Last week was Multicultural Week at Chantrell Creek. Our morning messages were given in a variety of different languages from teachers and students. Chantrell Creek is rich in language. Just have a look at all the different languages that we speak.
On Wednesday we had a variety of presenters come to the school to showcase their talents and customs from their cultural heritage. Some of the exciting activities we were fortunate to see and participate in included an authentic Cape Breton "kitchen party," Chinese painting, and a First Nations presentation.
The kitchen party!
The video does not do the activity justice but it does give you an idea of the fun we had!

A demonstration of the art of Chines painting. We learned they write from right to left and top to bottom. Many of our students understood the presentation in their native language!
Jenson got to try painting a frog. He did an amazing job!
Thank you Chantrell Creek. We truly are fortunate to have such a rich and diverse learning environment!
