= End of term reflection =

= -Term 1 =

== This term was really fun; two of the biggest things that happened this term were getting your leadership badges. We got to pick 2 leadership roles that we wanted to try out for, I put down Student representative council and music council. To my excitement I got into the SRC and later on this year I was awarded the role of PALS captain as well (playground activities leaders). The other really big thing that happened was getting our tablets, everyone in the middle years was given one, they were really cool and we could do pretty much everything on them. ==

= -Term 2 =

== My goal in mentoring during term 1 and 2 was to be able to do all my times tables off the top of my head. I was able to complete this goal. To do it I had to do 3 minute tests with 60 questions, I ended up being able to finish after 1:45 seconds which is really fast. This term we also had the annual school athletics carnival. It was really hot the day of the carnival, every student had to compete in various competitions; our first one was the 800 metre race which is 2 laps around the athletics track. I came first in that race and it was my favourite event of the day. ==

= -Term 3 =

== This term in drama we had been practising a lot for the poetry recitals, I did the poem “Matilda who told lies”-By Hillaire Bellock, If you want to see the poem it is in on of my earlier updates. On the day of the competition I was really nervous, especially when I got up to perform. Thankfully everything went well and to my delight I got 1st place for my class and my sister got 1st place for her class. One of the things I am most proud of this year was the cross country. I had been getting up EVERY morning to go for a run to practice. The actual race was 2.5km; it was hot but at the same time extremely fun. At the end of the race I was thrilled to hear I had come 1st out of the girls in my class and I was really proud of myself. ==

= -Term 4 =

== This term was the school musical, “The Journey.” In the musical I played the role of Mr Kane a teacher at the school. It was a really good part and I got to wear the best outfit ever!! It included suspenders, Harry Potter glasses and a very bright tie. The musical turned out really well and everyone enjoyed it. This term we have also done debating in English. The first debate we did was a practice one but we still had to do everything properly. In the practice one my team (the negative one) won the debate and I got speaker of the debate which meant so much to me and I was really proud. We are performing our second debates this Friday and the parents are going to come into watch, I hope my team and I do really well. ==

= Conclusion- =

== This year was really fun and I have enjoyed every bit of it. I have achieved many things that I am extremely proud of and will never forget. Next year I would like to improve on my occasional talking habits. Apart from that I think I have had a pretty good year. The subject I personally feel I have improved quite a bit on is math. This year was a brilliant year and I hope next year is just as AWESOME!!!!!! ==

=== This week we have been working really hard. On Wednesday we started our NEW debate topics to do for the parents at the end of the year. The topic my team is doing is Space exploration is a waste of time and money, again, I am on the Negative team saying that this statement is false. I am really nervous for the debates because we have to perform them next Friday. This week in humanities we have started a small assessment where we have to search about 5-6 extreme weather events that have happened across the world and then we have to mark the city or country it was in on the map. so far I have a flash flood in Gundagai, Australia, Hurricane Katrina in USA, typhoon Haiyan in Philippines and the Dust Bowl (a terrible drought) in Oklahoma. In science I have finished my research and brochure for a holiday in space, I think it is really good and I am quite proud of it. ===

=== WooHoo!!!!! Today we had our first debating competition. My team was the negative team and we were against the opinion that "All guns should be banned," I was the third speaker and when I got up I was really nervous and my head was shaking but I did as well as I could and the outcome was pretty good. My team (Lachlan, Paris and I) won the debate against (Alethea, Charlotte and Oliver.C) by just a little bit so it was really close. Although, I was so happy when I was awarded speaker of the debate. On Wednesday we had our first ripper rugby session in sport. It was so fun, we leant how to score a tri, we also played lots of fun games using tag rugby like one called bulldog. It is where you have to try and run across the field without getting your tagged ripped of. I was called to run across alone 6 times, one time I was against 8 other girls and I made it. Out of the 6 times, I got over safely 5 of them. ===

Week 6, Term 4
=== This week we have started our end of year tests, today ( 13/11/13 ) we did 2 tests, one English and one Maths. I enjoyed them both a lot and found them quite fun. Today I also got to do a reading test because I was away yesterday. We still have our BIG end of term spelling tests to do and possibly something else, I'm not sure. Today in sport, we had our gymnastics assessments. Unfortunately, to some bad luck, I had a really sore finger and couldn't take part in some of the activities. On the bright side though, Mr Kelly had seen me do most of the stuff before and marked me for that. At my mentor session today during library I got to peak into to the five year-olds class to say hi, they were making paper plate pizzas that looked delicious. In science we are learning about the universe, particularly our solar system. Here is a fun way to remember the order of planets, "My very easy method just speeds up names," the first letter of each word is the first letter of one of the planets this is the order, "Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune." Here is a photo of our solar system. ===

Week 5, Term 4
===** This is honestly the quickest term yet, I cant believe it is already week 5. This week in maths we learnt about top, front and side views of an object to prepare us for our tests. In technology with Mr Kemp we are learning about photography. So far we have learnt how to take headless photos, photos to make something look bigger or smaller then it actually is, photos to make stuff/people look like they are tiny and standing on other peoples hands or head and the last photos we were taking were ones to do with emotion and backgrounds for example: If you were taking a photo of a sad person you would but them behind a blue background or have things in the background which are blue; that is because blue can be the colour of sadness. Here is a headless photo I took of Lara and Paris. **===

