Soccer Gala Day

The Soccer Gala Day

By Mikayla

On the 23rd July 2013, Years 5 & 6 attended a soccer gala day and represented CTK. We played several games against different schools. There were 6 teams playing at the soccer gala day including 4 girls teams and 2 boys teams. We played at Marco and Kelso park at Panania. Both years 5 & 6 had fun and we would love to participate in another soccer gala day.

Gold Excursion

   The  Australian Gold Rush   

 By Lily, Luke & Mahrae

Year 5 have been learning about the Australian gold rush, we also went to

Belgenny farm to find out more about the Gold Rush in Australia. We had a good experience and we had a chance to get to dig and pan for gold.

Firstly we all met the tour guide and went to the town hall, and he told us the generation of the gold rush. After that, we pretended  to be shepherds and rounded sheep. When we finished we checked their skin and sure they were healthy. We also had to check their teeth. We learnt that if they have four big teeth you half it and that is how old they are. Then we heard a bell ring, we ran to it finding a man saying that the Gold rush had just started and we went to the bank to get our fake money and licence to dig and pan for Gold. Next, we got ourselves into groups of 5 or 6 and put our money together, then we went to the shop to buy all the things that we needed (shelter, food, pans, buckets) and we bought our shelter first (tents) and built it up using pegs. After that we got to make some damper buying all the things we needed and while we waited for it to cook we went for a ride in a wagon, (but we had to pay) and we went to a river to pan for Gold. We found lots of Gold there and it was very fun too. We also went to a place where you could dig for gold. Then we ate our damper, weighed our gold and Ashleigh, Georgia, Mikayla and Clare won the gold weighing competition. So then we said our goodbyes to Belgenny Farm and also we got to keep the fake gold.

Language of Position

LANGUAGE OF POSITION WITH FREDDOS

On Monday the 22nd of July, year 5 did a task for Text Types. The task was to take a photo of the freddo and use Language of position to describe where the freddo is, some year 5’s did this with a partner but others were on their own.  

A lot of year 5 did heaps of photos but Mahrae & Lily got the most they did 24 photos!! But Ashleigh also did a great job because she had 23 photos!

Well done girls!!!

And these are some examples:

These are some examples of what we did on the Monday, 22 July. We had lots of fun doing this because we got to eat the freddo!!!!
