Did You Know…? The oldest known recipe for soup is flavoured with hippopotamus.

Good evening,

Today was our official last day of the Appalachian Region. To celebrate we ended with looking at an import symbol of identity for many in the Appalachian Region – lighthouses. Students were first challenged to research a lighthouse in the province of PEI. Students could choose from:

  • West Point
  • Point Prim
  • Victoria Rangelight
  • Panmure Head
  • Wood Islands
  • East Point
  • Cape Bear

Students started their research by using the link below, and then were able to look up further information about their lighthouse if needed.

We also were able to watch this small video about one of the world’s tallest lighthouses in beautiful Leeuwin National Park:

In Art, students began creating pieces inspired by the work completed on lighthouses this morning. Using warm colours for their sky and cool colours for their water, students used tissue paper to add a lot of texture and vibrancy to their work. Check out some of the completed pieces below.
