Arts Smarts
During the school year, 2005-06, Eastern Kings Consolidated School was lucky enough to have been chosen to participate in the ArtsSmarts project. This gave us the means and opportunity to have local artists visit our school, sharing their knowledge and skills with both students and teachers. Over the period of a few months, we created three incredible projects while working with talented artists.
Grade 4, 5, and 6 students learn what school was like in different parts of Eastern PEI before consolidation and how education has changed as a result. Students enjoyed interviewing the seniors and this allowed them to connect with an older generation that they may not otherwise connect with.
Grade 7 and 8 students learn about how the Elmira train station used to operate and the different jobs that the seniors had at the station, along with realizing that the Elmira Railway Station is an important historical part of their community. Students enjoyed interviewing the seniors, while allowed them to connect with an older generation that they otherwise might not have come into contact with.
