What was this hut used for?
Yesterday it was Clyde School's junior classes which made the trip up the Kawarau Gorge to Arrowtown to experience the museum's GOLD 150 programme!
Students completed a range of activties - exploring the Chinese village and seeing just how small the huts really were!!! They searched for clues to the treasure hunt in the museum finding a range of artefacts all to do with the great gold rush!! Then they braved the cold, chilly Arrow River and panned for gold, washed dirty aprons and made butter...all to simulate life as a miner!!
Clyde School Rooms 5 & 6 we hope you had a fun day at the museum...write to us about it on this blog!
