Communities in Canada

Students viewed a map of Canada and practiced learning about the differences between cities, provinces and country.

We live in a community of Vista Heights, 

that is in the city of Calgary, 

in the province of Alberta,

in the country of  Canada.

We have studied different communities in Canada and today we stared our study of the Acadian people from the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

Students created postcards which had a picture on the front and a fact about the Acadian people on the back.

There were lots of trees so they could build log houses. 

Acadians spoke French.

They grew food on their farms.

They had to leave so they buried things for when they came back.

Please find more information by Tigana.

She was a grade two student form Alberta who travelled to Nova Scotia
 to learn more about the Acadian people.
