Grade 7: Parent/Guardian IDU Quebec City Info Night

Zoom
Interdisciplinary learning is a highlight of the Middle Years Programme (MYP). This year, we are excited to offer a Grade 7 Interdisciplinary Unit (IDU) experience in Quebec City from February 27 to March 1, 2024. 
 
About the Trip
The IDU will combine History with Language Acquisition. Students will participate in numerous cultural activities while communicating in French and learning about the history of the areas we are visiting. Tentatively scheduled activities include:
  • City exploration rally of Old Quebec city
  • Traditional countryside dinner with local entertainment, followed by a maple taffy pull 
  • Indigenous experience at the traditional Huron site in Wendake
  • Batailles 1759–1760 and military workshops conducted by National Battlefield Commission staff on the Plains of Abraham
  • Tour of the world-famous Ice Hotel and snow tubing at Village Valcartier
Parent/Guardian Information Evening
A complete itinerary, including all finalized activities and risk management details, will be provided prior to the parent information evening on Tuesday, December 5 at 7:00 p.m. on Zoom.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
We wish to acknowledge this land on which Branksome operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Wendat, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work and go to school on this land.*

*The Land Acknowledgement may evolve as we honour our commitment to Truth and Reconciliation in partnership with Indigenous communities.
