Access class updateThis week we have continued our exploration into the lives of early Canadians. Mr. Lehmann kindly showed us how to use a handsaw and build an A-frame shelter. We worked up a sweat shovelling snow for a quinzee. He taught us how to measure the thickness of the snow with sticks and how to decide where to dig the hole for the door. It was pretty cozy in there when it was all done. We had some fun discovering our Voyageur names, learned some French and Cree and tried out our weaving skills making some miniature Metis sashes. It was difficult at first but fun once we got the hang of it. We also painted a giant HBC blanket bulletin board and cooked ‘’ 3 Sisters Soup’’ based on an Indigenous recipe with corn, squash and beans. It was surprisingly delicious, even to our most picky classmates. Mr. Moore's 5/6's go sledding!February brings the return of I Love to Read Month.
