Hello, this is Earl Grey School, Room 27. We have been working on the Level up project. Our class understands that some people are less fortunate than us.  So we have been working in MINECRAFT about making Winnipeg more sustainable, affordable and a better place for everyone. Our class focused on more green spaces and less hunger along with homeless shelters, rooftop farming and more gardens. We have added more water fountains and more access to public parks and physical activities such as Baseball,Basketball and Tennis Courts. Our fellow classmates have also been working on houses, gardens, and elderly housing. Another problem we have been working on is good jobs and education for everyone like less expensive colleges or universities and more schools around the city. We believe that we have achieved the goals that we set for ourselves: no homelessness, hunger and no poverty. 

Let’s Build Winnipeg!

We live in an age where many of us are on screens, not many people are interacting with each other.  But at school we can see our friends and on field trips we can make new friendships with other people.  When it comes to field trips, they don’t always have to be educational. But do you consider learning how to make new friends educational?  Field trips do not always have to be about science, math or writing, it can also be about making learning more fun.  Experiences with other people can be educational and fun. Making memories is important too.  On field trips you can work on team building and exploring the world.  In my opinion, I think we should go on more field trips. If we stay in the classroom all of the time, kids might get bored of learning in the classroom.  Learning can be everywhere, not just in the classroom.  To sum up, I hope I convinced you to take us on more field trips.

P.S. Can we go to a water park because it is summer weather? Please?
