today i have 2 things that are stuck with me. 1. i really liked the art lesson that pat did about the quotes. 2. and, i didn't like the gym game that we did today it was world domination and i wanted to take off my glasses because i was worried that someone was gong to hit me in the face with a ball and then, i would have a great risk of the lens in my glasses coming out and slicing my eye open. that did not happen to me in grade 2 but once in grade 2 one of my lens in my glasses completely came out and i had to get a new lens. so overall, i hate that gym game and i'm not looking forward to playing it again. if we have to play that again hopefully i will not be at school at that day.	nope. that's all for today.

This is yesterday: What stuck with me was Tim's presentation, of course! I loved how he was so passionate about what he was talking about. He was really enthusiastic and I think that really rubbed off on us! I also enjoyed the Crazy Kitchen, trains, and the slides! I loved meeting my buddy for the first time, but she seemed to enjoy being with her friends:(	The cranky monster lady was intense. I don't think she should yell at kids and adults like that... maybe next time we could try to cheer her up.	Millie

what stuck with me yesterday was that some people learn on different day on different ways and some people don't know that or don't get that and that we should try to make people more aware of it.		Madi
What stuck with me yesterday was the science and tech museum. It was fun to see our buddies and to learn a little more about them. I didn't talk to my buddy that much but it was still fun to see her in person.		Gabby
Whats stuck with me from yesterday was getting to meet my buddy in person, it was very cool because she was away on picture day so I didn't get to see what she looked like so then when I walked into the bus and she waved I got to see what she actually looked like!		Hannah

In which the Leadership Club Heads to We Day

The Leadership  Club earned spots at this year's National We Day, which was held at the Canadian Tire Centre. The event hosted 16 000 students and teachers who have worked to make a difference locally and globally. It was our first time attending the National We Day, and we certainly hope to be invited again in the future!

It was a really special, emotional, engaging and energizing day for students, staff and parent volunteers alike. We got to hear from Queen Noor of Jordan, MLK Jr's son, Spencer West (a legless adventurer) many youth who have worked with Free the Children, several musicians and other inspiring speakers and entertainers. 

We all got "Swag Bags" that included awesome light bracelets that lit up when we clapped. 

I am so proud of the Leadership Club members for earning their way to the event and for their awesome behaviour the whole day. Our goal was to arrive laden down with food, and some students even had to replace their bags, as they brought so much! 

We wish that all members of the Leadership Club could have joined us, as they've all worked really hard this year! 

Thanks to the staff and parent volunteers for joining us today!

At the end of the day, some students listed their favourite things about the day. I'll let them tell you the story:

"It was really sad to hear about lots of children not being able to have food, or being abused. I'm inspired to change the world." - Erika

"I liked Jen and Jas. Their voices were nice." - Ben

"I liked the Queen, Spencer West and the girl with HIV. Her speech helped me because I have Diabetes, and I realized that everyone has something. Spencer overcame obstacles and he's inspiring." - Katie

"I really liked how the kids talked about a boy who changed the world (Iqbal) and a girl who changed the world (Malala). I really liked what the Queen of Jordan said. I think we should work with Free the Children next year." - Gabby

"Something that really stuck with me was when the man talked about walking across Canada and enjoying nature's beauty. I want to fundraise to help people enjoy nature. I also liked the Queen of Jordan. When she was talking, I was really focused. It was inspiring. She said some things that were sad, but also hopeful." - Vickie

"I liked everyting, but mostly I liked the girl with HIV because she stood up for herself. It was really powerful that they thought she was going to die and now she's a teenager. When the children spoke, they had a lot of emotion and power." - Millie

"The girl who talked about her life with HIV and her brothers and sisters said that there are so many wheelchairs and crutches, words can't get through to us." - Madi

"I liked the girl with HIV's speech. She was really inspirational and very determined." - J

"I really liked the girl who was HIV+. She was really inspiring and she had a lot to say about bullying. It was very helpful and her message could be helpful to many more people." - Fiona

"I liked it all!" - Mel

"I really liked Spencer, because it's amazing he accomplished so much." - Anna

"My favourite moments were when Spencer walked our on stage and when Jordan sang 'Freedom' because it was his first time singing that song. I cried." - Hannah

"I liked when Queen Noor talked about how many kids are in poverty and when Spencer said, 'Find your why'." - Clara

"I loved the lights. Whenever somebody would clap, or when someone said something that really meant something to you, you could see all the lights sparkle." - Laryssa

"I liked everything!" - Molly

"My favourite part was everything!" - Pat

"I really liked the HIV+ girl. She was very open to showing that everyone has a staircase. When you get to the top, you're done and you've reached your goals. She has a couple of extra steps and she embraced that." - Sharky

What Stuck With Us - Thursday, April 3rd on the Edible Arctic Field Trip!

