Today we are talking about Canada’s 150th anniversary! Our school had a series of events starting with having a mini parade all the way to the Kwanlin Dun Cultural Centre.
Once we got there, we sang O Canada in three different languages: English, French and Southern Tutchone.
After that, we got to hear a very touching and moving speech from a Polio survivor. Then we watched a very funny bilingual trivia game about Canadian history that some teachers participated in.
When we got back, Mme split us into groups of 2\3 students, so that one group could be introducing people to the projects, while the other groups would be wandering around the school looking at the other classes’ projects about Canada. Then we got to have the pizza lunch early! Yum.
After lunch, we got to wander around around the school again. Switching groups occasionally, of course. At 2:30, all the students were called back to their classrooms for a treat...
MAPLE RUSH CONES! (Made by the class of Mme Valérie L.) They were a delicious way to end our celebration for 150 years of Canada. –Abbey and Elohdie
