Your News... In Real-Time!

At Bruce Middle School we've decided to go paperless with our newsletter.

There are two advantages to this:

- The saving of paper is a savings in costs and more importantly another step in our ongoing commitment to sustainability.

- By offering news in this format, we can now provide our community with real-time news as it happens, instead of waiting until the end of the month to send out information.

Aboriginal Cultural Enrichment Activities!

One of our grade 6 enrichment groups has been studying aboriginal culture and perspective. Some of the activities they've done include:

Dream Catchers
Bad dreams? We have a solution. The students learned the history behind dream catchers and their importance to Aboriginal people. The students made their own dream catchers using a large ring, leather, synthetic sinew, beads, and feathers!

Talking sticks
One at a time please! The students learned the history of talking sticks and what they are used for. After venturing out to find the perfect sticks, each student made a talking stick of their own using their stick, leather, beads, and feathers! A special large talking stick was made for our room and will come in handy when sharing!
