Last week Year 3 students from St John\u2019s Lutheran School, Kingaroy, got to experience life in the colonial days.<\/p>\n

The students travelled to Toowoomba\u2019s Cobb & Co Museum for the day to explore the galleries and interactive activities to develop a firsthand understanding of what life was like 100 years ago.<\/p>\n

The history topic forms part of the Year 3 Australian curriculum.<\/p>\n

The museum has a designated student program which gives pupils the opportunity to learn about life in early Australia by listening to guest speakers and watching demonstrations, such as wheel making.<\/p>\n

The Year 3 classes have been exploring in class how early settlers communicated with each other and the modes of transport used.<\/p>\n

On the excursion, they also learned how jobs have changed due to changes that have come with time and technology.<\/p>\n

In early colonial days, for example, some jobs included horse groomers and blacksmiths as horses were extensively used for travel.<\/p>\n

The children learned how some of our English language today is derived from early speech eg. the word “car” is now used instead of “carriage”.<\/p>\n

One story the children found amusing came from the days when people travelled in a coach. If the passengers wanted to stop they would pull on a rope tied to the driver\u2019s foot. Sometimes they would do it as a “joke”. Hence the saying: “He\u2019s pulling our leg!”<\/p>\n

“Students got so much more from hearing the museum\u2019s characters tell their story of what life was like early this century,” Year 3 class teacher Mrs Walden explained.<\/p>\n

“The museum has focused on letting children interact with the displays and this is more meaningful for them rather than reading simply from a book or seeing pictures on a screen.<\/p>\n

“The museum also has displays explaining how we have become a multicultural community and how electricity has changed our lifestyles since these early days.\u201d<\/p>\n

The day trip allowed the students to begin to understand the terminology of “primary” and “secondary” sources of information.<\/p>\n

They now have a fuller understanding of how objects and stories from the past can help us know more about our life now and the things that have changed from the past.<\/p>\n

Students, teachers and parents all agreed that the visit to the Cobb & Co museum was a worthwhile learning experience that enhanced the work they have been doing in class.<\/p>\n

The students have been completing follow-up discussions and activities in class.<\/p>\n
