Go back to the past at Vaucluse House with Annabel Crabb and Carol Ferrone
This virtual excursion will take your Stage 1 class on a 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. Along the way you 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’.
