Human Rights Museum

The Resource Room and Mini Gym children took a tour of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights.  They were taught about the basic human rights that all people entitled to and taken on walk through the museum to explore a few of the galleries.  

We had some extra time at the end of our tour so a few of our children decided to hike all the way up to the 8th floor for a photo op.  

Boston Pizza

We had quite an adventure with the theatre group.  We took the city bus to Boston Pizza where the owner, Jon taught the children all about what happens behind the scenes at a restaurant.  

         

And then on to the good stuff...

And boy was it good!

Outdoor Challenge Day 4: Sport Manitoba and Water Fun Day

We had the BEST day!  

Outdoor Challenge: Resource Room

The kids of the Resource Room have been busy exploring in the park.  They began their adventure hunting through the woods looking for sticks to build forts, which very quickly turned into a hunt for berries.  

And of course we had to give Ms. Cari a proper send off the best way we know how.  

Silly face selfies!

Today the children tried their hand at some photography at the duck pond.  If you ask me I think we have a few budding photographers on our hands.

Outdoor Challenge Day 3: National Hot Dog Day

As luck would have it, today just so happened to be National Hot Dog Day, so our timing for our Outdoor Challenge bonfire couldn't have been timed better.  You might have thought to yourself, but the weather was cold, and let me tell you as someone who stood over a bonfire in +45 degrees last year, today was perfect.

You'll have to ask your children if they enjoyed the hot dogs because they ate them so fast we were only able to get one quick picture, however we gave them all a chance to roast their own marshmallows so we got them standing still long enough to capture those smiling faces.  

YUM!

Outdoor Challenge Day 2: Brody's Berry Hunt

Yesterday during the nature walk with Barret, one of our children Brody seemed to take a particular interest in the different berries that could be found around the park.  In fact he spent the remainder of the afternoon hunting through the forest with a bucket picking all the berries he could find.  

The other children seemed to take notice because by this morning Brody had formed a berry search party and by the afternoon most of the children could be found wandering through the grassy areas with buckets of berries.  

*Please note that the children have been given strict instructions to not eat any of the berries that they find.*  

< "I think this is an acorn berry.  No, I think it's an onion"

"These are snow berries" >

We will keep you posted with the progress of this project.  I feel like there is still a lot of great exploring to come.  

Outdoor Challenge Day 2: Henna in the park

Ms. Shila dazzled us yet again with her amazing artistic abilities as she free handed a few incredible henna designs on the children.  Here is just just a glimpse of her work.
