(What can you see on the footpath? What do you think he might be doing?)

(What can you see coming along the road on the other side of the hill?)

What historical object would you need for a tram?

Great Ashgrove Memorabilia Mixup

"Oh No! Strawberry the house cow got into the vegie garden again."

 "And, when Mum and the kids ran out to chase it back into the paddock, the dog ran inside and knocked all of the Ashgrove history photos and memorabilia onto the floor."

 "They're in a terrible mess. Better work out which photos go with objects before Mum gets back."

"Can you help me please?"

"Here's the photos. Can you work out which history memorabilia objects go with which photo?"

Why is Miss Fahey important in Ashgrove's history?

I wonder if you can guess why we think Miss Fahey is one of Ashgrove's living treasures? 

You might have to look carefully. 

Sometimes it is the small things that make history interesting and give us clues about how people lived in different times.

Which of the four photos do you think Miss Fahey is part of?
