Room 10 had a terrific excursion to Fremantle on Monday 7 September.We had a chance to experience life on an old sailing ship. We visited the replica ship, 'Dyfken', which is situated in the Port of Fremantle.
The 'Dyfken' sailed from Holland to Queensland in 1606. It had sailed to the Indonesian islands , then proceeded to sail, thinking they were going to New Guinea, instead they landed in Queensland  in Cape York.

At that time, in 1606, no-one realised how large Australia actually was.
It was a great day full of Australian history.

Our day ended with a visit to the Shipwreck Museum. We were able to learn so much about the early
explorers, and how they are still apart of our history.

We saw the plate which was left by Dirk Hartog and even saw a model of the Dyfken.

We had an opportunity to sketch the 'Dyfken' before boarding.

It was amazing how many details we had to include in our sketches.

Our guide was explaining to use about the cannons on the ship.

Going down under the main deck, to where all the supplies were stored.

It would have been very dark and rough sailing down here in 1606.

Under the main deck.

It felt very cold and damp.

We walked to the Round House in Fremantle.

We would really like to give a huge 'Thank you' to our volunteer mums, who came along and assisted Room 10 for the day

During Term 3, Room 10, will have a new desk in the classroom. The new desk will be for our 'Star Student' of the week. Each week during the term a student will be selected to become the Room 10 Star Student. The student chosen will display different positive attributes to receive the opportunity to sit at the special desk within the classroom. They may present their work at a high level, or display terrific listening skills or know their time tables. Each lucky student will sit at the special desk and they can use the top of the desk to display any items about themselves. They will also fill out a Star Student information sheet, which will give us information about them. After their week is finished, they place their certificate, photo at the desk and their information sheet into their 'Certificate Book'
.We have had two lucky students, so far, and they both invited our class bear, Mandy Miner, to sit at the desk with them.
Our first Star Student was Iltafullah and this week is Siena.
Congratulations to both of our class members.

                                            Siena is so happy to be at the Star Student desk.

Room 10 and the whole school have been skipping to raise awareness for Jump Rope For Heart. This was a great day when everyone from Wattle Grove Primary had an opportunity to skip through different stations, while raising money for Jump Rope For Heart. But, best of all, everyone had a great time. We would like to thank Mrs Oliver and Mr Sherlock for this day day. The school raised over $5000. Room 10 students have been working hard to come up with some fantastic skipping tricks over the term.

During Term 2, we have been learning about Tropical Rainforests. This has included the animals, plants, layers of the rainforest and human impact on the rainforest. It has been interesting to learn about the different rainforests on Earth. It is amazing, how humans have destroyed so much of this wonderful land. Through the destruction made by humans, we have lost many  animals and plant species. The students' in Room 10 have made fabulous posters as well as including technology by creating a powerpoint about a chosen animal living in the rainforest they selected for their project.
It has been extremely informative and we have all enjoyed listening to the presentations by the students. I would like to say, well done to you all .
