Our Land Acknowledgement shows recognition of and respect for Indigenous peoples from the past and the present. We acknowledge that the property of Richland Academy is situated upon traditional territories of the Anishinabek, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Mississaugas of the Credit, Mississauga and the Wendat peoples.
Recognizing this land is an expression of gratitude and appreciation to those whose territory you reside on, and a way of honouring the Indigenous people who have been living and working on the land from time immemorial.
Our grade 5 students put the learning theory of constructionism into practice by building knowledge through the construction of paper tower structures. Their task was to create the tallest tower possible with only 15 sheets of paper and within a 15 minute time frame. Our young architects produced some very interesting structures and were also able to successfully incorporate unit related concepts and vocabulary into their post-construction reflections.
