Today the boys and girls made paper medicine wheels.
The children had to trace and cut four coloured quarters of construction paper to form a circle.
They also drew their families on a small white circle as well as something they liked on the other side.
The children had to copy Mme Alexander's actions and not use their words or make noise. When the aboriginal people want to hunt, they must walk very quietly in the woods so that the animals will not run away.
We danced to pow wow music in a circle. We also played a game of freeze dance. Once Mme Alexander stopped the aboriginal music we had to freeze. The last children standing had to come to the front of the class and hold hands in the air just like at a real pow wow. The boys and girls are looking forward to Thursday, when we will be making real medicine wheels.
