Winter Learning Journey Day 5 Activity 1

It was Freezing and I was scared I had no idea what was going to happen next. I started walking around and then I saw sun set. Every direction I looked it was either trees or a bunch of bushes. I built a tent knowing that I was going to be here until morning. I made a fire using some sticks that I found while walking around. As the sky faded into a dark blue I put my hands over the fire to keep myself warm. I go to sleep hoping that my group comes to find me. In the morning I woke up with a bunch of people in my face. When I sit up I realise that its my group, I was so happy to see all of them I thanked them for finding me and we went back home.

School in the 1840's - Howick historical museum

Rooms 8 and 7 went to the lesson that was teaching us about what happend a long time ago at schools. She said that girls would leave school at about the age of 12. They left school so that they could find a nice husband. She also said that if kids wrote with their left hand they would tie it behind their backs so that the kids would learn how to write with their right hand. That is very crazy.

Wooden toys from the 1840's - Howick historical museum

My classroom (room 8) went with room 7 to play with toys from the 1840's. Mostly every toy was made out of wood. There was only 1 toy made out of metal that toy was the most expensive in there days. It was really fun playing on the stilts because how taller you felt. I really liked this activity.

Butter making.

On Tuesday rooms 7,8,12 and 10 went to the Howick historical museum. One of the activities were butter making. The only ingredient was milk. All we had to do was mix and mix and mix with a twist on whisk. We were told to sing a song. The people who would do this would sing this song so that they could past time and dont get bored.
