Dragon to guard the class


This term, we did varities of things including art. We did a paper mache dragon with paint, paper, glitter, glue, card board and paper mache. First we made a creative group so all the creative people got together and spoke at each other about ideas. At last we came to an excellent idea ( well Mr. McLean got the idea) we got a card board box for a computer, cut the sharp corners, get half a box about a size of a laptop then stick the little box on the big box, get a shoe box stick it in the laptop box. We made horns out of thin cardboard and stuck them on. When we finally finished, we had the dragon mached and painted it in red paint. It looked terrific but the eyes, nostrils, scales were missing so it looked really strange. After a few days of hard work we finished the dragon. It looked very fierce so we named it,'The dragon to guard the class.'

Grade 5MC attend camp at Forest Lodge




On Tuesday 10th of March 2009, Grade 5MC attended camp at Forest Lodge Farm. The journey to the camp included a visit to Coal Creek Historical Village in Kurrumburra. This visit cooinsided with this terms topic of Australian History.

The students from our class were involved in a classroom activity from the 1800's including writing in copper plate style with ink and quill as well as travelling on the tramway. Everyone enjoyed the tour with Ian.

From Coal Creek we travelled via bus to Forest Lodge Farm. The journey took about one and half hours and all the students were very excited by the time we arrived.
