School - Past and Present

Watch this video

We had a look at various articles, books and videos...

then we had to think and talk about what school was like in the Olden Days.
Here are some of our ideas.
The Past
  • They learnt how to shoot guns
  • The boys wore suits and the girls wore dresses
  • They drank milk and got apples every day, hot milk
  • They practised writing on stone slates
  • There was no gateway
  • Most people left school by the time they were 14
  • Putikitiki did not have a playground, it was flat.
  • Reading the school journal
  • 40 people in one class
  • A rugby pole on Putikitiki was cut

The Present
  • New buildings
  • TV’s, computers, iPads, Chrome Books, laptops, projector, screens
  • We don’t have to wear a uniform
  • Pens and paper
  • We are safe
  • Clocks
  • More colourful
  • Youtube
  • Library
  • Air conditioning, heaters
  • Putikitiki has a playground


We used a Venn diagram to think about the 
Past and Present, and compare what is still the same.
