On Friday, Year 1 students stepped into the past during an engaging excursion to Elizabeth Farm, where they explored how the Macarthur family and their servants lived in a time before running water, electricity, and modern appliances. The excursion supported their history unit on \u2018Past, Present and Future,\u2019 offering rich opportunities to compare contemporary life with colonial times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students participated in a variety of hands-on activities and object-based learning experiences. They washed clothes by hand, explored the kitchen garden to see what was growing, and discussed how people lived before supermarkets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside in the garden, students played traditional 19th-century games such as hoops, skittles, quoits, and cup and ball, experiencing firsthand how children entertained themselves before digital devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the excursion, students were encouraged to ask questions, think critically, and reflect on the differences between life ‘then and now.’ The program\u2019s emphasis on hands-on learning helped bring history to life in a meaningful and memorable way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
