April In Guelph

We just spent the last 3 days at an outdoor center not far from our school. The program was called Earthkeepers. The camp is called Camp Edgewood. There are cabins in the woods, streams, meadows and many paths leading through the forest. We had a  lot of fun with each other and another class. Only 14 other classes from the whole area get to go to this beautiful spot. We will send pictures once we get them uploaded..We learned many things about the earth and how to keep it running and how to preserve it.

  5. Hey Hey Jens! Earthkeepers was so fun! We all got to make nature names on a necklace nametag. Mine was Sunshine. Every day we had new activites to do. My favourite activite was EM's diary walk. We went on a walk around the whole camp. Our group leader even found a snake. Eww,I hate snakes! Other than that the walk was great. At the end of every day the kitchen crew would give us the cookies they made. On the last day we had a campfire and roasted marshmallows! There was the earthkeepers song that went like this:

    My back aches, my belts to tight. My hips shake from left to right. Saying ooh ughowa earthkeepers got the power. Saying bang bang choo choo train wind me up and I'll do my thing. No Reese's Peices no buttercup Earthkeepers gonna kick your butt!

    Anyway,if you have any questions about earthkeepers just ask me. Write me back.

  7. Hello friends in Holland,
    Just yesterday our class was at an amazing field trip!!! We went to Earth Keepers. Earth Keepers is an organization run by grade 10 students.It was really fun because we got to go on hikes and we also got two out of four KEYS to becoming an Earth Keeper. The KEYS are four different keys that unlock different boxes in order uncover the secrets of being an Earth Keeper.To be an Earth Keeper you have to help the earth by not using as much electricity and water. At Earth Keepers we also found magic spots. A magic spot is where you can relax and enjoy what is around you. After Earth Keepers we found our own magic spots in our own forest beside our school. Have you done any ecxiting field trips in your school year? Post me back!!!

The helpers are grade 10 students from high school in a program called C.E.L.P. They were all really enthusiastic and excited to teach us about nature and the outdoors. The whole program is run by a MAGICAL INVISABLE nAMED E.M One activity we got to go on E.M's diary walk. We went on a walk using E.M's diary as instructions on were to go. I learned a lot about nature and how to treat it with care and I had a lot of fun doing it. We all got to make our own Nature Names. Mine was Goose. Does your class go on field trips? Were have you guys gone? WRITE BACK!!!!

  18. Hey its Neyy

    Earthkeepers was really fun.On the last day we had marshmallows cooked over the fire.But the bad part of it is I burned mine.The kitchen staff there were really nice they made us cookies at the end of each day.On the first day we made cool nature names. The nature names we made up we wrote on a piece of wood which had a small hole at the top so we could put string through and make a necklace. On the first day we each found our own magic spots. The magic spots were where we all wrote in a diary they gave us at the beggining of the day.Do you guys have alot of nature trips?

  23. Vas Happening? Last week we went to the zoo! Yay! My group was with sassy and Anne. We had alot of fun! My favourite animals there was the gorillas. They were so cute!
    I am obsessed with this band called One Direction and was doing this challenge. Part of it was every time I saw a cat i had to yell pussy. So whenever I saw a wild cat at the zoo people probably thought I was a freak. But I am for that band so it's ok. What are you doing at your school? We are finishing learning about biodiversity. Any way write back soon.

  26. Hello holland!!!
    It's Michaela and our class went on an awesome field trip!!! We saw lot of animals including jellyfish, komodo dragons, snakes and monkeys!!! We also adopted a penguin there!!! His name is D.J. and he is an African penguin. Some dived underwater and we saw the swim,through the underwter viewing... it was really cool!!!But out of the whole trip I think the elephants were the best part. They are going to be leaving the zoo, to a sanctuary in California, so our class wanted to see them before they left so it was kind of fun!!!

  28. Hi its miranda. We went to the zoo about a week ago but when we got off the bus there was a creepy guy staring at me and my friends it was funny. It was lots of fun we got to see all sorts of cool animals. But i was sad because the naked mole rats were closed. My favourite animal was the polar bears and the little baby polar bear was the cutest thing ever. I also liked all the other animals to. We got to watch the penguins when they were feeding them. It was really fun and i had a really good time.
