Room 3 looked at the changing seasons and how this made life in the olden days hard.

At school we noticed and thought about:

It's getting colder because it is heading into winter.

Butterflies die in the winter.

It is frosty in the winter.

At Ferrymead we learnt:

100 years ago baths were different from us now.

Toilets had a hole and no flush.

Clothes went througha mangle to get the water out. Then they were pegged out to dry.

Tables were scrubbed down.

Irons wer heated on the stove because there was no electricity.
