Our learning during Social Studies over the last few weeks has focused on residential schools, the impact it had on Indigenous communities, and the rights of a child. As a school we observed Orange Shirt day on Thursday learning through story and conversation. In classrooms we read "You Hold Me Up" by Monique Gray Smith. Then we brainstormed what holds us up, makes us feel safe. We wrote these words on feathers and used orange, yellow and red to decorate them. The feathers were then put together in the shape of wings for all students to read and reflect on. Maybe you could ask your child what their word was? What would your word be?
