			DISCOVER CANADA PROJECT

Our combined Grade 2/3 class would like to invite you to join 
in writing a story about a journey across Canada. Each participating 
school or class would add one page to the story we  have begun.  
We will then compile the  pages to make a story , supplying a suitable 
ending.  We would send a final copy to each participating school.

Guidelines:

1. Tell how the character arrived in your area .
2. Use the page to tell us about your area through the character 
   and / or other characters you might want to add.
3. Create an ending that allows the character to move to another 
   area of Canada.
4. Limit your page to 150-200 words.


JOIN US ON OUR JOURNEY.

Our school closes on June 14th. We hope to hear from you as soon as possible.


OUR STORY

One day the students of Kingsclear Consolidated were playing at recess 
when they saw a large eagle overhead. Did it come from Mactaquac 
Provincial Park which is not far from our school? It flew above 
the zooming traffic on the Trans Canada highway which passes in 
front of our school.  It flew far higher than the tiny chickadee, 
our provincial bird. Suddenly it swooped down, past the field 
of purple violets and fresh fiddleheads ,on the banks of the 
St. John River running through our province. It caught a small 
salmon and carrying it in its talons,  it headed down the river 
to our capital city , Fredericton, only a few kilometres from our 
school. Would the eagle return or was its journey just beginning?
