Bridle Path and Ferrymead Trip
On Friday the Year 7 and 8s went to Ferrymead and walked the Bridle Path. First we got split up into two groups. One group walked the Bridle Path in the morning and the other group walked it in the afternoon. My group walked the Bridle Path in the morning and it wasn't as bad as I remembered. When we walked the Bridle Path we got split up into groups of four or five.
When you get to the top all the groups had to walk to the Gondola and thankfully we got to ride the Gondola down. My group also got to go in the Time Tunnel and it was really cool. As soon as we got down we all got to eat and have a rest, then we were on our way to Ferrymead.
In Ferrymead we did activities of what it was like in the 1950s like: we went into a bakery and baked scones. We got taught in a school that would have been in the 1950s, and lastly we got to play with toys that children played with in 1950s.
It's so different between the 1950s and now because we have so much more stuff than what they had, like we have lots of electronics now but back then it was rare to see a T.V in people's houses.
Back then living was really different the lifestyle of parents was harder. The women would stay home and not work so that they can bake and cook. So then the men would work and bring home the money.
When the early settlers climbed the Bridle Path it was so much harder because they were carrying all their belongings and the women were probably wearing long dresses that went to their ankles.
The other group did different things like for the school they got to use special ink pens and instead of making scones they made cookies.
My highlights of the trip were: dressing up in 1900s clothes because the clothes was so different from now.
It changed my perspective of what it was like in the 1900s because it is much harder and to live in that era as an adult to make the food from scratch. Not having the best tools for everything and not having fridges to keep food in.
What do you think it was like in the 1900s?
