For Social Studies, we fifth graders went on a Field trip to Slater Mill.
We learned about many historical events that happened at Slater Mill.
We also learned about the slaves in the fields, and how the slaves were out in the heat picking cotton as fast as they could. We went to a house and saw how people lived back then and the trouble they had to go through if there was an emergency. When we visited a real water wheel, and a miniature replica, we saw the structure and how it starts and how it works. After we went to a factory.
In the factory that was where we saw all the machines that they were using and getting hurt on.
Last but not least we watched a movie that was talking about how kids were working in the factory, and what kinds of accidents could happen if you did something wrong. And overall, it was the most fun I ever had on a Social Studies field trip ever!
