Link to a great story in The Herald September 17th.
The six- and seven-year-olds spent the day on Wednesday learning about Victorian medicines in both the lodge and its medicinal garden, where they participated in six different hands-on activities.
These included making an old-fashioned tooth-cleaner, earning a certificate in pill-rolling and concocting their own medicines from cuttlefish bones and chalk. The children also took part in chemical experiments and learned about safety and the dangers of medicine. Pictured are Hyde Park Primary school students Luke Curtis and Finley Fleming making medicines the Victorian way.
The workshop was designed to be enjoyable, yet informative for the youngsters, with the day's motto being 'Pharmacy Is Phun!'
