We are excited about our field trip this Friday, We are traveling to Crooked Valley which is part of the Qu'Appelle Valley (http://www.virtualsk.com/current_issue/valley_of_legend.html). The theme of the trip is 'Hunters & Gatherers.' At Crooked Valley there remains a site that was once used by First Nations people to herd bison over a 10 metre cliff as part of their hunting process. This site has not been used as a jump for approximately 200 years.
We will be examining the geography and geology of the area as well, we will be searching for bison bones at the bottom of the cliff. During the day we will be doing archery, taking a nature hike, playing traditional games and learning about First Nations people.
Students will be packing a lunch, water and depending on the weather, hot chocolate.
Wish us good luck for great weather,
Ms. B
p.s. Here's a short video of the Crooked Valley area in the winter.

I am a bit sad that we are not going to go to the trip because it was all muddy there