Notes and learnings from the Museum of Nature: -Greenland is not green and the name was to trick people into thinking it was lush green -There are no trees in Greenland since it's above tree land -Rockets,bombs and shelters are still left from when there was an army base there -Illouloustat ice fojrd is where all the iceburgs come from,the one that sank the titanic was born here! -Polar bear skin is black -Walrus smell bad even from a 1/2 kilometer away -polar bear fur is like little needles -you can get lindor chocolate for 90 cents		Clara
-One of my favourite parts of the museum was the water with the little cute sea creatures. -And one of my other favourite parts were when we had fish that tasted like candy, and the AWESOME hot chocolate with MARSHMALLOWS, and the bread that was a little sweat and fluffy all at the same time. -we have more snow in canada than in the arctic.	I LOVE CHROMEBOOKS AND CANADAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! yep	MeL
Today learning about Green Land stuck with me, I loved learning that cheerios there cost $9:99 but a chocolate bar (a big one) is only 99 cents! Also that the whole population of Green Land is 40,000 people! I also enjoyed all the games, I liked the one where you lift up your leg 3 times and then lock your leg to your partners and you try to move your partner, but me and my partner just stayed there, we had equal strength! Also with my separate group, when we went to the cave in the rooks and minerals gallery, it was a great time to write in our books! We did a lot more, but if I wrote everything, this would take centuries to read!	I hope we can do something like this again sometime	Vickie
what stuck with me from museum was... 1.the inuit games 2.the speech 3.the earth exipet		Jackson
What stuck with me today is This: 1. i learned that we in ottawa actually surprisingly get more snow than the arctic! 2. i learned that in Greenland it's not green at all! 3. there's no tree's in Greenland because it's too cold 4. i learned that in Greenland they actually made tiny beads out of animal's bone and put it onto women's clothing! but it took at least 2 - 3 years to make the clothing 5. And, i also learned that Lindor chocolate bars in Greenland are only $0.99! but here it's 5 whole dollars! but then at Greenland the cereal boxes are $9.99! And that's what i have today for what stuck with me!	nope	Erika
I had lots of fun at the museum today. My favorite part was eating the food and drinking the hot chocolate. I learned some new really fun games and I made some poems. Some of them are: Muskox, muskox, muskox, staring down a wolf. and: the moose makes makes a strange platypus face. I really want to go there again sometime in the future.		Yaro!
!. the guy who drew those pictures for our group @. i learned what a ice gjoud is it is a birthplace for ice burgs #. i learned that even if you don't get to see the exhibits that you wanted you should still try to enjoy learning about new things $. i learned that inuit did really crazy things for fun %.i learned that a comet triggered tsunamis and avalanches that killed dinosaurs		Laryssa
1-the native peoples of the north played games like finger pull (its one of the only inuit games i'm good at ) during blizzards and snowstorms to keep their bodies fit for hunting and other labors like it 2-whale tastes like chewy tuna 3- they changed the inflatable whale to a jelly fish 4- out of the following: a cup of coffee a glass of orange juice or a cup of tea a cup of tea takes the most water!	WATCH ATTACK-ON-TITAN!!!!	HUNTER!!!
the museum this is my poem. bones so strong teeth so red now it bits off your hede there is a vary BIG Turtle called Archelon a fun game stick your midal finger in your parson moth and your parson well do the same then pull.	no	skye
1. Jared. His experiences sounded so cool. I wish I was able to do that stuff. 2. The food. I wish I lived in the arctic if they actually eat food like that. I've eaten allot of Bannock (I'm in Scouts) but that was definitive some of the best. 3. I find it really cool how with modern Technology we can figure out so much about dinosaurs that lived millions of years old.	See you on Monday! I'm going skiing at Mont Tremblant.	Pat
The three things that stuck with me today are... 1. That Italic, Greenland has a population of only 80 people. And in that town, they have really colorful houses that match the colors of your boat and dogsled. And when for example, a boast went floating away, they would know who it belongs to, pink house, pink boat. 2. The other thing that stuck with me today was that we get more snow than the Arctic does. 3. The last, but not least thing that stuck with me today was the Inuit games. It was really interesting how challenging they were. The games were really strength directed. It was really cool trying to do real games that Inuit did. I loved the field trip today, it was so fun and educational!! I want to do more field trips like the one today.		Fiona
The Arctic has less snow then Ottawa.Green land dose NOT have trees.3 football files FULL of DOGS.		Kaleigh!!!!
The presentation stuck with me because I thought that his adventures were cool and I liked all the facts he gave me. The second thing that stuck with me was the Inuit games because I liked the mouth pull game. The third thing that stuck with me was the bread and the salmon outside because it was YUMMY! I hope that we do another field trip to another museum		Nils
what stuck with me was how there are more them 900,000 bugs in the world because it is so grouse and that their are around 8000,000 frogs because its so cool. And i cant forget about the awesome guy who did the drawing with too hands!!!!!		Madi
The bird with the feathery feet.And the facts about all the things in the scavenger hunt. Like polar bears cant hunt when the ice melts.Also the raw salmon.	Natapus likes the museum of nature.	Natapus

