YEAR 1 EXCURSION TO VAUCLUSE HOUSE

Year One visited Vaucluse House and stepped back in time to learn what life was like in the past. The students explored the historic home and gardens, discovering how people lived, cooked, dressed, and played over 150 years ago. It was an exciting and educational day that helped bring history to life.
