BISON, not to be confused with buffalo which are found throughout Asia and Africa, are found mostly in North America. Bison are a sacred animal to Native Americans who would hunt the bison, using every part of it for their basic food, clothing and shelter needs. After nearly being hunted to extinction by settlers, bison herds were preserved and are no longer considered an endangered species.

The children learnt about the habitat of the bisons and then painted their landscapes.  They drew their bison with oil pastel and sponge painted it to create the fur texture. 

I think you will agree that they did an amazing job!

We learnt about the Canadian fishing industry and the small towns that rely on fishing for their economy.  The children then used watercolours and oil pastels to create these stunning fishing boats.
