Earth Spirit: Iroquois day

Thanks to the P.T.O.  the students spent a fun day at the main campus learning about Iroquois life.  It was a full day of hard work, interesting learning and dirty fun!  Be sure to ask your child about the experience.  Here are a few pictures that illustrate our day.

This is last year's hunting lodge.  As you can see, it was in rough shape.  Our first job was to dismantle this so we could recycle the natural resources.

Mr. John from Earth Spirit led the hunting lodge station.

This is the frame of the hunting lodge after we started to rebuild.

It was fun, but hard work to dismantle the hunting lodge.

Ms. Kerri shared a few Iroquois stories with us.  

A few children were involved in acting out the stories.  

Ms.  Kerri taught us a game that the Iroquois played.  

Mr.  Scott led an interesting session that involved Iroquois artifacts.  

We learned about the Three Sisters and how the Iroquois prepared some of their food  

The children of the Iroquois were responsible for some intense work.  

The finished product: the whole class fit inside!

 At the end of the day, we went back outside to see the hunting lodge.  The other classes had worked on it after we left.
