Jericho Beach Field Trip

Only 2 more days of school and for our second to last day, I had a field trip. Ms. Skinner took both Kindergarten classes to Jericho Beach for a fun morning. Lots of Mommies and a few Daddies came too.

When we left the school at 9:15, it was pouring rain. Mommy wasn't too sure about going on this field trip but I told her I knew it would stop raining soon (I am trying to be a famous TV weatherman so I know lots about this kind of stuff). I told her that I could tell the sun is trying to come out. By the time we got to the beach it had almost stopped raining!

Once our base camp was set up, we headed to the beach for a sandcastle building contest. We brought so many things to the beach but the one thing we forgot was my sand toys. Oh well, Mommy helped me collect some shells and I built a tall tower. We even found a big piece of wood to make a draw bridge. The sand was nice and wet so everything stuck together nicely.


After playing in the sand, we had a snack break. I also had to change out of my boots and into my Crocs because I decided to go into the ocean and my boots flooded. My feet and socks were swimming inside my boots!

After our snack, Ms. Skinner took us on a Nature Walk. We walked past the duck pond where some tiny, tiny, baby ducks were swimming. They were SOOOO cute! We also saw a beaver post - I'd never seen one before.


Then we headed up the hill and walked in the forest a little bit. We discovered tiny frogs in the grass and heard lots of different kinds of birds.


Our final stop on the nature walk was at the bridge that crosses the duck pond. Ms. Skinner had told us to collect two small sticks so we could play Pooh Sticks. That was a nice surprise. I liked playing Pooh Sticks when Aunty Elaine taught me how in Calgary.


Unfortunately, by the time we got back to our base camp, my feet were cold and wet again. Crocs aren't very good for going on a soggy nature walk. Mommy dried my feet and wrapped them up in a towel while I ate my lunch. I felt much better after that but I was still feeling cold so didn't feel like going on the Scavenger Hunt. Mommy and I decided to go home a little early so I could have hot shower to warm up.

The field trip was a little soggy and not so sunny and warm but I had lots of fun and can't wait for more trips to the beach this summer.
