Field Trip Day!


What a great day for a field trip!

All ready for our Exchange walking tour!
Here are the first few stops on our tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared so many great stories about Winnipeg's history.
We learned about the Winnipeg General Strike on our tour and saw the alley of the infamous "Bloody Saturday."
We also got to go inside the Pantages Theatre and learn about Pantages himself, and how many believe he still haunts the theatre to this day.
Next up was lunch! I don't think Smoke's Poutinerie has ever been so busy!
Also, as part of the Winnipeg Jazz Festival, there was free performance on the Cube stage in Old Market Square, so we all had a chance to enjoy some great music while we ate!
We started our afternoon with a guided tour in the Manitoba Museum and explored the Nonsuch (aka: the big pirate ship), too.
We ended our day in the Science Centre and had so much fun exploring and being silly, too!

All students were great ambassadors of our school and even received recognition from the 
Exchange Tours guides complementing them on their respectfulness and enthusiasm! 
Way to go, Knights! :)


P.S. Our class was divided into two groups for the day, with one group starting in the Exchange and the other group starting at the Manitoba Museum with M. d'Auteuil. We all met up for lunch in Old Market Square before switching activities in the afternoon. Unfortunately, that means I only got photos of half our class... but I do know that the other group also had a great time with both activities and had fun spending the day with M. d'Auteuil, too! :)
