Wascana Marsh

Last week we were very fortunate to attend a fieldtrip to Wascana Marsh. The weather was absolutely fabulous. When we boarded the bus at school, we were all very excited! Once we arrived at the Marsh, Louise (our outdoor ed consultant) challenged us to be like rabbits and go exploring off the path. Louise taught us many interesting facts about spruce trees, wild plants, animal scat and animal/bird habitats. The highlight of the day was getting to visit the Water Fowl Sanctuary. Once inside the sanctuary, Louise taught us about the birds the sanctuary housed over the winter. We learned information about pelicans, geese, swans, and ducks. The best part of the sanctuary was watching Louise throw a fish into the pelican enclosure and seeing how the pelican was able to swallow it whole. We were excited that such amazing birds lived in our city. Take a look at the videos below to see our exciting adventure.
