Highlights from this past week
We have conducted basketball try-outs this week and are all very exciting about the commencement of the season.
This week was Metis week. Our Grade 4 Students did some pointillism art work while discovering Metis Art. Another thing the students discussed this week, was the end of the Hoar Frost Moon. In that, they thought about "how the indigenous peoples would sort their beads and make their moccasins. Have you ever had to make your own boots before? The moccasin was made from either deerskin, moose hide or buffalo leather sewn with sinew. What is sinew? Sinew is the animal tendon that was used as the thread to sew things together. Did you know the indigenous peoples never wasted any part of the buffalo. Porcupine quills and fish scales were used as well for beading. The mukluk is an Inuit shoe that means fur lined warmth as leather as it is colder up north. Did you know that leather is waterproof? If you had to make your own moccasins, what would yours look like?" The student learned and reflected much.
The Librarian's Corner
Its time to cozy up with a good book!
The library is getting ready for the winter season, and there are many cool books to choose.
So chill out and relax with some of your favorite reads.
