We also made damper. (See recipe page) The project details can be found on this page: http://4-5classnews.blogspot.com.au/p/homework-and-assignments.html Timelines: Learning in Groups Children worked in groups to make a Timeline that gave an overview of important historical events in Australian History. Here are some photos of their work. Learning through Creating Nicholas researched on the Internet about the First Fleet. He found a picture of one of the boats and made it out of paper, sticks and string. Then he looked up some of the names of boats in the First Fleet. Good job Nicholas! History Dioramas Children were asked to write a journal showing a day in the life of a Colonial Settler or convict. Then they had to make a diorama to show what life was like for their chosen person. Some of the finished dioramas are pictured below. Beau's Blacksmith Diorama Charli's school house diorama Claudia's Bakehouse Diorama Emma's Ned Kelly Diorama (Can you find where he is hiding?) Georgia A's Diorama Georgia D's Convict Diorama James P's Colonial Settlement - Farming diorama Lily's Convict Servant Diorama Neyon's Ned Kelly Diorama James P's farming diorama - His information was very interesting too! Joel's Police Station in the 1800's Spiro's Indigenous Australian Diorama Zac C's Convict diorama Zahra's Goldminer's Diorama Zak M's Farming Diorama Kayla's Ned Kelly Diorama Mia's Farming diorama Cooper's Bushranger hut Eden's Jail house James N's Goldminers diorama Neyon's modified Ned Kelly diorama Patrick's goldmining diorama Adelle's Office in the 1800's Abby's convict boat could move in 4 directions! Life in a convict boat was not easy! Caitlin's Goldmining Settlement Georgia S made a diorama with Ned Kelly and his gang and the Euroa Bank Tom made a diorama of tents used by Ned Kelly Nicola did a diorama of a Blacksmith in the 1800's. Ben's Gold miner Abbie's Charles Conder diorama Alyssa's great sketch and backdrop! Breanna A's picture of what it may have looked like before settlement. Breanna A's Ned Kelly diorama Breanna G made a popstick staircase. Oops I will turn the photo later! Breanna G's impression of the landscape before settlement. Daniel's 'before settlement' picture Daniel's miners diorama Daniel's miner's diorama Dylan's Ned Kelly diorama - Clay Ned Kelly and pastels for trees. Dylan's overlay Close up of Dylan's clay model of Ned Kelly Abbie's pastels picture of the environment before settlement. Emily's Mary Lee diorama Ethan's Ned Kelly diorama Ethan's drawing of life before settlement. Another view of Ethan's Ned Kelly diorama And a close up! Ethan W's diorama. Notice the rings on the tree! Ethan W has a distinctive artistic style to his drawings! Ethan W's diorama again! Jayde's overlay of the environment. Jayde's gold-mining town, with canvas tent and clay features Madison's Caroline Chisholm diorama. Madison's drawing of the environment before the 'invasion' or 'settlers', depending on your point of view. Madison had a special way of lifting up the overlay - She used velcro dots. Memphis did a gold- mining diorama. His sense of humour always shows through! Some tired, sad gold-miners! Mitchell made a gold-mining settlement too. He used clay, natural materials, paper, wood etc. and showed a miner panning for gold. Here's a close up! And another, that shows his backdrop. Nate drew a picture of what the environment is like now, compared to the times of Ned Kelly. What a difference! We have certainly changed things in Australia. Nate spent a lot of time making his Ned Kelly out of clay. He used printing to make the log look realistic and a cutting technique to make the grass. He made the police stand up with tabs. He also made the tree with fringing. He thought about the composition and relative heights of objects. Nic spent some time making a gold miner's hut along a river. There's lots of gold in this river! I think he has struck it rich! Here's another view of Nic's work. Stefan make a gold mining scene too! He chose a backdrop to show what times were like in the harbour when settlers first arrived. He made a pick axe out of matchsticks and a glue gun. He drew one of his miners and put them on a chair that he also made. Stefan made his backdrop to show what the environment may have looked like before mining. Tia made her Ned Kelly diorama using pegs to be the police. She made a fire with popsticks and cellophane. Tia drew a scene that may have been around before settlement. Will did a diorama about mining. He made a shaft in the top of his box. Will drew a fabulous picture of the miners and surveyors. Here is the miner down in the shaft. Will made a cart and track, as well as a ladder. Here is a close up view. His torches were placed along the walls for light. Zak made a box with a number of compartments. It was the gold miners along the riverside. Zoe made Charles Conder's house and drew him. Then put him on a chair she had made. She also made paintings, like the ones Charles painted. Zoe made a landscape to show what life may have been like before settlement as well as after settlement (see below) Here is another view of Zoe's diorama. The children all did an excellent job constructing their dioramas of Australian people in the 1800's
