Highlights
What did you learn today?
We participated in a skill building day. We learned from Mr. L about thinking critically when we look at maps, we learned how to follow a recipe while making a traditional first nation bread called bannock and we learned how to tie a variety of knots which we can use with our shelters. 
How did you show what you learned?
We worked with experts in each field who were passionate about their skills. 
What do you need to learn next?
We need to take these skills up to Nosehill and find ways to apply these skills to our real life.
