Time Team

As part of our social science this year, we are delving into NZ history, with a particular focus on local history. So it was with great excitement, that we visited Silverdale Pioneer Village to find out what life was like in the past.

We found out how the local area has changed and how the kiwi way of life has also altered from the early days of the settlers.

We watched work in the old forge

It was hard work pumping water!

We had fun identifying herbs by their aromas


We learned how self-sufficient bushmen were.
