Fun Field Trip to Rum Point

As Mrs. Morgan prepares to go on maternity leave, Grade 3 thought it would be fun to head to Rum Point for a day of fun in the sand, surf and sun!  Here’s a look at what we did.

Some of the students made a new game called Baket, a combination of cricket and baseball!

Field Trip to Queen Elizabeth Botanical Gardens

Grade 3 took a tour of the Queen Elizabeth Botanical Gardens as part of our Social Studies Inquiry unit on Cayman Heritage.  We had a guided tour of the Blue Iguana program and then a tour of the native gardens.  We learnt lots and had a great time!
