted it down on a plate and took pipe cleaners and pom poms and used hot glue to glue the pom poms to the pipe cleaners. We stuck pipe cleaners into the green clay. We made Truffula Trees. Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not. - Hana

We made our little world out of a Styrofoam ball. We used tissue paper and the colour was blue and green. Blue and green make earth colours. If you want to help the earth you can pick up garbage and be happy about our world and province. In the story "The Lorax" the Once-ler cut down the trees and he did not listen to the Lorax. We made Truffula Trees. - Alex

I started a "Clean Up" club to help the earth. We pick up garbage in the playground and in the field and in the basketball court. We want the earth to be more healthy. We made cupcakes and watched "The Lorax". I feel sad when people don't clean up. We made the little world out of tissue paper and Styrofoam balls. - Sophie
