Animated History Fieldtrip

                                                  The Epic Journey Of Joseph                                                                  

On November 27, 2012, the younger class and some homelearners went on a fieldtrip to the Vancouver Museum.

It was a workshop!!! When we went in, we went into a special part of the building, and then we got shown an intro and a demo. After that, we got put into groups and were handed a scene. We started making little people out of paper and stickytack, and backgrounds and a whole load of stuff all out of PAPER!!!
                                                                                                  
Then after we made our sets, we went to a desk with a camera and computer. All we had to do then was take pictures and slightly move the props and characters in the scene.

Then we took a break one by one and ate lunch. Then we went back to the room and were handed another scene.

After we finished our second scene, each group went and did sound effects (crashes, voices, booms, etc.).

Then after that, we made little flip books with folded paper, and a pencil to move it. Look up for movie.

                                     The End!!!

IDLC field trip

We went on the aquarium aqua lab IDLC field trip,  first we held hermit crabs.
This is a tank of sea animals that look like plants, the tube things on the right are tube worms.

A closed sea anemone. The white things in the picture above are also sea anemones.

This is me holding a sea urchin. This sea urchin has just been put in the water and it is starting to stick out it's purple legs, but when it is out of the water it looks green or gray.

Then we did experiments with hermit crabs and wrote down the results.

The hermit crabs where in plastic bins.

We watched the beluga show.




We saw a dolphin throwing a pice of meat in the air and catching it again (over and over).


This is my friend wondering why there are two different types of jellies in one tank.

We looked at the sting rays.

This is the golden tree frog.

This is a boa constrictor.

This is a arapaima.


These are bats eating bananas.

This is a sloth. (awake for once!)

                                                
These are monkeys, the mother monkey (saving the baby's worm from predators) baby monkey (eating the worm) and Mr. steal (trying to steal the worm).

These are the parrots.
                                                              

                                                         It was a very fun field trip!
