Well. . . . . . . . . . most of the time anyway!
We have had a great year finding out about
all sorts of things in a fun and interesting way - like living and working
in an ancient tomb and in a cold desert, or having an 'outta sight' time
on camp.
Read on to find out all about it . . . .

We did projects on Ancient Egypt in Term
One.
We had an open house where parents and students
looked at our displays.
Some of us had models as well.The students
had a topic to study.
Some of these topics were Sphinx, Cleopatra,
gods and goddesses, ancient artefacts, their clothing, make-up, perfume
etc.
Our
classroom was turned into a Pharoah's tomb. The scenery was spectacular.
Some of the children dressed in ancient clothes. We made some food
and served it to the visitors and teachers telling them it was from the
ancient times. Most of them loved it.
Although there were a lot of decorations it
only lasted for one day. Many classes came to visit from years 1-7.
Did you know that the Ancient Egyptians mummified their pharoahs hoping
that they would live in the next life? These days scientists realise
that the now disintegrated bodies have no chance of coming back to life,
so they dig up the bones and left over pieces to try and find the Ancient
Egyptians' way of life. We have learnt a lot from the Ancient Egyptians
and now our way of life is easier.
The day was very enjoyable and successful.
We are sure everyone enjoyed themselves and learned a lot. |
Camp Spotlights
Things that happened at camp and on the way
. . . .
|
The camp was held from June 28th to July 2nd.
We were staying at the Coolgardie Ghost Inn.
We stopped at Cunderdin, Merredin and Southern
Cross.
The trip took eight hours.

Nearly everyone slept some of the way especially
Sarah and Janice.
Most of the people swapped seats, for instance
Callie and Melissa.
Jessica O, a former student, came with everyone
on the camp. She lives in Darwin!
We had hot chocolate everymorning and night
for breakfast and supper.

Every morning, every dorm had to do
a rhyme or skit!
Every night the girls were very noisy!!
One of the nights, Jared broke his bed.
On the 3 degree morning, Mathew woke up
to find that he looked like a hedgehog.
Every morning except Thursday and Friday,
we did morning fitness.
Mrs Donald KISSED everyone goodnight!
(The boys weren't that embarrassed!)

The park we attended the most was Hammond Park.
We went there Tuesday and Thursday. It was like a luxury park! There was
ponds, play equipment, animals like kangaroos and emus and heaps more!
|
|
On the Thursday, we went to the Coolgardie Camel
Farm. The camels names were Phillipe, BoJo, Marcus and Sebastian.
Oshani couldn't wait to get off her camel!
|
 |
Also on the Thursday, we went to the Coolgardie
Cemetery. Some of the graves
didn't have headstones or markers so people
stepped on people's graves. People tried to avoid these kinds of
graves (the ones without headstones or markers) but no one could!
On the Tuesday, everyone went shopping in
the town of Kalgoorlie. We went to
a tourist store and Thingz! |
We went to the Super Pit. It is one of
the biggest open-cut mining sites in the world!
 |
|
 |
|
We went panning for gold at the Hannan's North
Tourist Mine. Lots of people found gold!
|
On the Thursday night, we had our concert.
The acts contained were:
The 3/4 Monty
Cops and Robbers play
The Britney Spears song 'Baby One more Time'
Some old songs from movies
The Winnie-The-Pooh song
Awkward modelling ("drunk" people, "posh" people
and more)
Teacher's Act
The National Anthem with socks.
|
We had a disco afterwards. Carly was definitely
the one who boogied down the most!
|
| The next morning, everyone got
ready to headed off for home. |
