Social Studies: Field trip to Gardiner Museum

On November 16th, grade 3 students visited Gardiner Museum. In the morning, we attended presentation about First Nations and we took a tour of the museum as we reviewed different types of glasswares that were designed during 1700s to 1800s. Also, there was a special installation by Kent Monkman who is a First Nations artist of Cree and Irish ancestry. In the afternoon, we got to create an animal sculpture out of clay with a ceramic artist! We had so much fun!!
