As part of our "The Past" topic, the primary school visited the Silverdale Pioneer Village last week.
We had a fantastic day, looking at the way people in our area used to live.
We loved looking at the olden day toys....
...and the different forms of communication that people used to use, such as telephones, telephone switchboards, televisions, radios and typewriters.
We liked seeing how people used to bathe and
wash their clothes.
Our favourite room was the old school room.
Ashlee made a fantastic teacher ... even if she was a little bit bossy!
The Tui Class had a brilliant day. It helped us to understand that things were a lot different in the olden days.
Beds were harder, there were no electric lights or computers in homes. The people dressed a lot differently and the teachers were a LOT more strict than Mrs Clark is!
