Riversdale School sent their year 1 - 3 students to learn about the past today! It was a very busy day, but it was lots of fun!

The students had a scary experience first thing in the morning with an 1800's school lesson taught by Miss Gray. This followed by a visit in the museum which included handling artefacts and exploring our exciting displays.

In the afternoon, students had a historic walk of Arrowtown where they got to visit the old Gaol... The afternoon also included students having a hands on experience of what it was like to be a child during the 1800's. Students had to wash clothes by the Arrow river, make butter, and play old fashioned school games.
