Grade six goes back in time
Thursday, October 20, 2005 - E. Dykstra -
On September 21, 2005, the grade six class of Rhema Christian School went to Lang Pioneer village on a class trip to learn about pioneer-style schooling.

There were many things to do, including observing and exploring the new environment, playing games and old-fashioned schooling. Grade six students were all dressed up in pioneer clothing and even had pioneer lunches! The lunches included cheese, buns, a cookie and fruits and vegetables that could grow naturally in the area. The school was just a one-room schoolhouse. The only heating was the wood stove in the middle, and the only light was from the sun and an oil lamp.

After a long day of very exciting and fun things to do, the grade six class came back to school exhausted and talked about all the fun they had had. Some people were wishing that it had been an overnight trip and that the class could have spent a night in the hotel. Others objected and said that if they had stayed they would have fought over who slept in what bed, and who didn’t get a bed. But, in the end, students were all glad that they got to sleep in their own beds. After a good night’s sleep, all were refreshed and ready to go back to school.
