Inuit cultural workshop

Yesterday's field trip to the Ottawa Art Center in Downtown Ottawa. We participated in workshops and a performance in the Arts Center Theatre. The Inuit group Nunavut Sivuniksavut did a great job organizing and putting on the workshops. We had a workshop on Inuit syllabics which is their version of the alphabet and learned how to write our name in Inuktitut. We also participated in a workshop on Inuit string games and learned how to make a tipi. We also learned how to juggle 2 balls at the same time. We learned three different strength games as well We tried the airplane carry, the arm pull and the high kick. After a nutrition break we we treated to a performance of Inuit music and dance as well as an Inuit traditional clothing and artifact demonstration. Below are just a few pictures and videos from our trip.

We will begin procedural writing next week as well as learning about subtracting with dollar amounts. We will also be discussing air and water pollution in science
