TA 9 Visits Buckingham House

TA 9 leaves the ‘Modern World’ ready to explore the past.

Barbara explains differentitems that were used atBuckingham House, which was once a dairyfarm.

In our groups...We are ready torelive the past.

Our first job is to start churningthe cream to make the butter. Now it will be ready in time For our morning tea!!!

Katie and Maree helped us with sewing ourhessian mat.

What a great jobwe are all doing!Well Done Maisy!Morgan and Jacobare concentrating extremely hard.

Time to cook morning tea.

It was time to learn how kitchens were in the old days. NO microwaves (wooden stoves) NO fridges....but worstNO dishwasher!!!!!

After following the recipe and measuring and kneading....it’s time to cook in the wooden oven.

After learning about how the dairy farm worked day to day, we turned our hands to drawing it.

Amelia, Tyson and Rachael do the washing on a wash board.Then you rinse it in ‘the purple water’Jacob’s mastered using the wringer.While Amber and Dylan hang it Out.

With the washing doneIt’s time to hang it outAnd then time to iron it!

Guess what we’re making......Toilet Paper!!! That’s right!

Yippee!!! After all the hard work it’s morning tea time!!Warm damper with freshly churned butter and jam.

Oh no....that’s right no dish washer! We had to wash and dry our own dishers. (I thought a tea towel was to get the nuggets out of the oven!!!)

Hop Scotch was a favourite game to play.

More fun withHoops and Stilts.
