Today, Divisions 1 & 2 went to BC Place with Mr. Collins and Ms. Chohan to compete in a soccer tournament for the whole day! Students played soccer against other schools, for several hours; took part in fun activities; and ate Subway, all provided for the event. In the end, our class even got a trophy! Make sure you all continue to drink plenty of water. We had a long walk there in the sun, and a long walk back.

The subway was pretty good. A little bit soggy but good.

Personally, I’m not a huge fan of soccer. I can’t even kick the ball right. But one thing I do like is food. I thought the food was pretty good. (Even though they said there were chips, but there wasn’t.) I was really hungry this morning and wanted something to eat and there it was. I would like to do this whole entire thing again but with people that have the same skill level. My team went against a team that was pretty good. I also noticed that some other teams were very experienced. So I would change the teams because it wasn’t that fair. There were many stations that kind of made it confusing but overall it was really fun.

Balls were also flying everywhere and it hurt when you got hit. There were many stations that kind of made it confusing (or painful) but overall it was really fun. I would love to come back again! (And try dodging the balls...)

Today, we were invited to the B.C. Place soccer field to play with other Elementary school. I am very appreciate the opportunity that we could play today. We were separated to fair teams, and we surely had fun. And the most thing I will be memorable of is playing soccer with our class's team. In two teams, we have less argument but more fun. The thing I still remember is that I blocked the ball by my head when I leaned down on the field, since the goalkeeper was not fast enough to block the ball. I still remember that is not because I think I were cool, but my head still hurts since I blocked the ball. If I can have an opportunity to play soccer again I will choose the be a goalkeeper and to carry the team, not letting the other teams to get the soccer ball into our's. The changes I will make in the future is to be more cooperative and have the opportunity to manage the team, not letting chaos or arguments happen. But still, we really enjoyed today's experience and learned to play soccer more and improve.

When I heard the words "soccer" and "field trip" beside each other in the same sentence, it didn't really spark a reaction. I knew that I wasn't all that good at soccer, but it was a field trip! So we went, and I can say that I've never had a field trip like the one we had today. There were experiences that I had and things that I liked about this field trip that I might also want to do again.

First of all, I liked how there were many different school there playing soccer as it gave us a motivation to play better in order to win. We also got a chance to work together to reach a common goal. The food was normal, but still good.

Experience wise, we became better at teamwork and learning the rules of soccer in general. We learned what the best way is to go out and make successful plays. I would want to go again for all of these reasons and have more fun :D. Three things that I would change, though, is they should make sure that we get to play more people, have bigger fields, and also not use so many plastic water bottles.

In conclusion, today's field trip was interesting and unique. We learned a lot from this experience, and I would really like to go again another time!

We went to a soccer tournament today and I thought I was going to die from tiredness, but it wasn't that bad because I was goalie for all the matches. Plus, I found a special talent: i'm horrible for attack, however I make a decent goalie. The whole day I was goalie and the balls only got past me three times in total. Even though I didn't let the balls past me, I totally paid the price for that later on, I blocked the ball with my head and started to feel dizzy, and one team had people who kick really hard, and my hands and legs hurt now. But there's a bunch of other great stuff, like free translink tickets, free lunch and free sunglasses and wristbands. Next time I got to get more wristbands. There were a few flaws, like small fields and no one cared if another ball got in play. I would make the fields bigger and pause the game if a player or ball gets on our field.

@raymond. I very like your post and it is finally longer. (I think that person kicked the ball into your head.)

Today, my friends and I went to a B.C. sports place where we do can play soccer.

After every five to ten minutes, you have to rotate. Those who are wearing the soccer pinnies don't rotate, though. One thing I like about soccer is kicking the ball, and I enjoy active sports that require a lot of movement unless I'm in defense.

I'd love to play soccer again, but the nurse said I shouldn't because of my foot.

Today, my friends and I went to a B.C. sports place where we can play soccer and learn more about it. I really enjoyed it and found it fun and interesting.

I've learned so many new things and after every five to ten minutes, we had to rotate. Those who were wearing the soccer pinnies don't rotate, though. One thing I like about soccer is kicking the ball, and I enjoy active sports that require a lot of movement unless I'm in defense. I used to play soccer a lot when I was about nine or ten years old because it's almost tradition for us Arabs to play sports and soccer is the most played one for us. I remembered always playing games like basketball and soccer in a park with all my friends.

In conclusion, today was sort of eventful and exciting because of soccer. I'd love to play soccer again, but the nurse said I shouldn't because of my foot.

Today, we had a great experience of soccer when we went to the stadium. It was very fun and there was a lot of great things that happened. Our team played 7 rounds, won 3, tied 2, and lost twice. ( I think) I liked playing the games, and the iced tea. In the games, I liked to take balls from the opponents. I think Raymond was a good goalie because he blocked the ball a lot. I'm bad at shooting, but I could take the ball from an opponent and pass it to some good player (aka. David). I liked the food because there was Subway and I got a Subway bracelet thing. In the end, we got a trophy. The last thing I liked was that the teachers gave free tickets for the train s I don't need to use my compass card. I hope I can play again.

Today at BC Place divisions 1 and 2 engaged in a very active soccer tournament with schools all over Vancouver. On thing I liked about this excursion to play soccer was listening to Carl Valentine’s commencement speech and meeting Spike the Whitecaps FC mascot. I would like to relive this experience again, and one aspect which thoroughly enjoyed was assisting my team and scoring goals.
Throughout the day, I was too busy having fun besting the other teams, but during lunchtime, I almost gagged at the taste of the soggy sub-sandwich. Sure, free meals are already considered an awesome amenity, but seriously? No snacks? Last year there were snacks, but what happened to then this year? This is something I would like to see next time I get the opportunity to participate in this event again.

