On the 27th, 28th and 29th of November, the year 6’s went to Melbourne to start our year 6 camp. When we got there we first went to Science Works, went to a lightning show and to see how electricity works and what are the dangers to people when lightening strikes. Next up was the planetarium, we saw different forms in the sky at night, how the earth formed different to others and where the planets are. After that we went to the MCG for a tour to the change rooms to the actual ground and where the old library is, it was a tour of a lifetime. Next up was checking into the YHA [Youth Hostel Australia], my room was room 114. after we did that, we went to a nearby pizza shop, the pizza there was delicious, after that we had a ice cream and played tag for a little while. then we went to Galactic Circus and played lots and lots and lots of games, like shooting a basketball though the hoop and getting a high score, busting out your favorite moves and playing all sorts of racing games and simulators. After that, it was time to go and come back to the hotel and that’s the end of day 1.

To be continued

Last week, the year 6’s went to Warrnambool Primary School to do some activities from “the active youth development program”. First up that we did over there was getting signatures off Victorian Olympians that were there. Next up was going to our sports that we picked, I picked swimming and we had two Olympians teaching us and after that we did different sports. Then it was time to go. I thought it was fantastic and I would of done it again.

Yesterday, all of the students went to the hall and watched an hour long performance that Ringwood Secondary School put on. They did some music [all types], some singing, and even some dancing. There were two people from our school who had to go up to the front and do things like playing the tuba and conducting.  The host said  “people playing the tuba  always get the girls” and then two girls came up to  Alex and kissed him on the cheeks.  Same thing happened to Bella but it was two boys who kissed her on the cheeks.

I am so excited about the next 5 days because I’m going to Brauer College for the extra transition, and on Friday, me and the WEPS factor people and the chess club are going to the Warrnambool Show. On Sunday and Monday me and 4 other people and our chess teacher are going to Melbourne for the state finals of chess.

Today after recess, the kids that are going to Brauer College with me next year are going to have a meeting. We are able to ask questions about what it will be like. The next two weeks we are going to visit Brauer College and do some pretty amazing activities like woodwork and cooking. We’ll get to have a tour around the school. I am particularly interested in seeing the gym. I am pretty excited about going to Brauer.

Yesterday on Tuesday the 10th of September, the year 56’s split-ed into two groups to have an hour of writing witch may be boring for some people, but it was with Matt Porter!!! Matt Porter is a author of books that are called “Crazy Relief Teachers” and “My Country”. we played games that is in his new book “Mr. Jackpot and the slash of cash” like The Word Is Right and, I got to play “Hot Seat Millionaire”, and I still waiting for my million dollars though. Other than that, it was awesome!:)

On Wednesday the 4th of September I went to Brauer College to watch a show called “Play It Again”. I went with my Mum and Dad they thought it was good, but I thought it was hilarious. There was three schools involved. W.E.P.S, Port fairy consolidated, and Merrivale Primary. The kids did all the script, acting, lighting, and sound [with adults helping them]. I went  to see it as well on Thursday with my school. Boss from WEPS, stood out for me because of his fantastic dancing and his funny jokes and hilarious Swedish accent. Congratulations to all the people involved.

On Monday the 12th of august, all of the WEPS students divided up into 12-23 groups that had a different animal, my group was the rhinos. We were doing an experiment on floating and sinking. I thought the diet cola was going to float, but my partner thought it was going to sink, but we [sort of] both got it right, because half of the can was sinking and some of it was floating, which was weird.

Yesterday, all of the year 5/6’s they had an hour of a session with a lady from Canberra who taught us lots of stuff like teaching us how to be like people in the house of representatives. And we also saw Dan Tehan who is really funny and serious at the same time. He even told us he saw Kevin Rudd whipping his hair back, and I got to tell you that I Garrin Williamson challenged him to a chess game at the Warrnambool Show, [or if he dose not make it, he’ll come to school] He even shook my hand!

On Wednesday, our class watched a you tube clip about Time Lapse, witch is about a hotel with people sliding doors side to side. And it was SOOOOOOOOO awesome, I would of rated it 150/10, and they showed us how they made the Time Lapse video. AWESOME!!!
