Grade 6's have also been learning about exports, imports & trade. This week we have begun to discuss refugees & in particular Syrian refugees. We have been exploring Canada's reaction to this issue and what the different points of view are.
Grade 7's are also investigating New France. So far we have learned about why people came to New France and the conflict that is arising between Europeans & Aboriginal tribes.
There are some overall themes of our entire SS/History unit: power, change, conflict, cooperation & identity. We will be linking all of these themes to our learning.
