Kim Foden

On Wednesday 19th we had a very busy day again. At first break we held a bake sale outside our classroom. It was a very successful event and raised over £104 which will go towards the cost of some of our class trips. A huge thank you to everyone for all their hard work and  donations of baking.

In the afternoon we invited Kim Foden in to talk to us about the Hudson Bay company and her family links with the Cree Indians - a First Nations tribe in Canada.
She brought in some Hudson Bay and First Nations goods to show us and had a slide show with pictures of Canada and her relatives. 
Some of the items Kim showed us.

A beaver fur and the Hudson Bay flag.



She also showed us how to set up a tipi and has let us borrow her model tipi so that we can practise setting it up ourselves.
