What a day!
Today Arrowtown School celebrated it's 150th birthday. All the children and teacher dressed up in period costumes and really looked the part. Everybody walked to school and some even rode horses! Our classes ran just like a class would have 150 years ago. We worked on our arithmatic, we did drills, folk dancing and plenty of penmanship practice.
At lunch time we had an area where the ladies (girls) played and an area for the gentleman (boys). We played kick the can, hop scotch, skipping and the minors band played songs for us to dance to. It was a very different day compared to how school is now we are looking forward to seeing how we all felt about it tomorrow.
Here are some photos from the day.
