Outdoor Class
The Grade Eight
classes recently went on
an outdoor education trip
td Camp Sylvan.
While we were there we
did a forestry study and
learned how to identify
different types of trees.
We also went to the old
Sylvan Cemetery to look
at some of the old tom-
bstones since we had
been studying about
pioneers in school. Some
of the tombstones we
, found dated back to the
late 1700's. We all felt like
pioneers when we slept
out in chuckwagons in a
bush.
We also learned about
the balance of nature and.
the food chain by playing
the game of Survival. It
became very real to us
when we played out in the
bush and acted as dif-
ferent animals. We found
out how animals feel
when they are being
hunted by man. We also
learned about 'weather
from a meteorologist.
Camp Sylvan was a
great experience for the
grade eight students. Not
Only was it a time for us
to get to know one
another better, a time for
learning about nature,
pioneer settlements,
orienteering and
weather, but it was a
fantastic outing when we
had a lot of fun learning
together.
We were kept so busy
we hardly had time to
mind the rain or the
freezing cold tem-
perature at night. I really
don't think we would
make very _good pioneers
but it was fun for
awhile.—by Lori Strong
