Day 59: Portia J, Student, Mountain Park School

I enjoy learning, but when I was trying to think about what I have learned lately, I wasn't too sure what to write about. I’ve realized that as a student at Mountain Park School (MPS), I have had many fun and enjoyable opportunities for learning. For example, I went on two overnight band trips to Banff to improve my technique for playing the flute. I also went on a trip where we flew to Ottawa and then travelled to Montréal and Québec City. This taught me a lot about a different culture and language (specifically French). Overnight trips are probably my favourite because you have so much time to learn, and as well, you go to sleep and wake up to keep learning about that one topic.

Some of my favourite core subject field trips included: rafting down the Bow River on ‘River Watch’ to learn about water quality, going to the zoo to learn about biodiversity, going to a sushi restaurant to learn about Japanese culture, and watching a radio show (play) to learn about short stories. These field trips were all a great way to either start a new unit or end one. Unfortunately, there have been no field trips for math!

Probably one of the best field trips I took was when I went to ‘We Day’. It was a very inspiring day filled with amazing people and musicians including Craig Kielburger and Spencer West. I cannot wait for more field trips to come this year and for the great learning experiences that accompany them. Learning at MPS will always be exciting and cool.

Portia is a Grade 9 student. She plays the guitar, does gymnastics, enjoys arts & crafts, healthy eating, working out & the beach! Her favourite subjects are Math, English & Band.
