Fort Langley and Firefighter Presentations

A big thanks to our first two parent presentations! Yesterday, Mrs. Banovich came dressed in 1800's clothing and shared lots of information about the Fort Langley historic site, trading, furs and gold panning. The students were excited to touch furs made out of a beaver, an otter and even a wolf!  She also gave each student a Fort Langley colouring book, storehouse craft, a free child's admission ticket and top hat (parents assembly required).

 

If you would like to visit Fort Langley, there is a Vive les Voyageurs Winter Festival happening this weekend, Sat. Jan 25 & 26th. Here is a link for more information http://www.pc.gc.ca/lhn-nhs/bc/langley/activ/activ2014.aspx#voyageurs

This morning we had Mr. Devine who shared information about his job as a firefighter. We learned about fire safety, emergency number 911 and clothing that firefighters wear to fight fires. The highlight was that students were able to try on the oxygen mask and show us their stop-drop-and roll! Great job students! I even tried to carry the oxygen tank - boy, that was heavy! Thanks again Firefighter Kevin for bringing us firefighter hats, tattoos and information booklets about fire safety at home!
