Life in the past …. stinks! (Stage 1)
Mar
In the past, some of the daily chores and work people had to had to do were a bit smelly, some were really hard work, and others…well they really, really stink!
ACTIVITY OUTLINE:
We know life in the past was very different to today.
But how we know what we know is just as important as what we know. Using evidence from documents, images and oral history can help us better understand what life was like, in the past, for different people.
While we can’t go back in time, we can still visit some of the places where people once lived and worked.
Come along and see what life was like for:
a servant working at Vaucluse House mansion in the 1860s
a farm hand working at Rouse Hill Estate in the 1870s
a mum living at Susannah Place, in Sydney’s Rocks area, in the 1920s
But who had the worst job? And what different technologies or resources did people use in the past, to do jobs that are still done today?
