The only thing she can remember is being afraid to go to the top of the Lighthouse! I was not afraid.    M.R.Norway P.S.

"I would really like to thank you for being so kind to us. I thought it was a super duper fun experience and if I could come back I would.

I would like to thank the lunch ladies for providing us with food and the food was great."   V.D.Hawthorne P.S.

 

"I’m writing to say that I had an amazing time at the island school. Our teacher told us that the government was closing down outdoor education centres. i think this is terrible because outdoor ed centres are very important and I would hate to see the island school closed. Anyways, on to the good stuff. I have to say, my favourite activity was either biodiversity, mini-olympics or predator and prey. I can’t decide because they were sooo fun!"      S. Hawthorne P.S.

 

 "I really enjoyed your program and I hope you never have to go. I really loved doing biodiversity because you got to learn/see where animal’s habitats are. I really enjoyed feeding the chickadees."      N. Hawthorne P.S.

 

"In the island school, I had a lot of fun. I learned a lot of new things. Also I got to try new things too, like feeding birds, going to a lighthouse and going on the night hike, because I liked the view. It was fab."    V. Essex P.S.

 

"Thank-you very much for showing us so many amazing things about nature. I particularly liked how the small chickadees came to feed from our hands. It was a bit freaky at first, but I got used to it. You kept us busy from the moment we got up to the moment we went to bed. I liked that because I was not bored for one moment. I even dreamt about the Island School. My favourite part was the lighthouse."    L.S. Bowmore P.S.
