We are on a new adventure. Scary schools and horrid homework, not to mention some of the meanest teachers in history. Beware!

Trip to Pataka
Here are some photos of our class trip to Pataka. We got to do lots of cool stuff including dressing up in clothes from 100 years ago. Please leave a comment about somehing you learnt from our trip.
Only boys could play marbles and girls could only play the cup and ball game. The students had to bring firewood otherwise they would sit furthest away from the fireplace brrrr!
Girls and boys could not giggle. Every morning they had an inspection and when bell rang they had to line up in girl boy lines, smallest at the front and tallest at the back.

I learnt that girls couldn't play games that boys played. That is so unfair!
Writing with ink pens were hard because you had to keep on dipping it in the ink.

There was a fence in the middle of the playground what seperated the boys and the girls.
There were also special monitors just in case something went wrong in the playground.
Boys could finaly wear long pants when they were a certain age.

Teana said: I liked Pataka because I got to dress up and I like that! It would be hard if you were left handed to write with your right hand.
I now know how it feels dressed up in 1910 clothes .... the braces were a new experience for me!
