The Grade 6 class embarked on an adventure to the streets of Montreal.  We left Counterpoint early in the morning and drove to the Montréal Science Centre where we spent the morning and afternoon experiencing the marvels of science.  Our day started with the incredible Last Reef 3D Imax movie that was spectacular.  We had a quick lunch before heading off to two other areas to explore the wonders of science.  Arriving at our hotel in the afternoon, we took a break before heading out to the Metro where we took the train to Old Montreal.

The preschoolers enjoyed a visit from farmer, Nancy. She told them all about dairy cows, what they eat and how the farmer collects milk from cows. She read a story about a baby calf and told them how milk is really good for our bodies. The preschoolers are now cow experts!

Les élèves de la 3ième à la 6ième année se sont beaucoup amusés à la ferme Proulx! C'était un très beau matin d'avril, plein de toutes sortes d'activités. Les élèves ont appris le processus de la fabrication du syrop d'érable. Ils se sont régalés aussi en dégustant de délicieuses crêpes!
