Our student teachers in grade 4, Ms. Wold and Mrs. Burgess, planned and lead a wonderful project for all of our grade 4 students based on the book "Dawn Flight". The student's final art projects are simply beautiful.

Using "Dawn Flight" as our mentor text, the students completed a directed drawing of an eagle feather. They outlined their feathers using a black oil pastel and painted their page using 2 watercolour painting techniques.

"The eagle is a symbol of truth, power and freedom as it roams the sky. Its wings represent the balance between male and female, each dependent upon the strengths and abilities of the other. When one holds the eagle feather, one must speak the truth as positively as one can, for the ear of the Creator is that much closer to the feather of the eagle. Therefore, First Nations people honour the feather of the eagle with great care, showing it respect and honesty at all times. To be given an eagle feather is the highest honour that can be awarded within First Nations culture."

At Black Gold and RBES we utilize Hour Zero for our Emergency and Safety protocols. With the nice weather upon us we have had a few evacuation practices over the last couple of weeks. We were creative in our practices to ensure we were still following Covid protocols and keeping our students safe with physical distancing. You can read a summary about the Evacuation procedure below. As well, I have included the parent summary document below for all procedures as a refresher for you as well! We will be doing some additional drill practices in the coming weeks for: Shelter in Place, Hold and Secure, and a Lock Down. Please let us know if you have any questions! You can find additional information on the RBES website or Black Gold's website under the About tab and scroll down to the Emergency section.
