Fort Langley - October 6th

Today the 44 students of 5C and 5S went on a field trip to Fort Langley.

We panned for gold, carried fur bundles on our backs, and wrote with old-fashioned pens.

We visited the oldest building in British Columbia, we watched a blacksmith make an iron hook, and we learned how to build a house without using nails.






When we saw the blacksmiths make coat hooks,
they made the iro
n red hot in the open fire and
th
en shaped the iron into place.












We toured the servants' quarters
and we learned why the people came to Fort Langley, how they travelled there, and what their jobs were at the Fort.

Fort Langley was a great experience and we learned a lot of interesting information!
