Fresh Air Friday

What a beautiful day for Fresh Air Friday! We were honoured to have Elder Randy Bottle return to Dr. EW Coffin today and excited to have Saa'Kokoto (Randy's Blackfoot name - ask us how to say it!) come to the Clubhouse and share stories with us. We learned that his people, the Blackfoot, are called the Wolf people and they call the Milky Way, the Wolf trail. Animals and colours are also very important to them. Animals like the horse, buffalo, eagle and primary colours plus black and white are painted on their Teepees.

We also went outside and played Camouflage in Whispering Woods. We realized that wearing colours like black, grey and brown helped us blend in better than pinks and reds!

We learned that there is still a lot of colour to find even in winter. We played Rainbow chip hunt. Mrs. Armour had a bag of paint chips that she gave us and then we had to go and find something that closely matched that colour. 

When we went back inside we read the story Snow Tree. At first, the animals thought the whole world of colour was covered in white then all the animals brought something colourful from nature that reminded them of something else (red berries reminded them of all the flowers and fruits).

Have a great weekend!
