Our HASS excursion to Laidley Historical Village gave us a fascinating look at life in the past. We travelled by bus and were excellent listeners throughout the day. We saw old machinery and watched a blacksmith demonstrate traditional metalwork, helping us understand how people worked long ago. One of the most interesting parts was comparing classrooms from the past with our own – from chalkboards and wooden desks to the technology we use today. This experience helped us appreciate how much life has changed and how far we've come in education, work, and daily life.
