When we got to Ferrymead we went into their clothes. I wore knickerbockers, olden day shirt and a cap. It felt warm because when I got out of it it felt really cold.

I first went to the v-shaped huts. I did ironing using heat from the fire. I polished the silverware and  I sawed the wood for the fire. I scrubbed the porch clean.  We washed clothes on a scrubbing board. 

Next, we went to the crafts. At the crafts, I dipped string into the wax to make candles and I also made the illusion what looked a bird in a cage but it they were separate.

At the immigration room we had to pick a items the items tell us a job I was a Bank person. so that means that I'm rich.
