6R & SK Learn About Germs
On the morning of December 9th, the class of 6R paired up with the SKs to learn about germs. In the science lab, there were four activities: viewing germs under the microscope, glo germs, watching a video about hand washing and drawing your own germs.
6R took the leadership role of being a big buddy and the SKs listened very carefully. A highlight of the morning was drawing your own germs. Another highlight was when the SKs spread a solution called “Glo Germs” on their hands. The solution left a residue of imaginary germs that stayed behind even after hand washing! The SKs used a black light to see what imaginary germs remained and they learned that germs can hide in fingernail beds, in between our fingers and on the backs of our hands. All important information to encourage good handwashing skills for future!

Land Acknowledgment
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
