Grade Threes Visit Heritage Village

My most special memory of Burnaby Village is when I rode on the Carousel. When I was on one of the horses I felt like I was flying. Also it made me dream. My most farouite part was when I got to sit beside my friends. The hores that I rode was tall. I had lots of trouble getting up on it so I put my hand up and a man who was wearing a red shirt helped me to get up on the wooden horse. The Carousel was really fun. I wanted to ride on it again.

Our class atteneded Seaforth School at Heritage Village on May 30,2005. When we gazed at Seaforth School we thought the building was made of bricks, but it was really made out of wood. This school has a chimney and the top of the roof was not painted. There was only one entrance and there were stairs in front of the door. This one-room schoolhouse has a window frame made of wood. Inside the schoolhouse is a picture of Queen Elizabeth's grandparents. The desks in the classroom was in rows. Ink wells were dug in our desks. There was a bell in the classroom where the teacher rings the bell for recess, lunch and hometime. Serena and I felt uncomfortable when we had to sit up striaght all the time. We also felt nervous when the teacher asked us a question. Serena and I were very glad that we went to Heritage Village and we felt like we were just in 1925.

Our class atteneded Seaforth School at Heritage Village on May 30 and we observed the school. Seaforth School only has one classroom. the dess are attached to one another. there was less light in the classroom. This one-room schoolhouse had pictures of the king and queen hung on their walls and there are four grades. Stilts for playing at recess were in the coatroom. There were more hooks in this coatroom than the hooks in ours. The classroom was separated from the coatroom. This school is made of wood. There are smaller windows compared to ours. It felt strnage and tiring to stand up on the right side of our desks everytime we were asked a question. How uncomfortable and strange it felt to write with a nib pen using the right hand, even if somebody was left-handed! Jasmin and both felt nervous on the stilts. We felt terribly unsteady. Jasmin and I had a great time at Seaforth School, even if we felt just a little scared. Mostly, we felt overjoyed!

My special memory of Burnaby Village is the Carousel. I had a brown horse. At the back of the saddle it had a fish with green eyes and gray fins. It felt like I was on a real horse. The horse had jewels on its saddle. The tail was white as snow. The horse felt like it was flying swifty. What I like about the Carousel is that it's exciting. The horse was covered with little bows. It was so much fun that I wanted to ride it again. When I got off, the other class went on.

My most vivid memory of our field trip to Burnaby Village is when we went to the Carousel. When we were standing outside I was so excited. When we went inside I was sitting on the same horse that was on the ledge of the chalkboard in out classroom at Norquay School. Bonnie was sitting beside me and Naomi and Mrs. Joseph were behind me. After, when Mrs. Holland's class was on the Carousel, Serena was sitting on Bonnie's horse, Fiona (Celia's cousin) was on mine, Tiffany was sitting on the one beside Serena. When I was getting off my horse I felt I was going to fall down. My horse was tall.

My most vivid memory of Burnaby Village is playing marbles. I got the marble in the "ten" hole three times. I got thirty marbles. I won! Then we played a rematch. Kevin and I were tied! Kevin got another ten marbles! I got ten marbles too. Kevin and I were tied again! I said this is "fundamental". Kevin laughed.

Seaforth School was an olden days school. Here are some facts that I want to tell you. The school looked old and the wood looks old. I noticed that there was more wood on the outside than the inside. I thought the roof was old. The classroom was dirty and the floor was squeaky. The seat was attached to the desk. I couldn't move it. After recess I wrote with a straight pen. I was a little scared because I was afraid to make a mistake. I worked in a booklet and I worked with a pencil again. I felt scared inside the school because it was dark. Franky	On May 30, 2005 our class attended Seaforth School at Heritage Village. We pretended we were in 1925. The School was bulit out of wood and the year it was bulit was 1922. When we were doing math we didn't use paper because paper was too expensive in those days. In the school in Heritage Village we didn't do any artwork. The school desks in Seaforth School didn't have any crayons, pencils crayons, or markers in it. The School had very few books because paper was too ezpensive in those days. The class didn't have any staples because it was not invited and there were no telephones in the school. Karlito and I were nervouse when we were holding the straight nib pen. Karlito and Simon	Div. 13 went to Seaforth School at Heritage Village. Seaforth School was very interesting. We pretended that we were in 1922 and everyone had to sit up straight, elbows off the desk. When you want to answer a question we had to get out of our desk and stand up and answer the question. On the chalkboard there is a song. All chairs can fold. There was a chimney on the roof. Everyone had to use a straight nib pen to do cursive writing. The teeacher gave us some spelling. Delilah snd I felt very happy that Div. 13 went to Heritage Village. Fiona and Delilah
Our class attended Seaforth School at Heritage Village on May 30, 2005. Seaforth School was bulit in 1922.The outside looks like a big wooden house with windows. In the inside it was dark and scary, I thought there was a ghost. I did my writing and left because I didn't feel good. I felt very great when I was back in my normal classroom. Mike	On May 30, 2005 our class attend Seaforth School at Heritage Village and we pretended we were in 1925. Seaforth School was built with wood and it has a chimney. It has a small entrance. The windows have wood frames. We pretended to be in 1925 class. When we wanted to talk we had to stand on the right side of the desk. We were thrilled about this trip.

The school called Seaforth School at Heritage Village was very interesting. We would like to tell you some facts. The outside of Seafoth School looks small. There are lots of windows. It has stairs to the door and the door leads us to the classroom. The school is made of wood. The classroom is bigger than todays, because there are seven grades in one classroom. There are no bookshelves, because psper was too expensive. On the table was an inkwell and a bottle. There is a picture of Queen Elizabeth's grandparents. The exercise books look different. There were no tables. There were no dictionaries or thesaurus. The teacher was strict because we were in the 1920's. At recess there are activities like jump ropes and stilts. It was hard standing on the stilts. We liked the field trip to Heritage Village, and we hope to visit Heritage Villlage again. Wendy and Tiffany

My special memory of Burnaby Village was in the Love family farmhouse in the kitchen. I was Jessies Love, the father. I felt like the master of the whole house. Justin, Gurpreet, and others had to chop wood and bring the wood in for the stove.

My most vivid memory of the Burnaby Village is the Carousel. I remember when I tried to get on the horse the first time but it didn't work. I tried again. This time it worked! When I first got on the horse it felt like it was slanted back. When the horse moved it felt even more slanted then ever! It was going up and down, around and around, up and down. When it went really fast, it felt like a real horse-except it's not warn and it's saddle is fake.

My special memory of Burnaby Village is being in the Bell's Dry Goods. I got to be Flora, the clerk. Junisa and Kevin pretended to be customer. Kevin had a basket and Junisa had a list of things that they needed. The first thing on the list was six small, brown buttons. I quickly found them all in the basket. I had so much fun! When I found all the things on the list, the lady who was there with us asked Rebecca and Jeffrey to try on some old-fashioned hats. The old-fashioned hats looked funny compared to the hats we wear now. When we went to the back of the building, where the Bells lived, I thought, "What a small place this is!" I really liked Bell's Dry Goods Store.
