6th Grade Takes Trip to Bray Conservation Area

Bray Conservation is a 132 acre park where people can go to hike, fish, and do many other adventurous things. Last month, on September 13, the 6th grade class went to Bray Conservation Area. We interviewed some of the 6th graders, including Maci H, Trinity V, and Mason H. We asked them some questions and sent them on their way. “The activities we did were macroinvertebrates, water testing, and fishing,” said Trinity. Her favorite part of the field trip was fishing, and her least favorite part was the weather; she said it was very cloudy and not much fun with the cold shadows over everything. 

“The water testing one was interesting, because I fell into the river,” says Maci, talking about her favorite parts of the trip. 

“I wish I could’ve caught more fish,” she says about what she would have changed about the trip. 

“I would’ve gone on a hike,” says Mason. “There was a stream table, which was cool,” he also said. A stream table is like a replica or a diorama of a stream, creek, or river on top of a table. Coming from some of the kids, the weather seemed to be sunny and cloudy.

We asked Mrs. Fischer, the science teacher, the reason she brought the kids to Bray. Her words were, “I wanted to get the kids out of the classroom because it would be a more fun way instead of just reading out of a book.” Overall, Bray is a fun, educational place to visit. The 6th graders seemed to enjoy it.
