A fabulous time at Camp Arnes!

Wow! I had a blast at Camp Arnes, and I know all the Grade 5s did too! We were busy every single moment! A BIG thank you to Mr. Anderson, Mr. Tustin, and Mr. Krenz for joining us for the adventure. We really appreciated your help, expertise, and energy over the last few days! I am so pleased that the weather was amazing . . . especially after looking at not-so-nice forecasts before we left! We didn't have a single drop of rain! Yay!

It was really funny on Thursday morning when we all saw each other at school . . . everyone was sharing their "souveniers" from camp (which included: bumps, bruises, scratches, mosquito bites, and LOTS of stories).

Here are some favourite memories from everyone in Room 31. Please look for the students' camp writing up on Kidblog!

Abbey - My favourite memory was the pool, archery, and the walk on the lake! It was so beautiful on the lake. I wish we were still at camp!

Adam - My favourite memory is zip lining because it was the highest thing at camp!

Archery

Aimie - My favourite memory is zip lining, archery, challenge course - high ropes, and the walk to the lake. We saw a dead fish cut open.

Andrew - My favourite memory at Camp Arnes was when we went to the corrals. I found their baby kitten and I called it, and it came to me.

Angela - My favourite memory of Camp Arnes was the Instincts for Survival game. I was partners with Aria and we were omnivores and we both survived the great wilderness!

Ms. Wasney got really muddy!

Aria - My favourite part of camp was Instincts for Survival game. For some reason, it seemed like it was the Hunger Games! I was an omnivore and I survived the attack of the animals!

Brett - My favourite memory was the Instincts for Survival game. I was an omnivore.

Caeden - My favourite memory of Camp Arnes is when I went on the zip line because it was my first time on a zip line.

Dobie - My favourite memory of Camp Arnes is the Zip Line because they said you could turn and go backwards. And I tried it and it was so fun!

Jaedan MV - My favourite memory is when we got to go to the lake.

Jason - My favourite memory of camp was playing Instincts for Survival. It was awesome!

Karley - My favourtie part was when we went zip lining and archery.

Matt P - My favourtie part was making the fire and bannock.

Sydney - My favourite activities were fire and bannock, zip lining, and EVERYTHING!

Tyler - My favourite memory was everything and the food was awesome. I want to go again!

Ms. Claydon - My favourite memory from camp was the archery! All the activities were so much fun, and all the kids were so great; so supportive of one another!

Challenge Course: aka - High Ropes

Ms. Wasney - I loved seeing the students get out of their comfort zone and into their "challenge zone"! I was so impressed with their bravery . . . especially on the high ropes and zooming down the zip line! It was awesome when they cheered one another on!

Camp Arnes Fundraiser!

Thanks to Matthew P for helping me sort through 185 reusable snack bags today! The Grade 5s were invited to participate in a fundraiser with Colibri, a MB based business, to help with the cost of attending Camp Arnes in June. The students that chose to sell the snack bags will have their camp fees reduced by a portion, depending on their sales. As a result of their excellent sales skills, 2 students are heading to camp for FREE! Wow!

Great job Adam and Matthew P!

Just a reminder that a $65 deposit is due on Friday, March 20th.

Thanks for supporting this fundraiser . . . especially all the staff that placed orders!  :)

Camp Arnes!

On Monday, September 17th, we headed off to Camp Arnes for 3 fun-filled days! Luckily, the weather cooperated for the majority of our time there. We were busy, busy, BUSY! We enjoyed many daytime activities, such as; Climbing Wall, Cooperative Games & Initiative Tasks, High Ropes, Instincts for Survival Game, Orienteering, and the popular Zip Line! In the evening, we had a Hayride, Fire & Bannock, Human Foosball, Inflatable Arena, and lots of outdoor choices for Free Time. It was such a fun experience! Hope you enjoy the video!
