Exploring the 1850's

Yesterday Room 24 joined Room 23 and Room 25 on an adventure to the Howick Historical Village. We got to see what it was like in 1850. We experienced life in the classroom, games, how people lived and they communicated.

We really liked the Homestead Mansion and the School we went to. In the classroom girls got to go first, always. The girls had to look pretty and the boys had to look strong because they were looking for their wife at 12 years old!!!! That is just CRAZY!!

 

 

We had such a great day!

Young Ocean Explorers

Today we had a visit from Riley from Young Ocean Explorers. Today she told us many stories about life in the ocean. 

One thing that amazed us was that a Bryde whale can grow up to 15 meters long! That was almost as long as our school hall.

The boys helping Riley to measure 15 meters 

We also watched a video of a baby Orca whale. It was very inquisitive of the boat Riley and her family were on.

What does the word inquisitive mean? Have you ever been inquisitive before? Tell me about this.
