On Tuesday 6 September, Year 2 went on their first-ever excursion to the Quarantine Station at North Head. This excursion aligned with our Unit of Inquiry which has a strong history focus \u2013 Personal narratives inform us about the past.<\/em> During the excursion, the students engaged in immersive learning experiences to hunt for clues in the present to reveal stories from the past. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The students heard stories and learnt about the significance of this historical heritage site as a doorway for people arriving in Australia. We learnt about the processes that were in place to ensure the safety and health of our beautiful country. Some of our Year 2 students have reflected on this exciting day below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The excursion assisted the students in meeting the History syllabus outcomes, in particular, in exploring how a historical site has changed over time. The excursion also allowed the students to develop their capacity for empathy and understanding, very important social and emotional skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was fun learning about history and how we live differently today from the past.<\/p>Sara Porfida<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I found it so interesting and sad when I found out that some children used to die before they turned 5 because of diseases, and that the average life expectancy was 40 years old.<\/p>Gabriel El-Khoury<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I learned about artefacts. An artefact is something that is old that people used a long time ago. Some of the artefacts we saw were a candle holder, a phone and a typewriter.<\/p>Romee Lee<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
