On Friday the 17th of March, Year 1 and 2 participated in an incursion when educators from the National Museum of Australia visited our school. Both grades have been learning about the past as part of our history units. We spent an hour exploring a variety of artefacts from the past; learning what they were called, their purpose and the materials they were made from. Lots of these objects have newer versions so it was interesting to see how technology has changed. One of the most interesting artefacts was the very first refrigerator, Brendan showed us that it was just a metal box with material that would be wet and wrapped around the box to keep everything cool. The incursion was a great hands-on learning experience!
