The fourth and fifth grade students of Wakefield School will be traveling to Colonial Williamsburg on Oct. 28 for a three day visit. The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation provides educational study/visit programs for overnight school groups from fourth grade through graduate school.
The opportunities for studying colonial America and 18th century community life cannot be equalled in the classroom or a family visit.
The thematic overview for the Wakefield trip will be “Young People — Old Times.” Students will discover the life patterns of an 18th century town as they walk with historical interpreters to investigate family and community life, visit domestic properties to gain understanding of colonial families, explore the relationship of these families to the surrounding community, observe and talk to craftsmen at work and examine the public buildings that served the colonial community.
The historical interpreters, who are skilled study/visit leaders, use a variety of teaching methods, materials and learning centers to engage the interest and participation of the students in an effort to enrich and deepen their understanding of ColoRCES
