The Way We Were













Our excursion to Colonial Living History at the Tingalpa Pioneer Chapel and Cemetery on Friday was fantastic. At the gate we had to step back in time to 1836. We met three people who had only recently settled in Brisbane and we helped with the daily chores of making damper, erecting a tent and washing and drying clothes. We all enjoyed the damper we had made for morning tea and we learnt a lot about the early settlers in Queensland. The Chapel, built in 1836, was where we started and finished our journey back in time.
This weeks mystery item is not from our class display table but from our excursion. Do you know what the name of this object is and what it was used for? Leave a comment with your answer. Good luck!
