Today was a good day with the Sea to Sky crew at Camp Elphinstone and Gambier Island. At first some seemed disappointed by the rain but it proved to be of little consequence for everyone had a good time in spite of the weather. Actually, the rain let up for most of the day so it was not a big deal anyway. I don't know about the other canoes, but there was a lot more water coming into the boat by way of splashing paddles than liquid sunshine. While on Gambier we had the chance to pick the activity we wished to do: some studies the inter-tidal zone, others went up a creek while a third group hiked up a big hill to achieve a view of the surroundings. Thanks to all of the parent drivers; once again the parents came through for Division Two!
Tomorrow is the grade 7s' leaving ceremony. Here is the shape of the day:
09:00 - 10:45 - non-instructional time for catch-up activities such as finishing art projects
10:45 - 11:30 - rehearsal - all grade 7s are required to attend but need not be dressed in their good clothes.
11:30 - 12:30 - time to dress and primp hair etc.
12:30 - 1:00 - last minute details, visiting the washroom, etc.
1:00 - 2:15 - leaving ceremony (ending time is approximate)
2:15 - grade 7s are dismissed and parents take over for a planned beach activity.
I'm looking forward to a wonderful day, tomorrow and thanks for a wonderful day, today.
