Book week post!

A good information book consists of: good and colourful illustrations to support the idea, good vocabulary to prove the point and lastly a good layout so the reader can easily follow along with the text.

My favourite book from the choices was Make Believe by M.C Escher witch had amazing illustrations or illusions with a piece of Escher’s life in text.

What was your favourite book?

Cool camp reflection!!!

This camp was an authentic experience for people who are curious about the 1850s in Ballarat or schools who want to experience the thrills, scares and education of the children who attended school back then.

On camp we dressed up and went to school on the goldfields. Ours was Red Hill National School. We learned what school was like; it was tough and much different to our school in the present. I learned that the kids in the 1850s played with the cup, ball and string game, spinning buttons. For girls were skipping ropes and grace sticks. For boys there was badminton with bats made of bone.

An emotion that I felt was surprised when I found out how heavy the Welcome Nugget was. Another emotion was laughable when we found out that the pants that we were going to wear were called knickerbockers!

My favourite parts were when we went down the mines in a tram like vehicle on tracks and when we went to Aura, the sound and light show.

Something I would change would be to try lying in a tent, mud hut or cottage bed.

What would be your backstory for a school?
