Province / Territory Projects

Grade 4 students are wrapping up their presentations on a chosen Canadian province / territory for Social Studies. With language support and guidance on how to best search for information, they collected facts to answer some pertinent research questions before creating their CANVA presentations. Once completed, they practiced presentation skills such as speaking loud enough to be heard, facing the audience, speaking as opposed to just reading their slides, pointing to important information as they show their work and being ready to answer questions in French from the teacher at the end of their talk. Here are some finished projects.

Journée Nationale de la vérité et de la réconciliation

Today we paid homage to indigenous children who never returned home from residential schools and to the survivors who are still living with the negative effects of the horrendous treatment they endured.
To commemorate this important day, we all watched a short video by Phyllis Webstad on the history of Orange Shirt Day, followed by a discussion and an art project. It was truly heart-warming to see so many of our students wear their orange shirts to school today.
