Room 8 visit to Ferrymead

The Room 8 children enjoyed a day at Ferrymead Heritage Park reliving Early Canterbury. when we arrived we changed into clothes the children would have worn a hundred years ago. the boys had to learn to let the girls walk through doorways first.

We went to see an old-fashioned movie with no speaking. After that we went to the bakery to learn about a wood oven and we baked some biscuits. He had to work hard at the policeman's cottage doing washing and cleaning. We feel sorry for the children who lived a hundred years ago. After that we visited the school. The teacher, Mrs Black, was very strict. The desks were uncomfortable but we did like writing with the ink pen and blotting paper.

The tram ride after our picnic lunch was exciting.

We are pleased we did not live a hundred years ago. We think children have more fun today.
