Classroom Learning
We had a fantastic time at the Interpretive Centre today! Students spent the morning working with members and employees of the CPS, learning about bullying, online safety, and healthy relationships. With bullying, students learned that there are 4 main types of bullying: cyber, social, physical, and verbal. These can sometimes overlap. In online safety, they discussed the impact of bullying online, as well as how to navigate and use social media in a safe way. Students were able to practice the skills they learned when creating a mock social media page by designing one which was safe and private enough to protect them from things such as phishing scams and identity theft. In healthy relationships, students discussed the many different types of relationships (friends, classmates, coworkers, family, etc.) that they have in their life. They learned how to tell the difference between a relationship that is healthy, and one that is unhealthy. A healthy relationship is safe and happy!
In the afternoon, students were able to further study the evidence from the crime we were assigned, using their knowledge to identify the suspects involved. Students used clues gathered from hair and fibre samples, fingerprints, and footwear prints, witness and suspect statements, and police reports to narrow down our suspects. At the end, students practiced dusting for fingerprints using materials that would actually be used by the CPS in an investigation.
We were able to spend some time exploring the interactive museum, checking out the different components and parts of the police force, such as the K-9 unit and the mounted police. Students even had a chance to sit in a police car.
