Wow!  We had a fantastic day at the Heritage Fair.  First we visited the Grade Five classroom.  They taught us all about the Acadians and what life was like for them many years ago.  Following that presentation we had the opportunity to learn about quilting and examine the many different beautiful quilts.  There was even a quilt that was made by the students from Mme. Sheppard's Grade Four class.  Next the Grade Ones showed us many different tools that were used in the pioneer home.  Some of the items we saw were a washboard to clean clothing, spinning wheel to make yarn, and a broom carved from a log.  Our favorite event was going outside to see the farm animals.  The farmer had goats, donkey, chickens, sheep and a miniature horse.  We even got to taste apple cider!  It was a wonderful field trip!
