At the Ethnographic Museum

Students from grade 1s went on a trip to the Ethnographic Museum to take part in workshops “In the old school” and learn about the customs common in schools 100 years ago. They had the opportunity to sit in old, wooden benches with inkstands, use chalk plates instead of notebooks, get to know the duties of classroom helpers (e.g. carrying a bucket with water to wash hands), and even try the old-type punishment for inappropriate behaviour – kneeling on bags filled with peas. At the end of the workshops the students made and decorated their notebooks, which they took home as a souvenir from their first school trip.
