My favorite part of the field trip was when we went down to the place were they cook the food. It realy looked like we were in a place were they cook the food. One more thing I liked about the field trip was when we went to see the cotton gin. It was so cool!!!!!!! I wish we could go again. If you have never been there you should go. The field trip was spectacular.

My favorite part of the field trip was see all the animals .When I look closely I saw a ram it was so cool to see it. There was some chickens that was wondering.
By Matthias

My favorite thing about the field trip was when we went to the field that grew cash crops like the cotton we pick some of are own. It was so fluffy in my experiments. That ram fur was different than cotton because the cotton stays furry and the ram dries quick and cotton stays the same by water.

I had so much fun. I really like how they let use explore ensted of just telling use about it. Something I learned was that there were many different parts of the American revolution and not just one part. BY: Hailey R.

I loved the field trip. My favorite part was when we went to the loyalists women’s house she made me feel like I was really in that year. I liked it when we split into groups and got to see all the houses and plantations also I was in my mom’s group and my group members were Caroline, Lauren, Hayley, Hailey, Bailey, and I.

I loved the field trip. I loved when we went to the first house the women told us that her husben found people in the back yard and had a15minite battle they won. They brot them inside and healed them so the captin was last. Couple years later the same people came to the house and said, where is your husben she said, I don’t know so one tried to kill her but the other one koted the wepon out of his hand.

I learned that cotton was the was one of the cash crops from the south. I love seeing the slaves and the large plantations.The plantation owners house was very huge. I can’t believe it was from the old times!! I loved the field trip to Historic Brattonsville!! I explored the slaves and plantations with my friends!!!

One thing I liked about the fild trip was, going around to the people and they would act like they lived in the time of the Revulutinary War. They told us facts and the two sides of the war, just incase you don’t know the sides it was the Lollist v.s the Patriots.
