Discover Wetaskiwin’s history and local culture through interactive experiences in our Children’s Legacy Center and First Nation’s Tipi! Our Kindergarten tours consist of 5 stations that are 15 minutes long. The students must be split into 5 groups, and the groups will rotate through each station.
We know that Kindergarten students are eager to interact with their surroundings and each other, so the stations are all geared towards providing instructive play-time.
The Schoolroom – Our schoolroom is modeled after a traditional one-room school, complete with chalk slates, a wood-burning stove, and the Union Jack. The children will participate in a lesson, taught by the station leader, finding out just how different school was in the pioneer days. Naughty kids better watch out, or they’ll find themselves with the dunce cap on their heads!
The Parlour Rooms – The parlour rooms include a small pioneer living room and bedroom. Here the children will discover what has changed around the home and play with historical wooden toys and dress up in pioneer clothing.
