Our Field Trip to Mennonite Heritage Village!

Last week, our class went on an exciting field trip to the Mennonite Heritage Village in Steinbach! It was like stepping back in time and getting to see what life was like many years ago.

We explored lots of old houses, barns, churches, and schools. One of the coolest buildings we saw was a grass-roofed semlin! We learned that people used buildings like these for storage and other important jobs.

There were so many interesting things to see outside, too. We saw antique tractors, cars, trucks, and even an old firetruck! It was amazing to see how different vehicles looked compared to the ones we use today.

One of the biggest highlights was getting to climb up on a windmill. We could see so much from up high! It was definitely an experience we won't forget.

Of course, we can't forget the General Store! Getting to go inside and buy candy was a favourite part of the day. There were so many treats to choose from, and it was fun to experience what shopping might have been like in the past.

Our trip to Mennonite Heritage Village was a great way to learn about history while having fun with our classmates. We saw, explored, climbed, and learned so much. It was a field trip we will remember for a long time!

Festival du Voyageur

Our class had a fantastic time learning about and celebrating Festival du Voyageur, a special Winnipeg tradition that celebrates French-Canadian and Métis history and culture.

We enjoyed learning about the voyageurs, exploring the sights and sounds of the festival, and experiencing some of the traditions that make this event so special. Of course, one of the highlights was enjoying maple taffy (tire sur la neige)—a sweet treat made by pouring warm maple syrup onto snow and rolling it onto a stick! 🍁

It was a fun-filled day of history, music, culture, and hands-on learning, giving us a chance to experience an important part of Manitoba’s heritage while having lots of fun along the way!

Our Visit to the Morris & District Centennial Museum

A Trip Back in Time! 🕰️

We had a great time visiting the Morris and District Centennial Museum! It felt like we were stepping back in time as we explored all of the interesting things from our local community’s past.

We took part in a fun scavenger hunt, where we had to search through the museum and find different items. We also made a special little craft gift box to take home. One of our favourite parts was getting to enjoy some delicious home baking!

There were so many cool things to see throughout the museum. Some of our favourite displays were the old-fashioned schoolroom, sports memorabilia, old tools, and rooms from a historic home. It was interesting to see how people lived, worked, played, and went to school many years ago.

We had a fun day learning about our local history while exploring and spending time together. It was a great way to discover what life was like in the past! 🏡📚

🌾 Discovering the Living Prairie Museum

Our class had an amazing day exploring the Living Prairie Museum! We learned so much about nature and the world right beneath our feet.

First, we dug into the soil to see what was hiding there. We discovered decomposers—tiny creatures that help break down old plants and turn them into rich, healthy soil. We even learned how composting uses the same process to help gardens grow.

Next, we explored the wild grasses of the prairie. Some were tall, some short, and each had its own way of surviving in the open wind and sunshine. Along the way, we talked about the needs of all living things—like food, water, air, and shelter—and how plants and animals find them in the prairie.

It was a day full of digging, discovering, and appreciating the amazing prairie ecosystem. We can’t wait for our next outdoor adventure!

The grade 3-4 classes went on a field trip to A Maze in Corn. We looked for dinosaur clues in the maze, went on a horse and wagon ride, visited the petting zoo, cooked s'mores, played on the hay bale pyramid and did some team building games. We had a great day!

We spent the morning visiting Lucy and her animals at the farm. We met Wilbert, Gus Gus, Cristabelle, Eclair, Rebel and many other friends.

Winnipeg Gold Eyes

Take me out to the ball game… take me out to the field.. We went to Winnipeg to see a Goldeyes baseball game.

 

Our Visit to the Morris Museum

We visited the Morris Museum and learned a lot about the history of Morris. We saw many tools, toys, war memorabilia and even what old rooms would have looked like. The wonderful volunteers told us many stories about where the items came from and how they were used. We even learned how to play some older games. Thank you for the homemade cookies!

Canoeing, horseback riding, archery, ropes course, giant swing and wall climbing were all activities we did that day. We also visited with the animals in the petting zoo and roasted hotdogs on the campfire. We hope to visit the camp again one day! We had a great day!
