A Day at the Museum
A Day at the Museum
The great day finally dawned! A Day at the Museum was about to begin. Over the term, we studied the topic ‘Technology in Family Life: Now and Then.’ We learnt about artefacts from the past, archaeological digs and so much more. We went on an excursion to Vaucluse House and learnt about the Wentworth Family who lived there in the 1800s. A Day at the Museum was a culmination of our learning over the term. We curated an exhibition of artefacts belonging to family members. Our favourites were a juicer from 1910, an egg weigher from 1915 and a tendon hammer from the 1900’s. The parents had a fabulous time trying out all our stations. We certainly were ‘historians on the move!’
Thank you children and parents who contributed to such an amazing event. Not even the rain could dampen our spirits! We had such fun learning about the past and guessing what the future might hold!
