Otautau School literally captured the past during a trip to the Lakes District Museum. Students dressed in 1880s costume and planned and posed in a series of photographed shots around historic Arrowtown.

Students first learnt about the history of photography and examined our Box Brownie and Rolleiflex camera's from the early 1900's. Old camera's were passed around the group of students, and everyone felt how heavy and bulky they were! Nothing like the small digital camera's most people use today.

During a historic walk of Arrowtown and a tour of the Chinese settlement, students were introduced to the local stories about this area. The tours also gave the students the opportunity to pose at some historic sites, some of which was over a 100 years old!

We hope you had a good day Otautau and looking forward to seeing some pics and hearing about it on this blog!!
