Dear
Parents/Caregivers of Room 5
To
conclude our REMEMBRANCE study this term ‘Learning from our past to shape our Future" we shall
be visiting the Canterbury Museum on Tuesday 30 June. Fortunately transport has been funded by the ‘Kids2Town’ Programme set up by the Christchurch City Council and the Canterbury Community Trust, amid concerns some young people have not stepped foot in the area since the earthquakes. However each student is requested to contribute $2 to cover the cost for the educational programme. Students may hand the money to me by the end of this week.
The outline of the day is:
9:30am- Bus to Museum.

Early Canterbury – European Settlement/ Clothing and Textiles
In this lesson students will step back in time to learn about the Canterbury Association settlers.
Using the Studding Sail Hall and the Christchurch Street students will observe, discuss and think critically about the settlers and the settlement of Canterbury.
students will examine the lengths people have gone to in the name of fashion
from the mid-1800s to today. Students will also have the opportunity to handle some of the Museum’s extensive collection of replica clothing.
Why did the Egyptians mummify their dead? Using the research
Canterbury Museum has undertaken on the mummy Tash pen
Khonsu, students will uncover some of the mysteries surrounding
Egyptian mummification, including hieroglyphics, shabti (funerary
figurines) and mummification of animals.
