Today we made paper snowflakes to decorate our classroom and the gym for the Christmas concerts coming up. We also had a wonderful performance on First Nations Culture, which included dancing and some important learning around stereotypes. The performance was very entertaining and educational. In the afternoon, we got the criteria for Going Public in inquiry and got to work preparing for our presentations which will be next week. We have two more work periods to prepare so make sure you plan out work time outside school if you think you will need more than 2 periods to prepare for Going Public. |
