Update on fieldtrip

Well, today was a long day for all. Although the organization of the event that we attended as a class was unsatisfactory, some enjoyed trying out a parkour relay race, face painting as well as some French music. We ended the day with a quick pit stop at Tim Hortons and some outdoor activity. 

We will brainstorm what we can do as a class next month in order to immersed ourselves even deeper into the French culture in Saskatchewan.

Rest well tonight :)
