The students at Vavenby Primary School went by bus to the Clearwater ski hill on Friday, Jan. 27. Skis were provided at the hill and instructors taught them how to ski.
One student said that she didn't do the "pizza" - how to stop. She said that she dug the side of her ski into the snow instead.
When asked what their favorite part was some said skiing down the mountain, others said going up on the T-bar, and a few said seeing a boy do the splits when he fell. Most of the children want to go back next year.
Learning about fish
The school has salmon fry again in an aquarium. The students take turns feeding them four times a day. The children were told that they should give each fry a name. That's a lot of names.
