Through engaging hands-on activities and lively discussions, students explored the stark contrasts between their modern education and the schooling of the Sargood children. They discovered how lessons were taught without technology, how discipline was enforced, and even how handwriting was carefully practised using ink and quills.
This immersive experience provided a unique glimpse into the past, allowing students to appreciate how far education has come while gaining a deeper understanding of history. It was a memorable and enjoyable learning adventure for all! And, of course, many students were quite relieved they didn’t have to write on chalkboards every day!
