Leadership Day !!

This term the year 6s  had  their first leadership day with the kew campus and a Donvale campus we worked  together in lots of different groups as leaders and faced some  challenges. 

Working in a team can be hard for some people or it could be really easy I don’t find it so hard , because I like sharing my ideas and using someone else’s ideas , even if none of them work we can get to know each other more. There might be a time were we feel like giving up but we keep trying for  Success and did got it and ended up really doing a good job.

however  working without a partner or working by yourself can be different. Because you have do things by yourself and find ways to make things work and you don’t have other people helping you and giving you ideas so when you came to a  Challenge  it is much harder.

i really enjoyed meeting all the donvale kids from year  6 and i can’t wait for the next leader ship days.

Red pandas 🐼 ❤️

                      …….. Red pandas ……

Have you ever heard of an  Ailurs fulgen ? With its distinct red and white fur this adorable but shy creature can be found hiding in trees in the mountains of China.  Red pandas are  mammals  and are closely related to both the panda and raccoon families . Red pandas eat bamboo, bugs ,eggs ,birds ,roots and acorns. 

Red pandas grow to the size of a house cat, have long bushy tails that are stripy the average size there tails grow to is (18 inches). I also have very thick coats that they grow in the winter to keep warm and for energy. They have very large ears strong sharp claws and large wrist Bone that acts like a thumb to help them clime. Red pandas also climb down trees headfirst so they can see if predators are down below them or if they’re nearby. 

Female red pandas give birth in spring and summer ,young red panders remain in the nest for 90 days and their mother looks after them. Some red pandas can’t survive without there mother before half of the 90 days because them need there mother to supply food and to teach the young pandas how to survive in the wild.  What did you learn about  red pandas?

Greek Easter 🐣 ✨

In my family we celebrated two Easter greek easter and normal easter. I will tell you a little bit about greek easter. So 40 days before eater some people like to fast which means you don’t eat meat milk, cheese, eggs and sometimes chocolate. But on Friday you can eat fish still.and there is also church that night and then on Saturday night there is also late night church where you have to bring a candle and light it at church and then bring in home all wile its still lit up and then when you get home my grandpa will do the cross above the walk way of the house. And then you have a big feast at 12:00were you ate allowed to eat what ever is there.

On the day of Easter there are real eggs that have been died red as blood or blue as well sometimes too.Since its Easter you are allowed to eat meat and as much of the other foods to.

We usually have a lame on the spit for lunch on easter in my family and I’m sure others do as well. When you get your chocolates to you might get a candle for next year to use at the church. Also with the red eggs you get a partner and with another egg and smash eggs with them if you win win do it with  The person and keep going until you’re the last person standing if you are and some people.  You’re also some biscuits that look like plans  Except there made on biscuits no hair.

What have you learnt that you didn’t know of before about greek Easter ?? 

Toonallook camp ✨😂

Guess what ??? Toonallook camp finally hit. I can’t explain how good it was, in  fact, it was amazing. l have never enjoyed a camp as good as Toonallook before. 

At Toona I was put is a tent with some people l don’t usually talk to. But I’m very grateful that I was put the with these people. I enjoyed it so much and I  am so glad l got to know a lot of new people. It was pretty funny how many conversations we had in the middle of the night, well actually at

2:00 am. Alright let me  just say that there was an animal that got into our bin because we forgot to close it – and we also heard growing which scared the hell out of us. I personally thought it was a snake but I’m pretty sure it was a bird. I was also freezing at night so don’t forget to put thermals on because you will be freezing just like l was.

It’s now the 2nd day. On day 2 we went in the morning to see the water police. It was  so cool and really interesting. I think l may want to be one –  well not really,  it is  a big job and it’s scary too. So, maybe not  the water police,  it was really amazing though.

Sooner than latter it was time to bike ride. It was great. We got to ride on the beach it was actually very easy, well probably because l ride a lot and it was so much fun too.

Then we got to kayaking which one of my favourite things to do.  I don’t do it much but I’ve done it before . When we where kayaking I saw my old friend Emma who is in my class last year l said hi and then we had to leave.

it’s expo time!  I was in for it all. Hazel and l nearly got lost in the middle of the night. I had no water in my drink bottle and l need my water at night. When l was at the toilets, l scared myself with my torch because thought l saw a wallaby. Thankfully l didn’t but they were only the hard parts- the best parts were putting up our tent, which Hazel and Jaime loved doing.

It was the best having burgers for dinner and even playing Empires which me and Dylan won !!!! That was the best win because we had no one through out the whole game which meant we didn’t have any other teammates just me and my partner Dylan,  then we got the last character right so the biggest team had to come with us which was over half the class (actually almost the entire class) and then we won.   

There a lots of PLAs that were used at camp.

Resilience is one of them. I used this when I had to kayak in the lake. It was very tricky because there were a few waves pushing us to the shore which wasn’t helpful when its your second time kayaking. Me and my partner had to paddle our way through the waves. 

