Today we were very lucky to see and be part of the Cultural Wheel presentation. We learned a dance to Acadian music that demonstrated partner work. We were able to showcase this dance during the full school assembly. Part of the cultural wheel is about folklore. We listened to a story about a little mouse who went on a journey to see a great mountain. Each quadrant of the gym was divided into the cardinal directions and each direction was given an animal. Throughout the story, each direction and animal was included. We were captivated by his storytelling. At the end we were told that now each of us knows the story and could pass it along to others to keep it going. This is a huge part of folklore. We also learned the red river jig which was a big part of Metis culture. Ask me to show you some of the feet you can do during the jig.
