Past+&+Present

__ Past and Present __ Our topic for this term is Past and Present.

We are looking at what life was like in the past versus what life is like now. // Would you prefer to live in the past or now?? Why?? //

At Howick Historical Village we got to have a school lesson that was just like what they did in 1850! You were not allowed to talk unless you were answering a question. We had a fingernail inspection. You had to write with your right hand (even if you were left handed) and we wrote on slate.

We also played outdoor games and indoor toys. Most of their toys were made out of wood. How is this different to our toys and games today?

We also made butter and got to taste it. Looking around the Village we saw that it was very different to how we live now - no electricity, no water out of the tap, no children's bedrooms and very different clothing.
