2B Goes Back in Time

During Semester 1, students have been investigating continuity and change in technology used in their homes. They have learnt about what changes in technology have occurred over time, and how these changes have impacted on people’s lives over the generations. As part of this unit, the year 2 cohort attended an excursion to the local Calliope Historical Village. We travelled by bus, visiting and learning about the history of Barmundoo, Rosevale Homestead, Larson’s Cottage, The Wool Shed, Wrights Cottage, Machine Creek School and the old Mt Larcom Jail.  Students will now use information gathered to develop a narrative about the past. 

Students off to visit the Machine Creek School. They used a slate board and learnt some of the school rules and expectations.  The students all agreed they are thankful for the changes to technology over the generations.
