History

Teacher: Mr Kemp
Welcome to the Year 5 History Page. On this page you will find our learning as we progress through the year. Here we will post links, games, activities and information relating to our topic for the term. This would be a great way to share your learning with family and friends.

**__Thursday 14th November__** After doing our Google Doc on Tuesday - here is an article about Typhoon Yolanda - read this and watch the video clip and add any more information needed to the Google Doc. []

**__Tuesday 12th November__** Today we thought about the people and areas devastated by Typhoon Yolanda in the Phillipines and we have learnt a lot about what a typhoon is and how it developed. We also learnt about the devastation - here is the information we picked up from today's session: [] **__Thursday 7th November__** Use this link - [] - to choose an extreme weather event and record and present 3 or more facts about this event to the class. Think about what makes this extreme weather and how it effects people. We will be using this information to help us later in the session. **__Tuesday 5th November__** This term we are learning all about Extreme Weather. Now that the musical has finished and you have performed amazingly well to our community we have the chance to settle into our topic. Today we are going to use this website to help us identify some extreme weather events that occured throughout 2012. Use this website and choose 2 events. Use a Venn diagram to compare and contrast the 2 events. Think about what happens before, during and after the events and think of the topic of extreme weather. The website is: [|http://www.tiki-toki.com/timeline/entry/55279/Extreme-Weather-Climate-Events-2012/#vars!panel=500561]!

**__Thursday 19th September__** Well done on the presentation of your Urban Planning projects. They were incredible and showed just how much you have learnt this term about how Urban Planning works. We have proudly displayed your projects in the Collaboration room for everyone to see. It would be great for you to upload some of your work and maybe a photo of your map to your Wiki homepage. Please do that this afternoon before you move on to play this Urban Planning game. [] - it is a National Geographic game and hopefully you can make the "greenest city" using your skills and learning from this term! Good luck and congratulations on your projects! **__Wednesday 18th September__** Amazing presentations today Year 5. You have blown me away. Now I am gonig away to read all of your descriptions and look closer at your amazing maps! Here are a few photos from today's presentations:

**__Monday 2nd September__** I hope your "Urban Planning" assignment is going well. Here are some websites that you might find useful when planning your own city:
 * A game that gives you advice when planning a city - very basic but may be useful when you start designing your city - []
 * A detailed explanation of "How Urban Planning Works" - []
 * A game where you can have a go at building your own city - very basic - []

**__Tuesday 4th June__** Today we started presenting our Prezi's to the class. We are half way through the presentations and everyone else will be sharing on Friday.

Check out this collaborative Google Doc that we created from our research in class today - we will be using this to help us investigate these colonies next week: [] **__Wednesday 17th April__** This term we are learning all about Migration to Australia in the 19th Century. We will be investigating several aspects of why people mvoed to Australia between 1800-1899 and what major events caused them to move.
 * Photographs/images and a title
 * Factual information (in own words)
 * A world map (that may or may not) zoom in to show the area that you are talking about or to show the journey that they took to migrate (e.g. China to Palmer River)
 * Answer the following questions:
 * What are the experiences and contributions of your migrant group to the area they migrated?
 * Why did this particular migrant group come to this region?
 * How did they impact the colony?
 * What contributions did they make to the region?
 * As a result of their migration, why is the area different today?

**__Tuesday 19th February__** Today we are going to discuss leaders who helped shape Australian History and / or colonies and we are going to specifically look at a lady who we now find on the Australian $20 note.
