Spring School Field Trips

Scott was very fortunate to join the children and their classmates on St. Vincent de Paul field trips. Ty and his grade 2 class went to the Glenbow Museum, Kyle and his grade 4 class went to the Calgary Zoo, and Tait and her grade 6 class went to the Calgary Police Service – Interpretative Centre.

The Glenbow Museum is an art and exhibits as well as hands-on activities that primarily focus on the history and development of the northwestern North America. Ty´s class was also studying the Inuits.

The Calgary Zoo is the second largest zoo in Canada. The Calgary Zoo's facilities are considered to be world-class. The featured animal exhibits are organized by geographic region in large, realistic, and natural enclosures. A botanical gardens and a prehistoric park (dinosaurs) are also featured. Kyle´s group name was the Wild Turkeys.

As stated on the CPS webpage, “Sometimes fun and exciting, sometimes startling and heart-wrenching, the interactive exhibits at this one-of-a-kind police museum deal with the consequences of crime and the role of the police. The Calgary Police Service Interpretive Centre focuses on youth, and each display offers important messages about the realities of life, crime and law enforcement.” Tait and her friends also had to solve a crime they had been working on in class over the past few weeks.
