Australia Through the Decades Presentation

Well done to everyone for all of the hard work you put into presenting your Decades Task - you all did a fantastic job of documenting over 150 years of Australian history! A big thank you to all the parents who came along to view our displays and bushdancing demonstration! Thanks to Mrs Foyster for teaching us how to Strip the Willow, do the Heel & Toe Polka and dance the Waves of Bondi!

I hope you all have a relaxing holiday - you deserve it after a busy first semester in Year 6! 

I look forward to seeing you all in Term 3.

First day back is Monday 22 July.

Watch this clip about sprinter Catherine Freeman's victory in the 400 metre final on 25 September 2000 at the Sydney Olympic Games. Read the accompanying text.

Why do you think that this was such a significant event for many Australians?

The Olgas (Kata Tjuta)

These beautiful artworks were created using Art Set - check out our classroom for the paper version!

We used watercolour paints to create these interpretations of these stunning rock formations.
