Division 4 Field Trip: HR McMillan Space Centre

 A.R. Lord Grade 3 & 4 students made a recent trip to the HR McMillan Space Centre.  The morning started off with a bus ride from the school over to the museum located in Kitsilano. They had a chance to walk through the exhibits and try on the space suit as well as watch the Star Theatre show on the solar system.  They learned about the Milky Way, the stars, the plants and the moon. 




They participated in the interactive "A Day in Space" presentation where they demonstrated how astronauts eat and have meals in a zero gravity environment.  

Funding for this field trip was paid in part by monies donated by the Parent Advisory Council through fundraising activities.  Additional classroom funds have been provided to each division to offset costs for extra educational materials, field trips and activities.
