Going Back In Time At Pataka Museum 

On Monday Room 7 and Room 10 went to Pataka Museum. We went to the special museum classroom and learnt all about life in the 1800s. The children took part in 4 different activities. These were: Dressing up in period costumes

                                         Washing and Ironing

                                          Printing on slate boards and with ink pens

                                          A matching game matching modern and 19th century items and                                                     comparing them

Thanks to our three parent helpers: Anita and Daniel Woodgate and Deborah Blythen for there fantastic involvement in the activities. It was a great experience for the children and all the activities were hands on and very interesting. The photos below show you what the children experienced. They were all highly engaged in their learning and fun was had by all.

At the End of the Day

One of the reading groups read this story for their guided reading and asked if we could have a go at doing this activity. So late on Friday afternoon I read the story to the whole class while the children made their own circle and followed the directions of what to do. There was a lot of laughter and some children found it very ticklish to have someone write on their back.
