ECS A Swimming & DQ

Time: All Day
Location: Rocky Pool

Gr 5 Fort Normandeau & Kerry Wood Nature Centre

Time: 9:00 am - 3:10 pm
Location: Red Deer, Alberta

Dear Parents,

Our grade 5 classes will be heading to Fort Normandeau and Kerrywood Nature Centre in Red Deer, AB to take part in two programs that are related to our Science and Social Studies curriculum. We will be starting the day at Kerrywood Nature Centre to explore the night sky during daylight hours with a mobile planetarium. Students will experience an in-depth exploration of the motion of the night sky and our place within the Universe as well as myths about the constellations in the sky. This ties in with our Astronomy unit in science. We will then head to Fort Normandeau and take part in the “Of Two Peoples” program where students will explore the unique culture and traditions of the Métis people through a lively fur trade game and other engaging activities. This ties in with our Social Studies curriculum. 

Important Info:

  • We will be leaving the school at 9:00 am and returning around 3:00 pm. 
  • Students will need to bring a bagged lunch as we will be having a picnic at Kerrywood in between the two programs. No microwave will be available.
  • Students will be required to wear appropriate outdoor clothing as both programs will take place primarily outdoors. This includes dressing for the weather and having study footwear (not crocs, or flip flops).
  • We will need to have a supervision ratio of 5 students per adult, so I am asking for 6 parents that are able to come and assist with chaperoning the students during these programs. Please note: there will not be room on the bus for parents as we will be near the maximum number with just the students. 


Thanks to our amazing parent council, the cost of the bussing and the program is 100% covered for students. Please fill out the following permission form and return it to the school by Friday, May 23, 2025.
