Good morning

Well I promised you rocks and I am going to give you a site to learn more about them, Rocks for Kids.   To learn more about BC's minerals please visit this site.  Yesterday we were trying to sketch the natural geography of our school, you may find this site interesting and helpful for learning about Vancouver's natural geography.  But travelling a little farther away I have a picture here of one of the most famous rocks in the world.  Can you find out what it is and where it is???



Now a bit more on that province sometimes called The Rock, Newfoundland.  I am planning to begin reading Charlie Wilcox today and I would like you to visit Brigus where the story begins.  Brigus was a much busier place when Charlie lived there in 1915.  You can visit Hawthorne Cottage the home of Captain Bob Bartlett, a famous Arctic explorer.  Captain Bob is mentioned in the novel and you can see what life was like in Brigus then.  Here's a picture of Brigus now
