We had a full day primary programme with the year 6 kids from Palmerston!

It was such a fun day and it was jam packed with so many activities including:

  • Having a frightening lesson with Miss Gray
  • A museum visit and handling artefacts
  • A historic walk of Arrowtown which included being locked up in the Old Gaol
  • A tour of the Chinese settlement
  • And some gold panning! Some of the kids even found gold!!!

We finished off the day, just before the hail set in - phew!

What was your favourite part of the day?

Did you find gold?

Who can remember the different materials the Chinese Settlers used to build their huts?

Do you think life would have been easy during the late 1800's or hard? Why?

Comment below with your answers!

Thank you for taking us to the old school. I learnt lots of new stuff. My favourite thing was dressing up.

Hi Lucy, I'm glad you enjoyed wearing the costumes in Miss Grays classroom!
It was great having your class come visit!
