K2 UISG Newsletter Week of 16 March 2015

Last week we had a great time on our

transportation field trip. Even though it was a rainy
day we still got many opportunities to see all kinds
of transport being used in our community. We also
got to use the bus, ferry and metro train. Due to
the rain we came back to school for our lunch and
had some time to play in our playground. Thank
you to our parent volunteers who came with us on
the field trip. Without them we would not have had
such a successful outing.
