Tompkins Primaries learned about Miākmaq drums today, made their own hand drums and then used them to drum the beat of the Miākmaq Honour Song. Later they took to their sit spots outside to take part in a guided nature meditation. @TompkinsMemori1 @CBVRCE_NS

June is National Indigenous History Month. Tompkins Primary A participated in a guided mindfulness meditation today outside in their sit spots. They then took some time to use their senses to write about what they saw, heard, and felt in their sit spot. @CBVRCE_NS
