Howick Historical Village

My Howick Historical Village Trip

On Tuesday the junior syndicate went to the Howick Historical Village because we are learning about change in the past and in the present.

First we all got into groups because we had to go to four different activities. My first activity was the inside toys and my favourite toy there was the gingerbread man race. The little gingerbread man is at the bottom of the string and there’s a little bit where you have to pull so the gingerbread man goes up. There are two of these gingerbread men and the first person to get their gingerbread man to the top of the string wins.

Next my group went to the outside toys. I liked the outside toys because most of the toys were made of wood and metal which made them hard but fun!

After that my group went to the old school. I liked the old school because the teacher would pick a student to come up the front of the class to count in twos and the student up the front would have to look out for people that weren’t counting in twos. If they weren’t they had to write on the slate board ‘I need to learn my times tables 100 times’ – that’s a lot of times!

Finally my group went to nursery rhymes. My favourite nursery rhyme was Jack Be Nimble because we had to jump over the candlestick and try not to get burnt.

I loved going to the Howick Historical Village. My favourite activity was the old school because it would be funny if you would actually have to write ‘I need to learn my times tables 100 times!’

My Howick Historical Village Trip

On Tuesday the juniors went to the Howick Historical Village and we did lots of fun things. We went there to learn about old things.

First we did the nursery rhymes and we did Jack Be Nimble Jack Be Quick and we had to jump over the candle stick. We did other nursery rhymes too.

Next we did the inside toys. I liked the inside toys because they are fun to play with and they are fun to try to figure out how to play with them.

Finally we did the old school. We had to do what the teacher told us to do otherwise you will get wacked with the stick and it was so so so so funny!

I loved the old school because the teacher did teaching with the children and teaching with the maps and she did weird things!

My Howick Historical Village Trip

On Tuesday Room 14 went to the Howick Historical Village to learn about things in the past.

First we went to the nursery rhymes and we sang the song called Jack Be Nimble. We jumped over the candlestick but we couldn’t touch the candle stick so we didn’t get burnt.

Next we went to play with the toys and we had to try and work out how the toys work and try to guess what they were made of. They were made of metal and wood and paint and string.

Finally we went to the outside toys. I rode a wooden horsey and it felt like I was on an alive horse. I could run in circles very fast.

I loved the trip because we could choose the outdoor toys to play and they were lots of fun!

On Tuesday Room 14 went on a trip to a village because that was a good idea and we thought we should publish our writing.

First we did nursery rhymes and we a look in the old house. We sang Jack jump over the candlestick and we jumped over the candle stick. We didn’t want to get burnt so we weren’t on fire.

Next we played with the indoor toys and I played with the marbles.

Finally we went into an old school and the teacher nearly wacked me with the stick on my head because I was nearly going to sleep.

My best part of the trip was the marbles because it was so cool when we had a race.

My Howick Historical Village Trip

Last week Room 14 went to the Howick Historical Village because we are learning about change.

First I did nursery rhymes. I sang Jack be nimble and we had to not put out the candle. I also learnt some other nursery rhymes from the past. They didn’t have TVs in the past so they sang nursery rhymes instead!

Next I went to the indoor toys and when the teacher told us to change we had to give the toy to the child beside us. The indoor toys were interesting because they were made of wood and rope and glass and metal.

Finally I went into the very very old school and I learnt that they didn’t use pencils to write. They used rock and it was noisy!

I loved going on that trip because it was interesting and exciting. I felt like I had travelled back in time!

You might like to make some at home over the holidays.

Korean Elastics Game

Room 14 were very privileged to be shown a Korean elastics game by our Korean International Students.

Afterwards the Korean students had some fun trying to teach Room 14 their elastics game!

Check out these youtube clips:









                            

You can buy these elastics at the Warehouse or at most toy departments. It's a great game to teach your child at home as it helps develop their balance, co-ordination, left-right brain crossover and memory.
