Today was a very exciting day for the Super Kids! We went to the Manitoba Museum and spent the day learning and exploring together. We were joined by two other multiage 1/2 classrooms from our school. What a day! We started out in the science gallery learning about the states of matter. We conducted experiments and impressed our group leader with what we knew. Then it was off to explore. Kids built cars and raced them, explored the mirror room, and pulled themselves up on the pulley chairs.

After lunch, we went to our second program of the day where we learning about our community of Winnipeg, Manitoba. We learned about how Winnipeg was settled, the Indigenous people who lived here and the first settlers to come to this area. The kids were rock stars! They made comments and answered questions with enthusiasm. Next, we broke up into small groups with our amazing parent volunteers and we were off to explore our museum. The kids loved the dinosaur exhibit and looking at the fossils of dinosaurs that once lived in Manitoba. Another highlight was the Nonsuch ship that is found in the museum. The kids were allowed to board the ship and learned that the museum was built around it. The kids came back to the school exhausted! It was a great day learning in our community. A big thanks to the parent volunteers that joined us. The Super Kids loved the day.
After exploring all day at the museum, what do you want to learn more about?
We would like to make the “Gak” that the leader made with one of our Super Kids. He gave us the recipe and we are making it on Thursday!
It was a great day filled with so much fun and learning!
We had a great time! Thank you for making the book for our class. We read it today and loved the pictures of our activities. It was a big hit!
I especially loved hearing a few kids say, ” I love this place” ” best field trip ever”
Great bunch of kids you have there!
That looked like so much fun. What was the favourite activity at the museum?
We voted today and it was had to decide! We loved the pulley chairs, making cars, and the Nonsuch. The presentations were interesting and we loved the science.
