Trip to Etobicoke Field Studies Centre

On May 8, 2007 Ms. Legault's class and Ms. Borselli's class went to the Etobicoke Field Studies Center to learn about habitats. It took about 10-20 minutes by bus to get there. At first we met all the staff then we changed our shoes. We then went up the stairs for a talk. After, in that room, we explored and we saw a turtle and a guinea pig. We also saw many real animals like a deer and a raccoon. After a talk about habitats we went back down stairs for our snack of oranges. It was then time to go outside to walk through the forest. We then made a cool habitat for a chipmunk with sticks, leaves, pinecones and snail shells. Later we went back to eat lunch. I got to roast a hot dog over the fire. We then got to roast marshmallows. After lunch we went into a room to read a story, then it was back outside to catch bugs in a net. My partner was Sophia. It was lots of fun and we learned a lot. Then it was time to go. We went back and got everything. The bus ride back was bumpy and fun. By Danielle
