LC 4 Ferrymead Trip recount
On the Ferrymead trip first we went and put on our old
fashion clothes. Next we went to the lunch area and the boys sat on one side
and the girls sat on the other. Then we walked to the general store where we
had a competition. We had to pick stuff like buttons, lollies, rice and sugar
cubes. The winners got a job in the store from 6am until 6pm 6 days a week like
in the olden days. The next activity was the tram. It was a double sided one.
The boys went on one half and the girls on the other side. Last we made cookies
at the bakery, and then the next day at school we ate the cookies for lunch.

Last Tuesday I went to Ferrymead with LC8, LC3 and LC4.
First we got our costume on and we wore knickerbockers and caps with shirts on.
Our first activity was the bakery, where we made cookies and we learned that
little boys used to crawl into the oven to clean it! The next activity was the
general store where we had to get groceries from the list that the shop keeper
gave to us. The third activity was the school where Mr Green was the strict
teacher. He had a strap and a cane, but luckily we don’t have them these days.
The last one was washing and house work with Mrs Grey where we used a hot iron
and a wash board to wash and iron clothes. We were so tired at the end we
nearly fell asleep on the bus home.
