At the start of the Term, Year 1 went on an Excursion to the Fairfield City Museum and Gallery. Students were immersed in experiences about what it was like living in the past. The Excursion was a part of their Unit of Inquiry where they are focusing on understanding how the past informs the way people live.
Students learnt about:
Doing laundry without a washing machine.
Writing with an ink pen.
How the shops were different.
Different forms of currency used.
When asked about what was their favourite part of the Excursion, students replied:
“The drawing with the ink pen” - Arlo 1M
“When I dressed up in a costume” - Miraya 1M
“When we got to see the dunny” Audrey 1W
“When we went to the Caversham and the man was saying back in the OLLLLLLD days” - Adam 1W
“I liked the school. It was interesting to know that you couldn’t write with your left hand” - Taya 1B
“I liked the Blacksmith. He had cool stuff” Xavier 1B
