MAGNIFICENT Moccasin makingA few months ago, while learning about the Métis, the Access class started a meticulous moccasin project. Mrs. Laura Ducharme from St. Malo brought in her patterns and beading expertise. We traced our patterns, cut our materials and began beading our vamps. This took a few weeks and some frustration, but we got it done. Then we began the process of sewing everything together by hand. We learned to be patient and that it’s ok to ask a friend for help. Due to remote learning we had to finish our project by watching videos and following the instructions on our own. Once all the pieces were sewn we assembled everything together and added the fur collars. We’re extremely satisfied with our finished products and will wear our moccasins with pride! ---Mrs. Noel up up and away...first time kite flyers!Our Access class had some students who had never flown a kite! How does Mrs. Noel react to that...? She finds some kites and they get outside on a perfect flying day! Way to Go, MAV's! Gr 3/4's study ancient societiesThe grade 3/4 classes studied ancient societies. They showed their knowledge through dioramas. They showed many elements that included people, transportations, clothing, structures, jobs, art and more. gr 3/4's head to the farm...virtually at least!The Grade 3/4 classes visited a broiler chicken barn for their virtual field trip. The Plett farm is in southern Manitoba and they raise 10 000 free run chicks at a time. Did you know that chickens are the closest relatives to dinosaurs? Jazz band ends the year on a latin note (or 2)!The Jazz Band students have overcome many challenges this past year, one being playing instruments on their own at home! They were excited to take on a project where they could feel a sense of teamwork and play something as an ensemble! For this Latin tune, Fiesta Latina, the students each recorded their instrument part(s) to a backing track. The audio tracks were all pieced together and video was added to create this virtual performance! Special thank you to Mr. Willems, Mr. Stevenson, and Mr. Zimmerman for playing in our virtual rhythm section! https://youtu.be/blIfISio0QY camping gear donation requestThe Morris School OUTDOOR ED.
