This morning Di Logan and I hosted 70 Year 3 & 4 children plus teachers and parents from Waihi East Primary School at the Homestead. This was part of the Homestead's education programme, helping children to compare their lives today with those of Hugh and Adela Stewart in the late 1800s. Full on programme, lots of fun well worthwhile.
