Introduction

• In this PowerPoint presentation I will be talking
  to you about early settlers-how they lived, what
  they ate, what they wore and how they were
  educated.
• The early settlers life was not as hard as the
  convicts in the first fleet but then again not as
  easy as our life in the 21st century.

Clothing

• The young boys wore the same clothes as the girls
  which were frocks! When the boys were around the
  age of five, they were given their first shirt
  and long trousers. When the boys went swimming
  they stripped off their clothes and went in
  naked. At night -time they wore a night shirt. If
  the boys family was rich they would have boots
  and woollen socks.
• Girls wore clothes that were basically the same
  as their mothers. Girls later wore a junior
  corset. When they were older their corsets were
  laced up tighter to give their body a fashionable
  figure. When they went to school sometimes the
  teacher strapped them to a board to make the
  girls have a straight back. When they went to
  parties they wore white dresses.
• Babies wore binders to make their body straight.

Food

• The provision store provided their food and
  each week they got a certain amount of food.
• Some of the food included pigeon and wild duck
  and a type of bread called damper made from the
  flour they got.
• Some of the people thought they could farm but
  actually could not.
• They didnt know how to get the soil just right
  for planting.
• When they cooked they cooked on a cauldron . The
  early settlers actually put a lump of cow poo to
  stop the mosquitoes getting to their food. They
  cooked things like mutton, damper and tea.

Education

• The children who went to school were the children
  of convicts or poor free settlers. Education was
  a tool to help them have a better life than their
  parents. Most children went to school for two or
  three years.
• Children who did not go to school usually ended
  up with a gang that hung around the water front
  with their future not looking very good.
• The smelly outside toilets were just holes in the
  ground . They were not very private.
• The schools were run by husband s and wives, the
  husband s teaching the boys and the wives
  teaching the girls. Boys learnt things like
  English, Maths (Arithmetic) History and
  Geography. Girls learnt things like sewing,
  cooking and music.
• Some games they played at lunchtime were marbles,
  cricket and pretending to flog a convict.
• They didn't have much equipment like books,
  sewing needles, paper or pens. Slates were used
  instead of paper. They were re-usable. They used
  feather pens dipped in ink called a quill. They
  had to read the bible.

Where they lived

• Some homes were built with just little stick pegs
  and old material. Others were built out of old
  hollow trees and when it rained ,all of the water
  would rush through the holes. The people in the
  house would get wet. Then the soil floors would
  become muddy.
• The first houses that had rooves were made of
  grass. The walls were made of sticks.
• The next houses had slabs of timber for the walls
  and the rooves were made of shingles split from
  oak trees. Sometimes the rooves were made of
  bark. Fences had to be built to keep animals in.
