We had a great day! On Friday, September 20th the grade 7/8 & 6/7 classes visited the corn maze on Wolfe Island. We boarded the ferry and set off for our adventure. The students had fun roaming around the top and bottom deck, reenacting the scene from Titanic, and getting splashed from the giant waves moving along the side of the ferry.
When we arrived at the Corn Maze, Garth greeted us and we did what any group of kids wants to do after a bus ride...we ate! Garth hooked the teachers up with walkie talkies and took Mrs. Leggett and I out into the middle of the maze to help you guys stay on track. I'll be honest, I was a little worried that I might have trouble finding my way out, that corn was pretty high! Group by group, you were released into the maze. Some of you had listened to Garth, and read the clues by the duck decoys, others just ran blindly though the maze. In the end you all made it out!
After we conquered the maze, we got to visit with some farm animals - I think that you might have named the male bunny "Mitch". Then we jumped into some "friendly" games. There was corn toss into certain targets. The girls narrowly lost to the boys, next time boys, next time. Next the kids were separated by grade and they participated in the longest corn toss competition. Terrance (our student from St. Lawrence had an unbelievable toss). It was pretty amazing to see how far some of you could toss a piece of corn. And the best part, I only had to duck out of the way from two stray pieces of corn that came my way.
We grabbed a little lunch, learned a little about the history of corn and then boarded the bus for home. As we waited for the ferry, we had a little time to wander down to the Wolfe Island Bakery and Corner Store for something sweet.
We had a great day, and it was the perfect way to spend a Friday! What was your favourite part of our day?
