Tawa’s October Holiday Programme went very well, with over 50 adults and children attending. They came to experience the Pastimes of Past Times. Special guests Rachel and Joe, from The Museum of City and Sea, brought exhibits from days gone by to show the children. There were games, toys, clothing, photographs, and even a taxidermied goose!

To relive a little of what children in past times did, the children firstly practised handwriting on slates, before each took a turn at churning butter! Some also tried making beads out of paper, playing games from yesteryear, and looking at 3D images in a viewfinder.

The holiday programme concluded with the children having a taste of the butter they had made, before posing for some photographs dressed as children from times gone by.
