Tower, the Supreme Court, The Governor
General's Residence, the War Museum and

night the kids had anoather swim and pizza
was ordered afterward as a midnight snack.
Even after the late night they were up ear-
ly the next morning to pack, eat and get
ready for the long ride home following a tour
of the MacKenzie King Estate. A stop at
Pioneer Sports World in Kitchener for an
hour gave the students a break from the
long trip. The field trip finally ended at 10
p.m. Saturday and the students gratefully
went borne for sleep after an exhausting
Weekend.

Mr. Black and Mr. and Mrs. Kolkman for

The Bus Trip
By Karli Yanchus
On June 12, at 7:15 a.m., the Grade 5, 6,
and 7s met at the school to load up on the bus
to go to the Toronto Metro Zoo.
They were all divided into groups and
each group had a camera, because, besides
seeing all kinds of different plants and
animals, another purpose of the zoo trip was
to practise taking pictures, and to learn
about photography.
After a short break at a truck -stop, they
arrived at the zoo, gathered into groups, and
planned to meet at the American Pavillion
for lunch. Then they scattered, trying to see
as many of the exhibits as they could.
When they met for lunch, students quickly
finished Big Macs and went to see more
animals before meeting at the entrance of
the monorail for a ride.
On the monorail, they saw the part of the
zoo that had deer, wolves, moose, grizzly
bears and other animals.
After the monorail, the students loaded
onto the trusty bus. After stopping for sup-
per at McDonald's they set off for home.
Just outside of Petersburg, their "trusty
bus" broke down and they had to send for
another.
They finally arrived home at about 9 p.m.,
tired but happy. The classes extend a
special Thank you to their teachers and the
parent volunteers.
