On the 22nd of May we went to the Toitu Museum and pretended that we were Scottish settlers.
We made different families with different clothes, hats, and different and weird names. Then we went to a boat and tried to think what it was like travelling from Scotland all the way to New Zealand.
It was so hard to live in a boat people spewing, drunk, tired and wishing to be home and that they never should of came over to New Zealand.
We had to clean all the spuke off the floor which was hard.
We had to freeze and make a pose and say what we were feeling.
Our family was the Mcdonald's Ma, Da, Alice, Douglas, Keith and Dougal and we were Scottish dancers.
We meet other people on our journey to New Zealand and they weren't happy either.
We went back upstairs and get out of the clothes but some of us did not want to.
Was great to read your story in the newsletter also Shaun, sounds like the Toitu Museum was a memorable experience for you all.
ReplyDeleteSounds like it was hard times for the pioneers, I am surprised you weren't all racing to get out of the roles! Photos look great
