Museum Visit

We had a great visit to the museum today!  We took part in the 'Early Settlers Schooling and Games' exhibition.


We got to dress up in olden day clothes, play games and see what it was like to go to school then.  We were taught some rhymes and a little dance.


We had lots of fun!Thank you very much to the parents who came along with us!


Look at us in our dress ups!

Look at how much fun we had!

Havelock North Primary

Wow look at this photo of our school when it first opened!



150 Years Ago - What Was School Like?

To begin our new theme Miss Hill glued some photos on big pieces of paper.  In groups we brainstormed what we already know and wrote questions about the photos.



We then tried a new way brainstorm our ideas.  Miss Hill created a 'Google Document' and put a photo of an olden day classroom.  We worked together in groups on the computers.  A 'Google Document' meant we could all type on the same document at the same time!  It was very confusing to begin with but we got the hang of it!