-I did n't know that the was only 4 stop sign in Greenland -this guy drew with 2 pencils -the museum was amazing and articablelissos -		Aaron McLeod
The Arctic games stuck with me today. I really enjoyed the leg wrestle game, and the mouth grabbing game. I also really liked the food, and i thought that the smoked salmon was AMAZING! Here is a poem that I wrote: Moose Standing tall And strong And proud He is a guardian of the forest He moves with grace Silent He disappears In the forest	NOPE.	Jack
What stuck with me today at the museum was the speech. I cant wait for when I am in high school so then I can do the Students On Ice program. I also learned that there is a place called "Disco Bay" and that trees cant grow in Greenland. I really liked the games they were really fun but they hurt!		Gabby
Here are my three things that stuck with me today 1- was the scavenger hunt because it was a good fun challenge to go around the museum. 2- what's also stuck with me was a cool fact it was the largest turtle in the prehistoric times was the Archelon. 3-I really liked the field trip because of all the exhibits and my behavior was good till the end	Museum of nature was so fun!	Thomas!
The four things that's stuck with me is, Italic has a population of only 80 people, polar bears skin is black, India used to have the biggest explosions and in Ilulissat they only have 4 traffic lights in the whole country!!!!!!!!		Hannah
I learned that there are only 4 traffic lights in the whole country of Greenland. -I learned that there is a town in Greenland that only has population 80. -We get more snow than the arctic. -There are around 900,000 insects living. -The foggiest place on earth is Grand banks (just off Newfoundland.) it has average 200 foggy days a year.	no!	Millie
What stuck with me was the fact that we have more snow than the arctic, how the man could draw with two hands, and that an island in greenland only has 80 people!	the mouth-pull game was AWESOME!	Camden
The museum, the food and the speech/slideshow was really entertaining and interesting		Miguel
today what stuck with me was the guy who drew us stuff.		Ellis
Wow, the trip to the museum was so fun, I didn't know that people from Greenland (Gronland) played soccer, and be good at it. The minerals and rocks area was awesome, you could make your own earthquake, oh I saw some "whales" in some of the exibits.		Johnny W. Kurelek III
everything	no	oceanna

Trip to the Civilization Museum - by Fiona

On Monday our class and Owen's class went on a field trip together to the Civilization Museum. At the museum we got to do 2 different workshops, Operation Pyramid and Music Works. We were split into 2 different groups, one group told a story from Nigeria and the other group played a bunch of different instruments from Indonesia. At the end of the day we got a chance to walk around the museum with a group and look at some different exhibits. My group went to the Grand hall to have a look at all the totem polls. When we were looking at a piece of art a guard came over to tell us a little but about the wall. He said it was part of an old house. We learned a really interesting fact. We learned how they made the red paint. The women would have to chew salmon eggs and then put it on the wall an that would be the colouring. The red paint was also used as a varnish, interesting fact, right?

Our First Field Trip: Hug a Tree - by Millie

So, we went to this place called the Wild Bird Care Centre and we played this game called "Hug a Tree" and it's where you get a partner and it's where you or your partner are blindfolded and they lead you around and take you to any tree they want. You have to feel the tree and you have to guess what type of tree it is. Lauren was my partner and she brought me WAY into the forest and I didn't know where we were and I tripped a couple of times.

Liam lost his glasses and everybody was looking for them and finally Shauna offered a reward to whoever found them and it was five dollars. So, then when everybody heard what Shauna had to say, they all went wild looking for the glasses, but Shauna said not to go wild because they could step on them!

But it turned out that Liam actually found the glasses, so he got five bucks!

Our First Field Trip: Feeding Black-Capped Chickadees - by Lauren

It was a LOOOOONG time ago....and it was cold a little bit, not that cold and the chickadees, I think they were saying, "Free food! No vending machines! Go ahead if you wish and look, let's stalk them!"

I got to feed about 127. It was kind of creepy. One was on my head. Actually, three were on my head at once! And they were playing with my hair, not something you want! And, Mel, she followed me around. The chickadees liked me better. It was weird.

Oh, wonderful Madi! And boys!

Kaleigh and Mike, looking at AWESOMENESS, a.k.a birds!

We're hiding, can you find us! Nevermind, they're boys, you can find them!

-by Lauren

Our First Field Trip: The Wild Bird Care Centre - by Daniel

Photo by Ethan

A long time ago, we went to the Wild Bird Care Centre. It was really nice being out in nature. Everybody was having fun feeding chickadees. I remember that I got to touch an owl's leg. I noticed the talons on it might be sharper than a knife. And there, it was the first time I've seen a bald eagle. And a turkey vulture.

-by Daniel

It's a giant bird wing.

It was a dead mous, it was to feed the owls.

Our First Field Trip: Working On (and In!) Our Forts - by Hunter

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, we went to some random trail on the Greenbelt. And we made forts!

Here's Liam and Miguel making our A-frame.

Here's my group working on our fort!

I thought we were really cooperative and worked well together!

I also thought the A-frame was a really cool idea.

Here's James sitting with a stick, kinda bored, I think!

Here's me doing my work. I look weird in that picture for some reason! I really like doing my work outside. I wish my class was always outside!

I'm holding a stick, I think I'm also bored!

Girls, sitting on the stick. Actually, that should be a log, because that looks more like a log than a stick.

And they're boys, sitting under a fort.
