What I learnt at Ferry-mead

I Learnt:

  • Ladies first.
  • Take care of your shoes because they were made of fabric.
  • Children are seen not heard.
  • To greet each other the men will take of their hats and say good. day ma'am and the woman would smile and nod their head.
  • Candles were made of animal fat.
  • Woman would wear a coloured dress with an apron over top, they would also wear a bonnet.
  • Men would wear a grey or blue top and pants, they would also wear a cap of the same colour.
  • Woman would do most chores.
  • They would have to make their toys.
  • When going on the boat to new zealand they would have to pack a bag they would need on the trip and one that they would not need until they reach new zealand.
  • To heat up an iron they would put it over a fire.
  • How to do the chores at the V hut like planting, putting flax on the roof, cutting wood, ironing, washing cloths and scrubbing the deck.
