I am very excited to announce that my class, along with the other grade 5 class, will be travelling to Camp Sheldrake on June 17th for our end of the year field trip.  This is a big year for the students as it is their last year in Elementary School. The trip to Camp Sheldrake is always reserved for the Grade 5’s to celebrate their years in elementary school.    They will leave the school at 8:35am and return just before dismissal at 3pm.  Their day will be packed with activities such as repelling, canoeing, archery, art and games.  They will have to bring a bagged lunch that day, as we will be only taking a brief lunch break from 12:30-1pm.  Also, please make sure they have sunscreen, bug spray, towel and bathing suit in case they have the chance to go swimming in the river that day if a lifeguard is available.  If it is raining on this day, please come prepared for the weather with umbrellas and rain attire.   The cost of the trip is $15/student and it is well worth the price considering a day at this camp for your child during the summer months is $40.  Hopefully all the students will be able to finish the year off with this amazing adventure.  The money for this will be due in to me by June 13th.    I know the students are going to love it!!!   Also, on June 7th, we will be travelling to French Fort Cove for some Geo-caching with our pen pals from N.S.E.E.  There is no cost for this trip.   On June 22nd, we will be going to J.M.H. in Miramichi for our track and field day.  Students need to bring their lunch, lots of water, sunscreen and insect repellent.    Mme Jen
