Mrs Sargood visits the Junior School 2024
On Thursday morning the junior school students had a special visitor, Mrs Sargood from the National Trust. The Mrs Sargood incursion brings history to life for our students through the 'Then and Now: The Past in Your Class' program.
Mrs Sargood transformed our classroom into a time machine, allowing the students to step back and experience life as it was in the past. Through interactive activities, story telling and hands on learning, she helped our students understand and appreciate the differences and similarities between life today and life many years ago.
The students were transported back to an era where children "should be seen and not heard" and experienced the many rules and formalities of life in the 1800s. They were also given the chance to see how challenging and time consuming writing with a nib and ink was. Students gained an idea of what it was like to go to school in the 1800s with an emphasis on school being 'No Fun'! Times have definitely changed!
Check out our gallery of the students stepping back in time.
