Don’t miss this opportunity to take your Stage 1 class on a virtual journey back to the past at Vaucluse House to learn about the daily lives of the Wentworth family and their many servants, and discover how household technologies have changed over time.

As part of this experience, students will meet Annabel Crabb and the Ferrone family, stars of the ABC’s hit show Further Back in Time for Dinner. Students will visit the 1820s kitchen and discover how food preparation technologies have changed, then step outside to the laundry to discuss washing day and learn about the time consuming task of washing clothes by hand, before returning to the house to explore the larder and discover food storing and cooling techniques.

Finally, students will learn how to play children’s games from the past, such as skipping, quoits and hoops, which they can play together at school after the session.  Students will hear from Carol Ferrone and 12 year old Olivia Ferrone, and have the opportunity to ask questions about their first hand experiences of going ‘further back in time’.

The session will be via Zoom and students will engage in polls and have the opportunity to ask questions via Q&A chat.

To continue experiencing the games we demonstrate after the live event, you will need:

  • Hoops
  • Quoits
  • Skipping ropes

Important:

 We will run this as a webinar via Zoom.

  • We recommend that you log in up to 5 mins early for the session. 
  • All meetings are password protected. 
  • You will receive the link prior to the session. Do not share this link with anyone else outside the class.

 Tips for your classroom: 

 

 The class can log in via one class computer so long as there is

  • a projector or smartboard that allows the students to see the deliverer- your classroom smartboard is perfect for this. 
  • speakers from either your smartboard or separate speakers (aux cable or bluetooth). Laptop speakers are inadequate for your whole classroom to hear the deliverer. 
  • If you have students learning from home they can use the link and log in from home. It can be a mixture of the two.
