Grandmother’s Circle – Grade Six
Joining Grandmother’s Circle, students will experience the unique education of early aboriginal children.

Equally important yet less formal were the games that were taught and played under the watchful eyes of their elders. This activity-based program will bring these lessons to life!

Aboriginal Pinch Pots – Grade Six
Aboriginals produced pottery vessels to hold water, corn and other materials. Through many generations they developed shapes and patterns to suit their needs and to identify their communities. Students will examine native pottery artifacts, some as much as 600 years old, and examine shapes, clay thickness and decorative patterns. Using clay and tools provided, students will then produce their own replica pot to take home.
