Aboriginal Awareness and Talking Circles

We have had a special visitor in our class this week. She will also be spending the next 2 weeks with us, leading us in a 'Talking Circle'. So far, Pam has shared how nature plays an important part in her culture. Each day, Pam passes around a 'grandfather' (rock). We then share things that are important to each of us. Pam explains how certain objects have significance to her. Ask your child to tell you about smudging or how Pam came to acquire a turtle shell?!

Literacy Day and Fuzzy Buddy Day

The kids are always excited to wear their pyjamas to school and bring a stuffy. TWO times this school year was an added bonus! Here are some photos with their Reading Buddies.
