4RMs had their annual Ecoventure trip over the past 2 days and it was awesome! Students were inquirers as they explored ways to build shelter, excavate for bones, and even made their own fire! Here are a few snap shots into our learners days..

Dear parents,
For those students who are joining us on the Ecoventure, please make sure you've filled out the Google Form here which is a "waiver" and consent for your child to come on the trip. Also, please find below the list of items students need. Eco Venture Departure Eco Venture buses will be departing the school at 8am. Please meet in the courtyard for 7:45am. Eco Venture Return Eco Venture buses will be returning to the school at approximately 5pm. Teachers will update Mr. Hart and Mrs. Murphy on estimated arrival times as we leave Eco Venture and as we progress closer to the school. The school will then update you. Students Staying at School For students not going on Eco Venture, they will be allocated to a class on Thursday. They will follow all regular school arrival and dismal procedures with that class. For example, they will be expected to line up with their allocated class in the gym in the morning and be dismissed with their allocated class at the end of the day. Please subscribe to the Grade 4 Weebly for all information Ecoventure ( and other important announcements)!
