On Tuesday we all were so excited to visit the stone cottage, which is across the road from our school and our time to go was 10:00. We walked across the road and went around the stone house because Room 2 were still busy inside.
In the first room that we went into the cottage was the parlour with all of the artefacts and the next room that we went to was the bedroom that Phoebe Dunn had slept in. In the old days they had this hot water box made out of pottery to keep their feet warm at night. It was filled with hot water.
Then we all went into the kitchen and Terry showed us bellows that were used to keep the fire burning and after that we all went upstairs to the two other bedrooms and in the first room upstairs it was the room that the boys slept in in the old days.
The next room that we went into was the room that Phoebe Dunn’s children slept in. I thought it was interesting that the stone cottage used to be in Mt Wellington where McDonalds is now.
This was one of the best times that I’ve had at school this year because it was so fun to learn about how they lived in the old days and at the end we all took a photo in front of the cottage.