I also used Knowledge when l was biking around camp there was a lot of sand and it can be quite hard riding through sand. I used my knowledge by finding a hard spot in the ground where there’s either clay or hard mud and also using the right gears.  We had an amazing Opportunity to ride along the beach. I went 1st- l didn’t know if l was going to fall or slip but l didn’t do any of those ! l went straight through the sand and l was riding along the wet sand so it wasn’t hard at all because wet sand becomes hard like clay so it was quite easy. l am l so glad l tried it because l know for sure, l won’t get to do it again 

What is something that you have only done once because at camp or somewhere else? 

My avatar

my avatar looks like  me because it has the same coloured hair and I have straight hair it might be a little bit too long but it still looks like my hair. I am wearing a purple top because it is the colour of my soccer teams tops and also the same colour of my gymnastics
leotards. I choose big eyes because l get told a lot that l have big eye my sister calls them bug eyes but l don’t care what she calls them l love my bug eyes. What colour  hair do you have ?

 

 

✨Sovereign hill reflection ✨

Sovereign hill reflection

This term in integrated we have been researching the gold rush In Ballarat 1850s here is some information from our Unit. 

At school in sovereign hill the girls had to weir dresses with pantalets and when it is cold they wear a coat over there solders foe the boys they have long pants and a shirt with a hat they have to have on when ever there outside but when there inside they don’t ware it. Also in the school the girls go first into a building and walk before the boys. We also in school have to be in a line from smallest to biggest. In the school there was also a lot of negativity to the children the teachers would make the children feel bad about themselves. Outside of school it was much harder there wasn’t much food and the event of where they are staying and for being on the gold Fields. There was always lots of bad things that happened in the town like of murders and robberies. The government was  a very big problem as well ,they  would fine some for no exact reason no  matter what if they had or didn’t have a license. The gold rush started in 1851 because thats when the 1st peace of gold was found so of course everyone heard there was gold so they came the Ballarat where the gold is.

I learnt so much at sovereign hill l don’t know that you had to get married at 16 or be engaged  like that’s against the law now l thinks but can you believe it like l couldn’t believe it and also that 30 shillings could by so much 60 peaces of bread and a couple of tents some of these things were fascinating I couldn’t believe what l was hearing. When we went to sound and light show l also learnt and got a better idea of  what really happened on 3ed of December 1854. In fact l think everyone did . My favourite part of the light show was when the fake fire came tup and everyone was like wow!!!!! Also if you went to a rich school you couldn’t look at the ragged people and there was also no such thing as marriage to a miner or the ragged children because xAc your where never  look at  the ragged  if your an higher and posher.

Some of the businesses you might  see where the grossers where there was food and things for cooking including Utensils for the cooking. They would have been kind of expensive except for bread and simple foods. There is also the Confectionery store back then you had to be quite wealthy to get the lollies from the confectionary store. Now days it’s average prices for lollies 

There is the gold back that l made my diorama on and the schools there where four of the in sovereign hill but there was also a building with a sing that said Education senter. There are so many here is a  little list of buildings and businesses . Ballarat times, tent makers , new your. Bakery, hope bakery, Clare brothers , United hotel, Eureka hotel when it wasn’t burned, stables , candle shop , Aporhacareys, Talyors shop , clock makers, farms , blacksmiths , butcher  St-  Peters Denominational School, St Alipsus , red hill National School , weslen School and lots of other ones. 

There were also lots of diseases that are similar and same as the one that we have know thats they had back in the 1850s. There was one thats was sort of like the flu but much worse thats people got on the boats to Melbourne or Perth because people  booked from Perth to Melbourne and then went to Ballarat. There was one thats was like gastro But it was called a different name. There where lots of other decease. Most of the people died because of a small cold because there was not a good doctor or medical help. And the Apothecaries didn’t have much to help to and it also would have been very expensive so only the wealthy people would probably get to use it or maybe a teacher for payment might have gotten a voucher at the Apothecaries. 

I still have lots of questions about our unit and l really enjoy history so l have many questions  but l will never know every thing about our unit But it was so fun and l would totally do it again l think that the year 4s will  really enjoy doing this is just like we all did.

What was the most interesting things you learnt???

Sovereign Hill !!!!

 Last week we had camp and it was crazy. It was probably the best camp I’ve been to so far.we went to sovereign hill I find it a lot because it was set in the 1850s l know it may seem weird but I really enjoy history l learn so much from getting married to a clean room. My favourite highlight was as my cabin l can’t explain how amazing it was. In  my cabin l had Jaime,Holly,Sylve and Goldie we were the Ozza’s we where obviously the best cabin we made at least 200,000 memes the top best were ( TORI GET OUT OF THE FRIDGE ) our plan was when anyone knocked on our cabin door we would scream out Toura get out of the fridge and I would stand there shivering 🥶. I didn’t exactly go to plan and Mrs Taylor walked in the door and Goldie screams out ( tori get out of the fridge ) and we all Best out laughing.  

The other one was well let me do some explaining mr Benwell had to do a room check our room  was very clean I mean we deserve to be award for best and cleanest room. We  finished cleaning and as a joke We made a dance for Mr Benwell when he Walkes in well let me tell you it was really funny and crazy. 

It was soo funny in school l was apparently going to get a husband because I’m good at sewing also I got a job from Mrs Cambell. Here are some photos that l put into a video hope you enjoy it.
