BASES Aquarium Field Trip

One of this year's HIGHLIGHTS was planning and awaiting our class trip to the aquarium.  Students began 2 Science workbooks and most have completed both.  One was an informational workbook on Endangered Species.  The other was a booklet on Exploring the Seashore.  There became a collective energy in the classroom, as the anticipated field trip was on the Horizon! 
Students found several news stories that were discussed during Current Affairs.  One story was about a porpoise which had been abandoned and found around Horseshoe Bay.  Fortunately, he was rescued, but was in very bad shape.  The Vancouver Aquarium nursed him back to health, named him Jack and it was decided that he would live at the aquarium.  Jack has made his home with another porpoise named Daisy. 

Students became excited about a news story regarding the new penguin exhibit!  Everybody was looking forward to seeing these birds in person. 

After an almost year of Recycling and a Generous donation from Sullivan PAC, we booked our trip to the Aquarium for May 24!

Our Vancouver Aquarium Field Trip was a HUGE SUCCESS!  Students and BASES teachers would like to extend a HUGE THANK YOU to our PAC for providing such an Excellent Learning Opportunity with our Vancouver Aquarium Field Trip!
