Mannix and Tillie share

Mannix shared his Dad's paramedic helmet for the helicopter that was worn when he helped save so many lives!

Salmon Girl

Last Friday, we went to the Presentation House Theatre to see a play called Salmon Girl.  It was about an indigenous girl who turns into a salmon while she is fishing. Through the story, we learned about salmons' life cycle, the plastic pollution patch in the ocean, and the significant role salmon play in aboriginal culture. 

Light conditions weren't that good for photos, but hopefully you can see how much fun were having. 

Dallas from the Squamish Nation came to our class today to bless the fish tank

We collected cedar branches, and Dallas told us the story if hiw the Salmon people came to be.. 

He used his beautiful deerskin drum with the eagle painting to sing us a welcoming, a blessing and a farewell song. 

We dipped our cedar branches in water, put powerful nurturing thoughts into our minds and used the branches to bless all corners of the salmon tank.

It was such a special afternoon!

Thanks to all of you for making sure there were boxes and materials at school for your children!!

Inquiring Minds was sooo successful!

Inquiring Minds was a great day because we worked in groups with people we didn't know, we created fabulous contraptions and we were able to make  something personal.
