My+Howick+Historical+Recount

On Tuesday the 22nd Of March room 17, 19 & 20 went on a school trip to Howick Historical village to compare the victorian era to what it’s like today for our generation.

After I got off the bus at 9:50 the reign of the gasoline was over when I smelt the sweet, sweet lavendar , it made me sneeze like a kitten, And then when we walked around the corner of the a cottage on the pebble path we saw women in puffy dresses. After that we were instructed to sit on the dry prickly grass to wait for more instructions. Then we went on the tour to view the mesmerizing village of the Historical Howick. I went on the tour with our teacher Mr Pareanga we first saw one of the victorian homes, it felt cold and damp and the house was very thin. We also went to the shop, but I think it would have been better if we were allowed to touch some shop materials. After we visited the rest of the houses we arrived at the pond since Euri and I were dressed for the occasion so we got to act like the children in the victorian era. Then Mrs White rang the bell, it sounded like a Victorian school bell.

Then we went to the school house to see and feel what it was like for victorian children. Then Mrs White acted like a victorian school teacher. We had to do a hand inspection, Mrs White said Mr Pareanga had potatos growing behind his ears. We also learnt about Queen Victoria The 1st and we did math as well. But teachers back then cared more about how clean you were, and I would not like to be interegated every day. The next thing we did was going to the court house and I was the accused's son, But I don't look like Theo at all !Theo was accused of not paying the shop owner the money that was owed for the items he bought , but he actually didn't buy it , his wife did ! After the court house we played the games they were all made out of metal and wood but the games were still fun. But I still can't believe how they could enjoy the same game every day because I would not be happy without my I-pad ! After the games it was lunch time, I was so exited I couldn't wait until after lunch to do the archeological dig ! Now we were at Pakeranga school to do the dig, the School was huge ! When we were digging I found a chest with a key in it and another awesome item I found was a bell like thing, I didn't know how to use it but it was cool , but the goal was to make a plate with a detailed picture on it. Now the worst part of the day was leaving to go back to school, But the day was awsome and I'd love to go again ! But it could have been better if people wore some Victorian school cloves !
