Paperclip Game and Movies: Eventful Day at Wynchemna!!

Today was a fantastic day at Wynchemna! We started the day with a hearty and nutritious breakfast that included a variety of options such as milk, orange juice, eggs, cereal, and bacon. After breakfast, we kicked off the day with engaging morning lessons. During this time, the students were immersed in creating country posters, learning about the renowned Canadian multinational coffeehouse and restaurant chain, Tim Hortons, and participating in enjoyable activities. Laughter filled the air as the students had a blast.

Following the morning lessons, we gathered for a satisfying lunch. The menu featured a wide array of delicious options, including steak and fries, pizza, and ham and cheese sandwiches. After lunch, we returned to SAIT to prepare for our transition to new rooms later in the evening. This was also a momentous occasion as we warmly welcomed a new student, Yuki, to the Wynchemna family.

As we wrapped up our packing and cleaning, we embarked on an exciting adventure to play the Paperclip game. The game involved starting with a paperclip and going door-to-door in a neighborhood to trade the paperclip for items of equal or greater value. The students had a fantastic time interacting with the friendly community members and successfully collected an impressive array of items, including a plastic shovel, a stylish mug, a vase, a soccer ball, a swimming board, a headlight, a book, a decoration, and much more. The game culminated in one team acquiring a brand new pair of heating gloves, perfect for the cold weather, while the other team secured a propane heater and a tennis racquet.

Our next stop was Arby's for a scrumptious supper, where the students savored mouthwatering burgers and chicken strips. After supper, we headed to the Canyon Meadows Cinema, where some students watched 'Mad Max' while others enjoyed 'Fall Guy'. The students had a great time watching the movies and indulging in delectable popcorn.

Upon our return to SAIT, we announced Yuki as the student of the day and allocated the new rooms to the students. It was an exhilarating and eventful day, filled with memorable experiences and new friendships at Wynchemna!
