Heritage Park Day

What a beautiful day we had to go back in time to Heritage Park! We are all pretty tired out, but had so much fun...

• seeing horses, cows, chickens, turkeys
• looking inside old houses
• seeing people making pies and bread
• touching fur in the Hudson Bay Company Fort
• sitting inside a tipi
• playing in the school yard
• sitting in the old school (the teacher was pretty strict!)
• watching and riding the old train
• watching the blacksmith hammer on the anvil
• hearing about how the doctors used onions and medicine
• getting put inside a real jail cell by a NWMP (North West Mounted Police)
• going to the candy store, the bakery and the ice cream parlour!

Ask me what my favorite part was! Here are some pictures...because Mrs. Armour had a group she was with - these pictures are mostly of her group - feel free to check out Mrs. Boyer's and Mrs. Hamby's blog to see their pictures too!

TOMORROW IS SWIMMING in the afternoon - please remember your swimsuit, towel and a separate bag to keep your wet stuff in after swimming (then you don't have to carry your whole backpack to the pool!)

FRIDAY IS A NON-INSTRUCTIONAL DAY - No school for students.

 "Jumping into 1915"

 No water in here - but we found a nest of baby birds!

 "Hey, this buffalo rubbing stone isn't magical!"

 Can you imagine living in a sod house all winter?

 Listening carefully to the teacher!

 Finally, the candy store!!

 Wanted - a few students from Dr. E.W. Coffin!
