Lachlan’s end of year reflection

My year at Avondale has like life had it’s ups and downs. The lasting memory that I will take away has been the china camp. i learnt a lot about china, it’s language and people, it was also a great chance to get to know my teachers and students out of school.

The china trip was a great chance for the Mandarin students to talk real Mandarin with local people. It was also a chance for those who don’t learn mandarin to learn a bit of chinese Most of the people we met spoke english, but some didn’t and this was an opportunity. Most people were welcoming even if we spoke just a little mandarin.

Following on from the China trip we had a lot of learning opportunities.

This year we also did a musical. The musical was quite successful in that most students enjoyed singing the songs in front of the parents. Mr Goh is a lot of fun.

As I reflect on the year, I am also starting to think about next year. I’m looking forward to a great Year 6.The things i have ucheved this year was if sumething is tuf and i don't get it the first time i still do it. The tings i will inprove on next year is controling my temper.

__My Beijing Trip Experience__

My Beijing Experience was amazing. We went to many different places and temples. One of the things I enjoyed the most was the Great Wall of China. To the first stage of the Great Wall, it was very hard, but as we went on it got easier. We were going to the temple but we didn't get that far. A lot of us stayed behind, but i kept on going with a smaller group. I felt proud that I climbed the Great Wall of China. Did you know that The Great Wall was built to protect the nation mainly from the Mongolian Barbarians?

Another great experience was visiting the Forbidden City. Even though it was mainly living rooms and big courtyards, it still had amazing structure. Did you know that they didn't use nails, but they bound the wood together.

I aslo really enjoyed the food in China. I talked about the steamed buns in my presentation. They were delicious!

English: we have done poitry. Math: in Math we have been doing time table's for china. Humanities: in Humanities we have been doing town planing. Music: In Music we have been will be lerning about Music from arond the wold.

This term has been an exciting term. We have done lots of projects and lots of other fun things. Here are some of the things I liked best. In Drama we have been studying melodramas, we learnt some scripts, then we went on to making our own. This was a success but as we haven't performed it yet, however we have finished practicing it and are ready to perform. In English we have been studying nouns, adjectives, pronouns and parts of speech. We have also been doing reading groups and novel study. In novel study you would read a book and do the activities. In reading groups we have done fun interactive activities on the mimio board. In maths we have been doing worksheets, timestables, angles, some assessments and the Chinese multiplication method. In history we have been studying migrants to Australia from all over the world. Such as, the Potato Famine, Gold Rush, Highland Clearance, the German Influence, Japanese Pearl Divers and Torres Straight Islanders. In Art we have been exploring colours in art using the colour wheel. We have been learning about primary colours and secondary colours. We have also been looking at buildings with turrets and we have been painting a lot.

These are the things I have found challenging; in Maths it was hard to be fluent with my timestables. In History it was hard to do some things on the Prezi and find interesting information.

For my goals for next term, I am going to try to be fluent with my Mandarin, be fluent with my timestables, try to figure things out on more websites and improve in my spelling.

English: In English we did persuasive argument. Math: We have been doing assessments. Humanities: We have been doing history projects on pezi. I did it on German influences in south Australia, you can see it down below!

History Homework Term 2 Week 3

GOLD RUSH

Imagine a young man in a depressed old fishing village in north china. You had barely any money and you were struggling to survive. Then one day, someone in your village heard a rumour of gold in a strange place called Australia. The man had no choice but to leave, so he believed these rumors. He hopped on the next boat, not exactly knowing if they were going to Australia or not. The boat ride took three months. It was a long and painful journey. Many got sick. When he arrived in Australia, he was told to go to the mines, he searched for gold. He found lots. But it wasn’t going to him! It was going to the government!

Then the government starting charges taxes. He didn’t know what this was, until he was charged every time he found gold. A group of men from different countries and some from Australia formed a rebellion against this. They made a flag that represented the rebellion. After the rebellion his family came. They lived a better life as they had a better chance of survival in Australia than their old fishing village in North China.
