Remembering

As usual this time of year, everything takes a back seat to teaching my kids about the importance of Remembrance Day. I share pictures and experiences with them, videos, stories and history. They learn about the sacrifices made by Canadian men and women that allow them to live in a glorious country like Canada.

We had a wonderful visit this week from a friend of Tieran's, Mr. Brian Hutchison. He brought in his huge collection of Canadian war memorabilia. He had cap badges from all the units in the two World Wars, uniforms from all branches of service, pictures of his family members who served, medals, shrapnel, stones from the beach at Dieppe, sand from Juno and chalk from the tunnels at Vimy Ridge. He was full of information but the best part was when everyone was allowed to try on uniforms!



Some people look good in uniform! 

Even without full pockets,
some things weighed a lot.  

Army... 

Air Force...



Women in uniform!

We will be running the school Remembrance Day Service on Tuesday at 11:00. You are most welcome to join us in the gym.

 

Don't forget we're off to the Royal Winter Fair on Thursday! We leave the school at 9am and are hoping to be back at 8pm.

 

Have a wonderful weekend!
