over the past week students have been highly engaged in Truth & Reconciliation. We created reconciliACTION rocks and participated in a discussion with Sheldon First Rider. We are so grateful to have had Sheldon share his stories us 🧡 #RVSed #BeCrossfield @WGMurdoch

Gr.8 humanities students have been learning about Edo Japan! We held a town hall debate where we discussed what Canada would be like if we completely isolated ourselves from the rest of the world like Japan during the Edo Period, and then held a referendum. #RVSed @WGMurdoch

in Forensics 7/8, we’ve been learning about blood spatter! We learned how fake blood drops can change with gravity and how patterns can change with different forces applied to a fake blood source. So messy but so fun! @WGMurdoch #RVSed

[Melissa Kneeshaw @mlkneeshaw]

In Forensic Science 7/8, we have been comparing different methods of fingerprinting to see which leaves clearer prints. Ink or graphite? @WGMurdoch #RVSed

Sports Med 7/8/9 students have borrowed the gym to work on our life-size skeletons! COVID-19 is making us be extra flexible this year— trying to maintain social distancing while still incorporating fun projects can be tricky. @WGMurdoch #RVSed

Just as we teach children to observe physical hygiene for its benefits to our health, we need to teach them to cultivate emotional hygiene. They need to learn how to tackle their destructive emotions and achieve peace of mind.
