Hello, 5B families!
We have been enjoying a rich Social Studies unit on Canadian government. We’ve learned about levels of government (federal, provincial, and municipal), elections and voting (past and present day practices), and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
As well, we have explored topics specific to BC politics in preparation for our exciting field trip to the parliament buildings. While we were there, we watched and participated I. a fabulous travelling theatre presentation called, “My Place in Politics”. Students were encouraged to learn about their rights and seek ways to participate in democracy.
