Unpicking the past exhibition

We were invited to go and see Unpicking the Past. We learnt that people valued there clothes in the 1840's.   They would recycle their clothes and pass them down to younger brothers and sisters.
Their mothers and their grandmothers and big sisters made their clothes.  Material was very expensive and it took a long time to make the new clothes by hand.  Solmaz

Wow, you guys look so cool in your olden days outfits!

I teach Room 9 at Nelson Central and we also got to go to the Unpicking the Past exhibition at the Museum. We learnt so much!

Aren't you a smart bunch of kids (and teacher) for sharing all your learning with others on your blog!

I'm sure my class would love to see what you are up to!
