On Monday 19th June Year 1 went on an excursion to Rouse Hill House and Farm. The children went back in time and experienced what life was like for a child in 1889.
They dressed up in their clothing, experienced what school was like in those times and the kinds of things they learnt. The children tried writing on slate boards and participated in a sewing class and a marching lesson. The children learnt the ways boys and girls greet each other and how ladies always go before gentlemen! After lunch the children had an opportunity to have a guided tour of the farm grounds. We explored Mr Rouse’s stables, potting shed, carts, greenhouse. The children also pumped water from the well, walked buckets of milk from the cow shed and fed the chickens common chores children in 1889 had to do daily.
We all had a great day and would like to thank the parents and teachers that joined us.
