Roderick Review (Week 6) 10/3/16-10/7/16

This week, our sixth graders were at Camp Bournedale in Plymouth, MA to spend time as scientists in the field.  There was also plenty to time to join together with classmates and their teachers to have some fun as well!  In the pictures below you will see a few of the different activities that the students were involved in including rocketry, marine lab, and pond study.  Students on the boat during the pond study were conducting a few water tests and there are also a few photos during recreation time as well as dinner and journal time before the evening activities.

A special thank you to the Camp Bournedale coordinators, Mrs. Moon and Miss White as well as ALL of our many staff and parent chaperones.  I am grateful that so many of the adults within our community come together to make this adventure possible for our students.  Thank you also to the Holly Club, The Lions Club, and the WTA for sponsoring several student scholarships as well!
