This term 5B have had a blast we have had a amazing experience while learning many things we haven’t done before. Here let me take you on a wonderful experience we have all had. It all started when we got put into partners I was working with Nic. We where told we had to chose a building to make for a diorama we both really wanted the Eureka Hotel but a another group wanted the Eureka Hotel too. So me and Nic were being the bigger people and letting them have it so we chose the Criterion Store.
This whole term was forcing in integrated the Gold Rush.
Then we went to Sovereign Hill. We got all packed for the 1850’s we all had a ball we learnt so much down in the mines, we learnt about rights and justice while we were there we had a booklet. On the booklet we had actives to do. We had Map activities and a wish list so we could buy things. And most importantly notes. To jot down anything about our store we were doing so me and Nic went into the Criterion and added notes so when we came back to make our diorama so we both had ideas what we could put in the store. We meant about the eureka and learnt about the gold mines
Then we had a school program which was posh and 1850’s style. Then when we got back we hit diorama making while making we were told to make a second small place on the diggings we choice the Waterloo we both originally wanted to make the Eureka Stockade for our 2nd square but we we’re adaptable and changed but really happy at the end with our outcome.
Some PLA’s we had to to use was
. Creative = to come up with ideas to make our diorama
. Collaboration = to work together to get things done
. Resilience = to make sure we could help other if there’s wasn’t done
These PLA’s are what we had use for our diorama making.
This hole until has been and rid we have all out our heart into learning new things and the Eureka stockade and the important dates that happened in Ballarat also the gold rush we also learnt about. We went to a museum where we saw the real flag from the stockade – sadly some parts are missing. And I learnt about Henry Wise at the museum. We had been given a person and we learnt about them on these screens.
We have learnt about what is was like back then. We went panning and I was lucky enough to find gold. This whole until I had to show
. Resilience = to step into someone else’s shoes
. Learning Carefully = listening to important key dates and people
. Courage = to make a realistic diorama
The year 5’s are now getting ready to act a play set on the gold rush
Do you know anything about the gold rush if so what?
