Dear Grade 6C
Parents,
Simons
Valley School is pleased to announce that Ryan Jason Allen Willert will be
working with the staff and students in the role of Artist in Residence starting
this upcoming week. Ryan is a full-time artist and storyteller born and raised
in Southern Alberta. Although he was brought up in a non-native community, he
has since reconnected with his Blackfoot roots (Siksika Nation). Ryan learned
the art of black ink drawing from his father Richard (Dicky) Stimson, another
well-known Siksika Nation artist. Among the many exhibitions where he has
presented his work are the City of Calgary and Calgary’s Glenbow Museum. Ryan
will be sharing the Buffalo teachings with our staff and students and in turn,
creating a mural in our multipurpose area. Please come hear him speak at the Parent
Council meeting on Thursday, October 10th at 7 pm.
When Ryan is working with the children, he will be smudging.

This week we
completed our Local Government city maps and had our friends in grade 4/5 come
and learn about what makes a great city. With a Federal election on
October 21st, we will be turning our focus on the voting process and
understanding the different parties and leaders running for election.
We had a great time
at the Apple store on Thursday learning about how to use Keynote (Powerpoint)
and animate and create choose your own adventure stories. We will be
looking at ways to utilize this application in the future for other story
writing pieces and projects.
We will be going to
Nose Hill Park on Monday, after lunch. Please make sure your child wears
appropriate footwear and clothing and brings a water bottle. We will be going
as part of our Trees and Forest unit.
Have a great
weekend,
Ms. Blyth
