Orange Shirt Day

Today we had an assembly to mark Orange Shirt Day and honour survivors of Canada's Residential Schools. At the assembly, students were thrilled to experience some elements of First Nations culture and be a part of a performance by Chantal Songstorm-Chagnon, and to watch one of our very own Copperfield students who is a Fancy Dancer.

We created a Visual Journal page about how Every Child Matters. We really enjoyed reading the book Stolen Words by Melanie Florence.

In Social Studies we have been preparing to dig into communities across Canada, and got busy creating a torn paper project to represent rural communities. 

Learning is messy!
