Lunch in the Past Day





2BP had a Lunch in the Past Day this week. Before the big day we spent some time looking at our lunch boxes and comparing them with what a lunch box in the past would have looked like. On the day we came to school dressed like we were from the 'olden days'. Our teachers for the day were Mrs Prim and Mrs Proper! At First Break we walked to a local park and spent the morning playing some old-fashioned games like Drop the Hanky and Follow the Leader. We had to pack a picnic lunch made from thick slices of bread with toppings like honey, jam, syrup or cheese and a piece of fruit. Lunches were packed in brown paper bags and not cling wrap. A highlight of the excursion was finding a baby possum who had fallen out of a tree. We rescued the little one and he is now being looked after by a local Vet.
