Happy Field Trip Day
A huge thank you to Nadia's Mom, Amira's Mom and Colin's Grandma for helping us out today
We had a chilly start to the day but it was a fantastic trip!!
Started off using our knowledge of simple machines to build vehicles that move (our next unit in science). Key word of the morning - innovate! We will be able to continue the activity we did on our field trip with supplies at school. We got to see some incredible older cars as well
In the afternoon we took on the role of a immigrant coming to the prairies and what it was like to take a train to get there (ask your child how long the trip was and some of the conditions they dealt with).
Got to look inside a sod house and a ranch house and make our own butter!
Heritage Park treated us very well and we all learned a lot!!
Stay tuned... Pictures to follow!!
