Our new patrol schedule for November/December is posted up at the Patrol Station as well as in grade 5/6 classrooms. Patrollers can check when they are patrolling in advance. The new schedule will be up on our website soon.
We are having a very exciting time in our Cultural Creativity TSN Fridays! In the past few weeks we have learned about Russia, India, and Africa. We are learning to read maps and globes and discovering just how big - and small- our world really is!
Did you know that Russia is the biggest country in the world? We learned this and many other interesting facts about Russia our first week. The nesting doll, also known as the matryoshka doll, originated in Russia in 1890. These stacking dolls are made from wood with smaller dolls placed inside larger dolls. We made our nesting dolls from paper, but they are just as beautiful with their bright and bold colours!
Next we learned about India and the Festival of Lights-Diwali. During this time, a special craft called Rangoli is done which consists of making beautiful designs with colourful rice.
Our adventure continues to Africa! Stay tuned for more!
