Living the Past 1800s
Students gain insight into what everyday life would have been like living in the late 1800s. They will experience the clothing (pinafores and waistcoats will be provided), homes, games and chores common to the times. Real objects from the late 1800s will be used to make to make butter and pikelets, to shave, curl hair, do the washing, iron and create a print of their name to take away.
