Ah! Le Memories Fantastique!
During the summer, I won’t be writing as much but will try to add some thoughts and fun things throughout the weeks. So keep checking back to see what I find!

The Mystery of Oak Island
On an island off the coast of Nova Scotia, there is something hidden. Nobody know what or who hid it but something is there at the bottom of a pit that no one can get too. Stones with clues, log floors built every 10 metres, coconut fibres, traps that fill the pit with water from the ocean. . . these are just a few of the things to be found on Oak Island.
As part of our writing today, students took a look at the things that pirates stole or plundered. As we learned, most times it was not gold, silver and other precious metals. Most times it was plain ordinary things that the pirates needed. However, there are lots of stories, myths and legends concerning buried treasure and one of them is about a hole on a little island off the coast of Nova Scotia.
Here is some info and videos. I also included a couple of links to find out more!

Thank You and More Fieldtrip Fun!
I just wanted to give a great big thank you to the students and Mrs. Goosen for the wonderful birthday surprise. We will put some pictures up soon but I just wanted to say that the cake was probably the most magnificant cake I have ever seen. It was a truly delicious treasure chest full of delectable treats. It was simply amazing. Mrs. Goosen is amazing and we are all very blessed to have her in our class. Her generosity and giving nature are always evident. It was a great surprise and I wanted to just thank Mrs. Goosen and the students for their kindness. It was a lot of fun. I know Siena will love the balloon sword!
Here are some more pictures and video from the wonderful fieldtrip that we had.
And here’s a fun one for you. Our class all got on the boat and learned the words to this song and made a video. Our friend Andrew is playing the Pirate King in the video here with all the rest of the students acting as the pirates!
