Today is National Indigenous People’s Day.

As such, the school started the day with the Welcome Song. During our day, we also learned more about Aboriginal culture.

We talked about the significance of the circle. We see a medicine wheel divided into 4 equal parts. We watched this video about hoop dancing and all the primary classes went outside to tie fabric onto a medicine wheel near the primary playground.

This afternoon, we watched a short animated story in a series called Molly of Denali. She is a girl who lives in Alaska, and each episode teaches an aspect of Indigenous culture. You can search episodes on Youtube if your child is interested in watching more.

Today is a significant day in nature, being the summer solstice. Children have learned about the midnight sun in northern Canada as we have studied the Inuit culture this term. Enjoy your sunshine today!
