Our special visitor Marion

As  you know, our Inquiry topic this term is Grandparents. We were very lucky to have a grandparent come and visit us at school and share what her life was like as a young girl.

Marion Antonavich, Olivia's Grandma, told us all about how the photographs were all black and white, there were no television sets in some homes, when she was a girl in school and had milk just like us today, it was delivered in a a glass bottle, left out in the sun to get warm and they didn't really like it, on the cake stands, you had to eat one level at a time. You had to start at the bottom with the sandwiches, then make your way up to the scones and lastly, finish with the cake at the top. We also learnt that the coats ladies wore were made out of animal fur and every holiday there was a party for all the kids in the village. She also told us lots of other interesting facts and stories too.

Thank you so much Marion, it was a pleasure to meet you and to listen to your stories, aroha nui from Room 3.
