Reflecting on Stellaquo!

Dear Grade Fives!       

Last week we went to Stellaquo. You learned many different things about nature and how everything is connected.   
In a full paragraph, please tell me what you learned. Remember that you were taught by a grade 6 or 7 student and then you went to learning centers. I look forward to your responses. 
                         Love, Mrs. French

  1. What I learned at Stellaquo
    I nosiest that the liver it sticky and brown. At my last station someone gutted a fish
    And I know that because I held the fish. I also earned that a plant that first nations used was poisons; they boiled the berries and made it in to jam. What I think about that is when they boiled the berries the position evaporated. There are five different types of salmon spring ,pink, Coho ,sockeye and my favourite…chum. I don’t know why I just like the name. I learned about mint leaves that people make tea with it and it smells really good.

  2. What I learned at Stellaquo
    I learned about the sockeye salmon swimming into Stellaquo River and that trout come into Stellaquo to feed on the salmon eggs. Also I learned of the five different types of salmon. There is the Sockeye, Pink, Spring, Chum and Coho salmon. You have to release any Sockeye salmon that you catch also you have to have a special license to fish there.
    Also I learned about the different plants that grow there. There is wild mint that can be used to make tea. The sweet mountain sizzley, yarrow, and the lingon berry grows there to.
    When I went to Stellaquo I got to go on a walk through the woods and got to see the salmon spawning too! We got to see the insides of a male salmon and look at a whole collection of bugs to. The collection included hard back strider bug and a lot of dung beetles. I had a lot of fun at Stellaquo.
    The end

    If the salmon have a white tale they have laid all eggs. Small salmon are called jacks and jills. There is not many salmon that spawn in rapids. A male has a hump on its back. If you throw a rock in the water by a salmon it will swim up stream. There is also lots of bears ducks and eagles. There are five different kinds of salmon Sockie Pink, spring, Chum, Coho.

    Roas hips were emergency food source, the scientific name for them is acicuiaris. If you snif yarrow it will unclog your nose the scientific for this one is achillea mille folium. The wiled strawbery’s were used for jam.

    In stellaquo I learned that people cut of the fish tails when they die so they can count them. And that the small fish are called jack and Jill. And that it does not take long for the fish to die. The trout eat the salmons eggs. The people cut the fish tail off to count them. the salmon travel a long way to get to the river they spawn in the stellquo river.

    At Stellaquo I learned about a lot of different things like yarrow. When you have a cut or a bloody nose you can use yarrow because it takes in the blood. There is also mint leafs. They are used for tea and you can eat it to, it has a very strong taste. I also learned about the rainbow trout. What they do to survive is very weird but I guess I would do that if I wanted to survive. They eat some of the eggs that have flown down the river. Sometimes if they are getting to unpation they will punch the spanner in the belly and a couple of eggs will fall out and they will feased on them. All the different kinds of salmon are Cum, Sockeye, Pink, Spring, Coho. People walk on the side of the river to count the fish that have came up the river this year. I also leaned about that the bears they need 40 kilos to survive each 10 days. There are also bugs. There is a bug called the Hard back strider it is a very fascinating bug they eat the little bugs and things at the bottom of the lake. I also leaned about the first nation and how they use the fish for food and they hang them for winter’s food.

    At Stellaquo I learned about salmon spawning and how the salmon life cycle is. So when the salmon are spawning they do not eat at all because they just want to get to the spawn place. After the salmon spawn the salmon slowly die and the bears eat the salmon on the land sometimes. After the salmon die people come to chop the salmon up so they can count how much salmon spawned at the river. They count the salmon so they know if they have enough salmon for next year. I also saw that there were mint plant there but if people picked the mint out of the dirt the mint plant would die. I also learned that the birds liked the eyes of the salmon the most. I learned how we can tell a male from a female the females have a smooth nose and the males have a little bump.

  11. My Stellaquo trip
    When I went to Stellaquo I learn about sockeye salmon. I learn that the baby salmon live in the river (when they hatch) for 1 or 2 years. And when they go to the ocean they stay there for 3 years. After that the go again to the river and lay more eggs. I also learned that there is a fish called trout they are fed by the salmon’s eggs. Some times they bump or hit the salmon so they can eat the eggs.
    i had a great trip

    At Stellaquo one of the things I learned was that salmon need water, food, shelter, & space.to count the salmon they will cut off the tail then it will be counted. To count the salmon they will cut off the tail then it will be counted.
    Euro is used for stuffy noses so you boil water then put the euro in and sniff the fumes for 5-8 minutes. Salmon live for 4-5 years. When salmon are laying there eggs the shape the gravel the crescent shape. Stellquo is on first nation reserve.my partner took me to the wild mint patch and mint can be used for tea. Boil hot water and add the leaves. My partner taut me how to smudge a leaf. Every thing is connected. If there is no salmon then bears & eagles can’t eat and if we catch too many fish animal cant eat. Mr. Holloway talked to us about fishing and he had special boots attached for fishing and you have to wear a belt so they don’t fall down. I learned about all types of bugs
    The man places the bugs in position then we spray them then they slowly die. If a salmon is to slow laying the eggs the male with hit the female’s tummy with his tail. When the lady cut open the salmon she showed us the heart, the gills, the air bubble thingy.at the art station we got to color a picture of salmon 

    Last Thursday our school went to Stellaquo River for a field trip. Every thing is connected, if the fisherman caught too many salmon the bears and the eagles would die then the forest would die then the mice and the deer would die witch
    means the owls are going to die, so everything is connected in some ways, we also learned about mint and how there are also trout in the water as well, the trout and the salmon are connected because the trout eat the female salmons eggs, but if they get impatient well the female is trying to lay the eggs, the trout will swim over to her and punch her tummy to make the eggs come out or to tell her to hurry up, the trout come from Francois lake or from Fraser lake. We also learned that many people go to Stellaquo to fish but since there are not that many salmon in Stellaquo anymore so if you catch something you have to throw it back in the water.
    You must wear special gear to go to catch Salmon, you must wear pants that are attached to the boots and a belt, so if you fall down your boots won`t fill with water, but since the boots are attached to the pants it makes the boots so heavy to lift when they fill up with water.
    I also learned that the eagle eats the salmon but they also eat mice, I`m not quite sure if bears live around the river. We went in different groups in saw bugs, and the inside of a salmon, plus the art station, at the bug station there were tones of butterflies and insects and types of Beatles too, ant the salmon station we saw her open up a salmon and she took out the heart and the liver, it was really discus ting. But the art station was fun we drew pictures and coloured different things.

    Thanks for reading 

    when my school went to stellaquo grad 4s and 5s got pared with grade 7s and 6s. My pare told me about the salmon spawning. Sometimes the salmon will jump for there last breath from the air. When the salmon die people come and count they cut off the tail so they don’t count them twice. There was one group a lady cut a salmon open so we could see what was in the salmon. In the water with the salmon there are trout the trout eat the salmon’s egg some times if the trout can’t wait much longer they punch the female in the stomach then some egg come out. When the salmon are on the shore the eagles or the bears will eat them

  16. What I Learned at Stellaquo
    I learned the difference between the sockeye salmon and the four other species.
    The difference is that sockeye spend three years in the ocean and the other four spend four years in the ocean.
    They are Sockeye, Pink, Chum, spring, Coho salmon. The plants that grow there are eyrie, mint, itchy bum, trees, moss and many more.
    You have to have a special licence to fish there. And if you catch any fish you have to put them back. Salmon eggs are pink. Sockeye salmon don`t eat wile they are spawning. Because they are to busy spawning.


    And that is what I learned at Stellaquo
