Howick Historical Village Trip

Hey!
It's me Franny!
So here's what happened when we went to...
Howick Historical Village!
We did three activities the first was old fashioned games. The second was a communication workshop and finally we went to school.
When they said that the first activity we would do was sports I got really disappointed. I do not like sports!!): But when we got there it was fun things like skipping, stilts and hoop and skimmer- Which was very hard.(: Pheeeeew
The communications workshop was fun and we did things like decoding Braille, semaphore and Morse code. Before anything some one told us that girls were supposed to communicate beauty and boys were supposed to communicate strength (They were supposed to carry a pig a day for their wives) eeew.
The last was my favourite: The schoolhouse. You may be thinking "What? You have to go to school on a school trip?" But no the schoolhouse was where we learnt about old fashioned schools. We had slates and crayons. Back then the older kids teach the youngest. Two children got the fake cane. One for stealing an apple and one for tearing his pants.

Then there was a walk around!
The schoolhouse was my favourite!
What would be yours?
