Division 3 and 6 visited Beaver Creek at Stanley Park for a recent field trip. The older students from Ms. Watson's class assisted Ms. Young's class for the final step of the Salomonids in the Classroom Program. http://www.salmonidsintheclassroom.ca
They have been raising coho salmon eggs in a special school aquarium since January and have seen them grow into the alevin stage and into larger fry. Equipment was purchased with a grant from the Environmental Managers Association of BC http://www.emaofbc.com. As young aquatic stewards, the Kindergarten/ Grade 1 students have learned all about the salmon lifecycle and have now released the coho salmon fry into the wild. These little fish will continue their journey and grow into smolts and then adults as they head out to the ocean and eventually return to spawn to lay more eggs.
