Heritage Village

The Grade 3s enjoyed a hands-on field trip to the Heritage Village today.
 

The students explored the pioneer town by taking part in a village detective quest.

 


 

The barber/doctor office!


 

 

The General Store

Students had a real lesson in history when they churned butter in a traditional log house and made candles in a jail (not typical of pioneer times)!
 

 

 
 

 

 

The students experienced a day in one-room school house.
 

 

 

 

 

They were given traditional pioneer names and had an opportunity to use slate boards.
We tried to read some tongue twisters!


Teachers had some pretty strict rules!


 

 

 

At “recess time” children played with vintage toys and even a bow and arrow.

The weather was mild for a town tour and parents, grandparents, students and teachers had a wonderful day!
