I think that Colonial Day was a great day. I liked the part when the teacher was so funny but also very strict. The outfits were ”AWESOME” and it was probably my second favourite thing besides camp – I loved it!!! Thanks Mr Dalby , Mrs A and Miss Stehn for the wonderful time that I had.

The photo looks very old. They look like they are all wearing old fashion day clothing, and they are all dresses up in their fancy clothing. Some are carrying children and brief cases. The ship they are coming off looks quite old as well.

The first picture depicted people of the olden day times wearing clothing that was popular then. The second picture was someone from Australia reaching out to someone in another country.

the people were carrying suit cases and were probably glad to get off the ship because they had been on it for weeks and weeks!

It wpuld definately not be a very soft ride if you wanted to get places because you did not have any electricity to keep you warm and you don’t have really cosy jumpers. People did have very formal suits on, especially the men. Also the tests would of been a real big challenge to get a high mark on. Those who did not get a high mark probably got the strap.

The photos do look really old, the bakground of the ship looks very big and the dresses the people are wearing are very long. I think that they had to complete forms say why they neede to migrate to Australia. I problbly woudn’t pas the test because it would of been really hard.

I noticed that the boat is a steam boat because of the big smoke stacks on top of the boat. Also the people were well dressed in suits and carrying large suit cases which look different to our suit cases today.
AWSOME VIDEO!!!!

The photo of the people from Russia were wearing warm clothes from Russia.
One of the photos had 2 men in it and they had skirts on, maybe they were from Scotland.
