The Cocky’s Joy was flowing, the bush dancing was swinging and the smell of damper was in the air last week when Emu Heights Year 3 and 4 concluded a study of early Australian settlement with a Colonial Day.
The children and tea
chers dressed in Colonial wear participated in a range of typical children’s experience from the 1800s from playground games to cooking.
A highlight of the day was a visit to the Australian Arms Inn Museum where children experienced the practical
ways of life, 150 years ago. No Foxtel, no iPod,…. what about a game of horseshoes?
The Arms of Australia Inn is located at the Cnr Gardenia Ave & Great Western Highway. For more information, call 4735 4394 or visit www.nepeanhistoricalsociety.org.au.
