The dial phone
When Miss Rankin was our age this is the type of phone she had at home. You have to push the ring around to dial each number. The children were so surprised that it plugged into the wall and you couldn't walk around with it. Shaylah was shocked that you couldn't take your phone in the car! Every morning before school there is a line of children waiting to have a turn dialling their own numbers. Thanks to Mrs Raine for bringing it in for us to have a go on.
Saving computer work.
Malachi has the kind of floppy disk that Miss Rankin used at High School. Shaylah has the kind of disk that Miss Rankin used at University and Tiaho has the USB stick that Miss Rankin uses now! Thanks to Maria in the library for supplying the floppy disks for us to look at.
Testing out the irons from 'Long Ago.' It was hard work!!
Mrs Bolland kindly gave us these old irons to look at. They are VERY heavy. We have learnt that they were heated up on the stove and didn't plug into the wall.
