Week 2 ANZAC and Cobblestones Museum

Another busy week in Room 3 with the highlight being our trip to Cobblestones Museum in Greytown. Thank you to our wonderful parent helpers for making it such a wonderful day, we were very fortunate also to have sunshine for our picnic afterwards. To follow are a few photos of the group I was with, more photos to come...

Working with our study buddy on our script for our ANZAC puppet pals story, we worked really well as a team and have created both our characters and our background scene. Later in the week we hope to put our stories together and play them on the big screen, or the class TV, watch out Peter Jackson!








Rm 3 at the senior school ANZAC service. We talked about how we had to be very respectful at a memorial service and did a great job of standing tall and listening carefully.


A highlight was a ride in the old car. Lots of noticing differences between transport then and now like no roof and no seatbelts!



The old church was quite different to churches we go to now...

We were so lucky to be able to make our very own press print. The old machinery and steps involved in printing amazed us, very different to press print.





We were so surprised and a little scared of school in the olden days and all the rules. We loved playing olden day students right down to doing tiny script handwriting. We are glad Mrs Sala doesn't have a cane or strap! The trickiest part for some of us was remembering when we could and could not talk.





Being able to touch and explore the old tools was really exciting and helped us to imagine what it must've been like in the olden days.

Rex had us all curious as to what was behind the door in the old toilet, and a lot of us ran away when the door finally opened. This has been a hot topic of conversation since our trip!
