On Tuesday the 13th of September, our Grade 1 and 2 students travelled to Old Gippstown in Moe. In class they have been learning about their local community and the history of the buildings and landmarks. At Old Gippstown the students participated in four different activities including a welding demonstration by a Blacksmith, a tour of the General Store and the old products and technology inside, vintage games such as quoits, horseshoe toss and skittles, and an experience of a school lesson in the early 1900s. The students thoroughly enjoyed their emersion experience of life in the early 1900s and drew many comparisons between life then and the way they live their lives today.
