Then and Now - our trip to Howick Historical Village

We all enjoyed our trip to Howick Historical Village and found out all about the olden days. Everything was so different. We thought we would rather live now than back then because the children have more fun now.

 The toys in the olden days are wooden. These ones can be moved by pulling on the cord below.

 This is a house from the olden days. When we walked inside we could see old furniture and carpet.

 We learnt some nursery rhymes. Some of them we knew but some of them we hadn't heard before. It was interesting hearing the stories about why nursery rhymes were invented.

 We even did some movements to the words of nursery rhymes!

Room 5 visits a classroom from a long time ago.

At Howick Historical Village the small children had to line up first, bigger children at the back because they had only one classroom for big and little children.

The teacher wore a bonnet and a cloak. She thought the adults had come to school in their underwear.

The girls go first. Hands in front. Boys go last hands behind backs.

Boys had to be the gentlemen and bowed. The girls did a curtsy. Then we sat down.

We had to sit up straight and have our hands on our laps.

The teacher is inspecting our hands to see if they are clean.

Azaria and Bentley are writing on slates like they did in the olden days.
