Camp 2014

At camp I first went to the Telstra Tower, we went 875m high and 15m more when we went up the stairs.

We went to the Parliament House and we did a role play in the Senate & House Of Representatives.

We also went to a lot of museums. At the mint I made a coin and I also got a 2015 coin, we also went to the War Memorial, Cockington Green and Treasure Gallery.

We also went to Questacon, then we had dinner at our motel on the first day, and we had dinner at the Cafe on the second night.

We also went to the "AIS" and I played a lot of games there.

Then came Home!

Canberra Trip

A three hour drive in our coach wasnt fun. But the movie that Doug (our bus driver) put on entertained us for the whole of the trip.
Our first stop was to have recess at a local park. Then we drove to Telstra Tower. Telstra Tower had a great view.Then our next stop was to Parliament house and after that we went to the AIS.
We expolored much more places such as Cockington Green, The Mint , Old Parliament house, Questacon, The museum and more.
Canberra was a great experiance and I learned alot.

Recount Story

We are on the bus going up a big hill and at the top......"OOOOO look it's Telstra Tower" Jake exclaimed loudly
"Shhhhh, I'm writing" I shouted back over the isles
"Let me see, Let me see" Jake quickly replied, Jake jumped up from his chair and landed face first on his own pillow. We got back on the bus and started down the hill as soon as we got to the bottom we were abducted by aliens. "Don't worry about it is all according to plan" one of the teachers screamed before she was decapitated and evaporated.

First we were on the bus. Noah and I talking "look" yelled jake"it's Telstra tower!"
"Oh my god" some people muttered
Others sighed wishing they were elsewhere. Suddenly everyone stopped complaining and gasped "look, it's Telstra tower" yelled Noah in my ear
"No" said jake in a patronising voice "it's KFC."
The bus stopped, as the engine jiggled my seat I looked through the window and saw Telstra tower... This was going to be a long trip...

Then we had lunch... It tasted good. Then we went to Parliament House, it was exactly like what I thought (like Parliament House). We went to AIS which was fun. Once we got to the motel we had dinner and slept

Day 2
First we woke up then we had breakfast and went to the national museum of Australia which was cool. Then after we went to the Australian film and sound archive (where I made an animation).

Day1: It was a long trip to Canberra but it was worth it. The first stop was Telstra tower, it was really high I was actually scarred I was gonna drop my camera. At the end of the day we saw what rooms we were in. I was with Hayden, Bill and Dash. We were first fighting over the top bunk. I actually got it first but Dash pushed me off. Then Hayden pulled Dash off so Hayden got it. But then bill shouted out Queen sized bed so I jumped on it and said its all mine and I got it. It was a pretty funny situation
Day 2: We went to Questacon the best thing there was the slide but I only got to go on it once because the line was long.
Day3: We went to Cockington green. After 3 days of being in Canberra it was still worth it.

for the love of learning
