Our City Uncovered trip

On the 3rd of May our class went into the city for our Big Day Out Scavenger hunt.

Our groups each had a parent helper.

We all enjoyed Our City Uncovered trip, it was a great experience.

For most of us it was the first or second time looking at all the beautiful buildings.

We started off at the Provincial Building with our teacher for the day, Ben. He got us thinking about the role of the City Council. Then we went exploring our wonderful city. At each stop we had to listen to some information and talk about the building or site that we were at. Some of these places were, the Art Centre, the Bridge of Remembrance, Victoria Square, the Cathedral, Antigua boat shed and Rhododendron Island.

After lunch we spent the afternoon designing a city of our own. In groups we had to think about key aspects of a city such as water supply, sewage, electricity, emergency services etc and we could also add some exciting things of our own such as theme parks, museums and movie theatres.

Sadly after our trip we had to go back to school.

Thank you for all the very helpful volunteer parents and all the people who helped organise our trip.
