The weather cooperated and we had a fantastic time at the Manitoba Agricultural Museum! 2M and 2T students and parent volunteers had a blast as they traveled through time back to the olden days.
The kids went through 6 different hands on stations where they; watched a blacksmith in action and got a horseshoe nail necklace, they made rope at the General Store, they made candles in an old house, they did laundry the old fashioned way and received some homemade soap, they sat in an old school and used a quill and ink, and they worked with sheep's wool and watched it be made to yarn.
I think a great day was had by all and the kids got a lot of exercise walking to the stations and they learned a lot about the way things used to be.
A huge thanks to our parent volunteers who made it possible for Mrs. Thornton and I to walk around taking pictures and trouble shooting issues.
