Last week Year 2 experienced the traditional Newstead House excursion a little differently with staff visiting the school for an incursion.

They explored games that Brisbane families in the mid-1800s would have played, and got a taste of Victorian-era clothes washing (and an appreciation for their parents and modern technology no doubt) by learning how to use washboards, homemade soap and dolly sticks. They even added a little dolly dance to the process to add some fun!
