EATING LOCALLY CLASS LUNCH – FRIDAY, JUNE 3RD
We are finishing up the agriculture portion of our BC’s Natural Resources unit this week and we have been focusing on agriculture in the Fraser Valley and more specifically, eating locally. We would like to end this section of our unit by enjoying a local meal together. I thought the best way to do this would be to assign students different items to bring and then we will have a ‘potluck style’ meal together.
This is a great time of year to have a local meal as many of our fruits and vegetables are coming in to season. It is ideal if the food we are bringing is from BC – if that is proving difficult, then from Canada would be the next best thing. I have chosen foods that I think we should be able to find at our local grocery store or some place like Hoffstead’s. If you are having some difficulty then please send me an email and we can figure out an alternative.
If there is anyone who would like to come in around 11:30 and help set up (and stay for lunch, of course), please let me know.
Thank you for helping me with this! I really appreciate it!

We are looking forward to our field trip to Science World on Friday! The students will wear their regular uniforms and should bring a bag lunch that does not need to be heated. There is a gift store if the students would like to make a purchase but this is totally optional.
Students will need to be at school at 7:45 and should return around 3:30 if traffic is smooth sailing.
I am looking forward to an amazing field trip! This is one of my favourite places!
