  • Branches correspondence students discover the past!What's in the box?

Today saw the correspondence students from Branches make a flying (literally) visit to the Museum with their families. They expereinced three different acitivties during their visit. Miss Grey and the 1880s classroom, hands on artefacts and gold panning. In Miss Grey's classroom they sketched, practised hand-writing and counted using an abacus! Hands on artefacts saw them put on white gloves and learn about objects from the Wakatipu's past. They panned in the Arrow River and were experts  - all finding gold!!

We hope you enjoyed your trip and look forward to hearing your comments on this blog!!