All in all, I enjoyed this field trip, and have nothing more to say about this.

Wow! A soccer ball almost hit my face.

Soccer isn’t my type of sport. I like the sports that teach me things such as karate and swimming lessons. One thing that I liked the food. The subway was pretty good. I chose the vegetarian subway sandwich because most of the sandwiches had the ingredients I like such as ham and other meat. Some parts of this experience I liked was listening the similar songs they played at sound like my culture’s songs and play soccer with my friends and my classmates. Also lots of free things such as compass cards and lunch. I would change the food because there was only one type of food so there should be other options. Another thing, I would change were be the organization because my team was confused with where we had to go,

Overall the field trip was great!

Today, division 1 and 2 went to BC place to attend a soccer tournament with all the school in Vancouver. I am on the red team, which is number 2, we are not the best team, but we had a lot of fun.

During the soccer tournament, I had a lot of fun, the most fun thing in this activity is: they did a lot of JUSTIN BIEBER'S song, YAAAAAA!!!!! :) Anyways, we played against the team at Laurier which is our school, that's a lot of fun. However, I was not on the field, it still really fun, especially the argument, we had a lot of argument, about the goalie, where should the ball start, or...... it's a lot of fun. I would've loved to do that again. If I had the opportunity to do that again, I would try to block the ball better, or I can try goalie because I never try goalie.

Overall, this field trip is enjoyable but also very tired. I will like to join those activities again.

Today we went to B.C. Place for a soccer tournament. Within 30 minutes, I was TIRED as HECK. I got hit in the head by a ball several times. It`s getting punched in the head by Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet. What I would have changed is having score charts. Something I wish I could do again was the CRINGE pics.My favorite thing about today was Harmon and I taking those REALLY cringy pictures. In 3, Harmon was a Viking robber. In 1, I was a football robber. In the last, I is a horse, and Harmon be Viking Zorgo.

What a wonderful day for a soccer tournament? I believed everyone had fun during the games. After another experience of the soccer tournament. I fully agreed that soccer is definitely a good choice for those who are looking for sports to do. I really appreciate this opportunity to enjoy soccer with all my classmates and meeting people from other schools all over in Vancouver. In addition, I appreciated the free subways and water resources. My favorite part of this activity would be experiencing the teamwork we had between each other. Although we had a little argument about who’s replacing which spot. It all solved with one another’s understanding. One thing I should work on next time is by participating more in the games, such as staying active.

Overall, it’s great a great experience. I started liking soccer once again. If I had a chance, I would love to come next year.

Go go go, shoot it in! Yes it is a goal.
Today we have a field trip to B.C. Place soccer field or place to have a turnetment aginst other Elementary school. It is a lot different from last time, I think the subway’s chose there is gotten leser ( it might be because we gotta eat last ), and I think there are more people. The most thing I liked about today is when I score and I think it make sense because people felt happy about it naturally. So I don’t think there is any particular answer for why scoring is the most thing I liked about today. The only parts about this experience that I would like to have the opportunity to try again is be the goalie I didn’t get much opportunity to do it so I think it would be nice to be goalie another time. One thing I would change today is probably the way I play today, because it kinda get a bit rough at the end. Other then that I am really haveing a lot of fun today.

Today we went to the Bc place, aka the home of white cap. first thing I hard was the shoot to the net. After I take a look I saw some volunteer playing soccer. We were doing a program call kids play, they have free subway witch was pretty good and it's free, but they have to read a really long sponsor list. and that will be the only thing that I like about that place. I would like to have an opportunity to have more free subway again.I will change there beef sandwich meatballs sandwich witch is way better

Today was yet another tiring, but fun field trip. Division 2 was lucky to be able to join many different schools in a small soccer event. It was from the Kid’s Play foundation and was taken place at the BC Place. I enjoyed playing soccer with different people from all of the different schools. Teammates were cooperative, and opponents played fair. Everyone enjoyed their time and had fun. Something I would like experience again in the future is the energetic and active feel. I especially liked how the goal of this event was to inspire people and drive people away from the “bad” choices in life, towards a right path. I like seeing how everyone was involved and participating. Something I hope would change next time is better organization (it was good but could have been a bit better). People didn’t know when to join back onto the field after finishing their lunch and where to go. Some went exploring places and got lost in the crowds. There were a lot of confusion and the volunteers still couldn’t figure things out for us. That wasn’t a big issue though. Other than that, I really enjoyed the overall field trip!

Considering I don't exactly enjoy soccer, I found this program really fun! I think that kids play is really amazing and I love how it keeps us active. in this program, I really enjoyed meeting other schools and playing against them. I thought that the game wasn't too competitive so it made it a lot more about fun than winning. I really enjoyed walking around the stadium meeting the mascots and talking to other kids. I would love to participate in kids play next year. it was a great way to get active and bond. If I could change today, I would try to be more active. I felt like I was scared of the ball. I mean, balls were flying everywhere so I was a little bit paranoid. in conclusion, if we have the chance, I would come back next year to participate in kids play!

Do you enjoy playing soccer?

Last year we did this kids play soccer. It was very different I guess. Last year the teams were more random then the sports day teams, and the food I guess was better. Last year I remember they had more changes in between, but this time they barely changed the teams or made a switch. Last year I got to play more and I scored more, this year I didn’t play as much and didn’t score that much at all. At least we were lucky enough to come to this event and participate! I enjoyed coming, and I hope everyone else did too

In conclusion, for me it was very different than last year. Still happy we went.

WE ARE GROOT AND LOGAN!
