We've had some engaging Connected North sessions this past week! Our visiting teacher was in Australia and we reviewed the human body. He had some cool models to help explain how our bodies function!
We focused our attention on respect at school. We learned what that meant and how to reveal it to others. We tied in the Dene Laws: "Be respectful of Elders and everything around you" and "be polite and don't argue with anyone" and "young girls and boys should behave respectfully". We worked through some social emotional activities on the subject and also played a board game. This is in support of school wide approach to supporting acceptable behaviours and in support of our Kindness Challenge initiative.
On Wednesday we revealed respect and admiration of our Elders in the community by making local fish, veggies, and homemade cranberry and orange muffins. We delivered them to our beloved Elders at the end of the day on Wednesday.
Thursday was Halloween and like always, students had some fun at school and then went to Hay River to trick or treat. Fun was had by all!!
Friday, we completed our short stories. Some are 4 pages typed!! We will start play writing/screen writing on Monday. These stories will be published in this year's Yearbook and Literary Magazine which will be given out during our End of Year Awards Ceremony and Concert.
