Artefacts from the 1700’s

We have been very fortunate to have on loan from the Bennie Museum in Bathgate, so items that they have from the 1700’s.

We had a carousel set up in the class, to work our way round exploring what we thought the items were made of, used for, who would have used them and we thought of what has replaced them nowadays.

Ethan got stuck into some ironing!

 

What could this be used for?

 

Sean wonders if a quoit is a fancy toilet seat!
Paul has a nice drink from the tin cup whilst Billy thinks about making dinner in the cooking pot.
