I’m back. My class has a different program to most people. We use iPads for most of our work and get field studies. What is that. It’s basically taking a small and packed bus with your class for a week somewhere. Instead of being in a normal class, that week we explore outside, go to museums and interact real life with what you’re learning. You’re putting things that you learned into real life.
We were asked to still work a lot, except it’s not as bad when you’re on a trip. One of the big things we had to do was make a book about the trip. It wasn’t even that hard but it was long. If you want to read it, just click on it right down here. It’ll describe the trip better than this.
Anyways, every year for the past 4 years or so they take the grade 8 class to the coast of Oregon. It’s one of those trips you’ll never forget and you get to know every one else a whole lot better. Especially after having to sleep in the same room with some of your pals.
Usually it rains a lot there. My friend Jason bought a shirt with the Grumpy Cat and it said “I went to Oregon once, it rained.” Luckily for us we didn’t get much rain.
The food there was great, but when you’re on a field trip it’s usually going to be good. We ate at DQ, Pig’N Pancake, Cabela’s, Nisa’s Thai and a lot of other places. We went to a chain buffet called the Golden Corral, man, was it good. It had cotton candy and a chocolate fountain. The breakfast kind of got repetitive and I’m used to something a bit different at home. We went zip lining, and on a boat tour.
While we were on the boat, our net pulled some eggs that even our science teacher who studied marine biology and the marine biologist guide had no idea what it was. The shells were like translucent rubber.
We also stopped at big department stores occasionally and we had, let’s say, little adventures. You could check things out and “test” couches.
The scenery was amazing. You’re just driving on the highway 100 meters above the water, and you can see the big waves that start from way out. Here are a few pictures.
That about wraps it up in the post. Like I mentioned before, the book has more pictures and certain descriptions about things we did. It also might have reflections.
