Urban and Rural

On Wednesday the Grade 3’s boarded a bus and headed to Toronto’s city core to explore our urban community from 553.33 meters high up in the sky.  As we travelled up the elevator of the CN Tower in a mere 56 seconds, we were on a mission to discover the special features of our city. From the observation deck we could see other tall buildings, beautiful parks, traffic and transportation; we even tried to find Crestwood School.  From there, we jumped on the bus again and explored Toronto’s famous Riverdale Farm.  We noticed that the farm is a representation of what a rural community would look like.  There were farm animals, barns, a silo, tractors working, and lots of open space to run and play in. Our Grade 3 students noted that Ontario provides people with a wonderful place to live, work, and play no matter if you live in the country or the city.
