Funny Epitaphs

And lost the plot
See ya James and ya games.

Who was a real boiler
He lost a debate
Then he had a headache.

Here is Mr Shig.
Who went to a gig
He left his drink unattended
And he was befriended,
By his dead friend with a purse
They live happily ever after in a hearse.

She got beat by a cat
Bruised and battered
But she was not flattered.

5 Mile Creek.....

Five Mile Creek!!!
File Mile Creek is our integrated subject for term 3.We have been looking at houses, what makes a home and also learning about sub-division. We had to sub-divide five mile creek! To do this, we had to have at least 100 squares of shops and plaza’s, at least have 20 houses and to fill up the whole area of five mile creek. For some it took 3 days and for others it took a week. But the teachers had a surprise for us…..we also had to give our land value! That definitely took a week! After we had done the land valuation we had to pick a job out of the hat and we would be stuck with that job and profile. Our profiles gradually became bigger and we did an activity to see what our superannuation and stuff like that are. Then we worked our regular income. Nowadays we are developing our floor plan for one of the houses in our five mile creek plan

Term 2 Canberra Camp & 5/6 Election!

Last term the 5/6’s learnt about the Australian government and how it works. So we did so much work that the teachers were so tired and after camp to, can you imagine!!!! We went to Canberra for our camp. For a whole week it was a lot of fun. On the first day everyone was so excited but it was so boring. We stopped at the edemougha pub for lunch, and then we visited different stops on the why like the dog on the tucker box and so on. On to the mint that was cool!!!. On the second day we went to the high court of Australia. Court 2 was sitting (court of appeal) and seen all the other courts, then lunch we had pizza, then electoral education centre, then the national film and sound archives and then a drive past some embassies and at night we swam in the A.I.S swimming pool.

On the third day national museum, then Australian institute of sport, then Questacon that was fun!!! I went on the free fall 7.2m tall on a bar an then let go.

On Thursday we went to Parliament House and we did a role play and I was p.m., then off to the war memorial that was so interesting.

Then our trip back home that was so boring. That was our trip to Canberra
When we got back we had an election I was the leader for the Blue Monkey Lakers we won that was so fun!!!!

RESPECT

Respect is to treat someone or anyone the way you want to be treated. It also means not to tease people that look different, wear different clothes and do different things. These are ways of showing respect:

* Giving your seat up for an elderly person or a pregnant woman on public transport

* Attending someone's funeral

* Accepting other cultures and customs

* Always use your manners

* Don't wreck other people's things

* Respect peoples feelings and opinions

* Respect our laws

That is what respect means to me and it should mean to you.

Music

Every Monday morning each learning group has a different specialist. There is Food Tec, Music, Technology and Drama. Each term we have a different specialist. Last term my learning group had Music. Our music teacher is Piero. Each week we did a different thing. For e.g., One week we sang another week we played instruments. We also learned about a lot of old bands and singers, like Elvis Presley and the Beatles. The sort of instruments we play are the castanets, drums, bongos, xylophone, triangle and plenty more.

Sports Report

We had tryouts for sport .At tryouts this week we had 4 choices to tryout for. I did a tryout for soccer .I thought I did pretty good .But we don’t know if we are in the team. We will find out next Friday. They are only aloud 13 people in the team. We first had to dribble the ball around a cone and then halfway back we had to kick the ball to the next person. Then we played keepers off. After that we played a real game of soccer. The red team won. I was on the plain team.

Sports Report

Last week The Lakes played Plenty Parklands in volleyball. Plenty park girls won the first game but the second game The Lakes won. Because it was a tie The Lakes and Plenty Parklands we had to play another game. Keir said there is only 8 minutes so who ever had the highest score they would wIn and The Lakes won! The lakes boys lost by 2 games.

Cricket: last week we played against Plenty Parklands. It was a close game. But they just beat us in the end; it was only by 6 runs. Kyle took the only wicket he balled it and caught it. Shaun was the best batsmen of the day. He hit a whopping 40 runs. Our only girl Keely almost got a wicket how good is that! Our team was pretty sad because we lost but we still had fun. I think we will win this week against Whittlesea well I hope our team wins. Oh yeah one more thing it was raining so that made it even harder.
