Over the last few weeks we have been incredibly busy in the Dahls. We participated in the Fraser Swimming Carnival, we have been learning about Cyber Safety and visited Healthy Harold in the Life Education Van. We have also been investigating the early explorers, life in 18th century England, the First Fleet and what life was like in Australia for the indigenous people before and after the colonists arrived.
What is something new that you have learnt about life in 18th century England, the early explorers or the First Fleet?
I learnt that the convicts got punished in public places. I didn't know that children as young as 4 had to go to work. I also learnt that the English had floating prisons called Hulks which are old ships that they haven't used for years. I learnt that England sent over 40,000 people for transportation to lots of different countries.