Week 4, Term 4
=== This week was the school musical that we had been practising so hard for. It showed on Tuesday and Wednesday night. It was really fun and turned out really well, everyone did awesomely and we all remembered our lines and lyrics. I loved the school musical but it was a lot of effort to do it because on Wednesday morning the younger cross country team went to compete against other schools and seeing as I am part of it I went with them and tired my self out running up and down bike tracks. This week we also got to celebrate Halloween and everyone was up late on Thursday night trick or treating around the houses and getting lots of candy. I, like everyone else was really happy when Friday came because we knew we could go home and rest. ===

Week 3, Term 4
=== It's week 3 already and we have done a lot. Every day we have been practising for our musical which is next week, it is really tiring. In Humanities we have started learning about extreme weather and it's impact to civilization. We are also going to learn about different types of extreme weather and some tools to measure it. Here are some extreme weathers I know of: hurricanes, cyclones, typhoons, blizzards, tsunamis, lightning, droughts, floods, hail and lots more. In week 5 we will be having our end of terms assessments so we are revising lots of stuff in English and Maths. ===

Week 2, Term 4
=== We have had yet another great week. This week we really got into our debating topics; in class we are doing debating and we have been split up into three groups and in those groups we got put into 2 groups a negative and an affirmative team. My team is the negative team, our topic is "All guns should be banned." We are negative meaning we disagree with the statement. When we have finished our learning about debating we will do a big debate in front of the teachers and parents. ===

Week 1, Term 4
=== First week back and we are already well into learning and practising our musical "The Journey" which is about a girl who feels like she doesn't fit in but then after going all over the world she realizes that she has lots of friends. In the musical I am playing violin for the class song and acting as the teacher Mr Kane. This week we also started to revise what we've learnt in maths to prepare for the tests at the end of term, this week we were doing coordinates and directions. This week was really fun and hopefully the rest of the term is just as great. ===

Term 3 reflection
=== This term has been totally fun and interesting. We did so many awesome things like, go for our camp in China, have a poetry competition, cross country and so many other cool stuff and activities. I can't wait till next term. My favourite thing we have done this term is really hard to choose, I think everything has been my favourite. Tomorrow is the first day of the holidays but I love school so I can't wait to start the new term. Later. ===

Week 9
== This week is the last week of term. Today is Thursday and tomorrow we are having our end of term assembly where everyone gets awards. This week we presented our history projects, they were all so good. In sport we have been doing hockey for the last 3 weeks, before that we were doing basketball. Next term in sport we are doing ripper rugby and gymnastics, I love gymnastics and I don't know how to play rugby. I have just come home from a basketball match at another school. Our team won the first game, 3-13 but then lost the second game even though we should have tied. We are getting closer to finishing our novels in English that we are writing and are up to the editing point. I am really excited because tomorrow my cousins and uncle and aunt are coming over from Australia, WOOHOO!!!!!!!!! ==

Week 8
== This week we had cross country on Friday at Dempsey where we were doing laps around 3 huge fields. I WON!!! For the girls in our class and I was really happy, my sister also one out of the girls in her class. The run was really tiring but I loved it and it was so fun. After the cross country we came back to school to do some finishing of work and had a 1 hour disco at lunch which was really fun and we learnt some hip hop. Next Monday we will be presenting our poems, this is the one I am doing. It is called “Matilda who told lies and was burned to death.” Hope you like it. ==

Week 7
== This week we got to miss a day of school because we were meant to have our cross country at Macritchie on Thursday but it started to rain so everyone just went home. Before cross country my sister and I had to walk to school in the rain and our clothes and shoes got soaked so I am kind of glad we didn’t do cross country on Thursday. We have all been working really hard on our Humanities town planning project that is due in on Tuesday in Week 9. We have had to design a city on the moon called dome city, it is 6km by 5km. We have to build it so it is capable of holding 2000 people which is really not that much. I can’t wait till we hand them in so I can see everyone’s projects. ==

Week 6
== Hi there, sorry I haven’t updated for a while. We have been so busy and done so many cool things. I can’t wait till next term. This week we did some awesome things and had lots of fun. We have been practising our poems in English that we are going to recite in week 9. I really like my poem and find it really fun, I have practised it lots and I am very good at it. This week I have had to hand in my math assignment where I had to plan a family day out and we couldn’t spend more than $400. This is my project. ==

=12/08/13= We are back from our China camp and it was AWESOME!!!!! We went to so many new places and learnt so many new things here is my china camp recount.

Monday-
The first thing we did was go to Tian an'men but unfortunately when we got there it started to rain on us and we were shuffled under ground to a walkway where we stayed for a short while until the rain half stopped and we went to the Forbidden city which was just across the road. We spent 2 hours walking around the forbidden city learning loads of interesting new facts(e.g If there is a tree with a red card it means that it is over 300 years old and a green card means over one hundred). After we walked around the Forbidden city our bus took us to the restaurant for lunch where we ate duck and all sorts of nice and unique foods. Once we finished lunch we made our way to a tea house where we learnt Chinese tea culture, we also learnt about four different types of tea. We learnt about Jasmine tea, Oolong tea, Pure tea and lychee tea. Oolong tea was my personnel favourite then Jasmine, they both taste very tasty. Once we did the Chinese tea culture we went to a famous sports school where we were taught kung-fu, we learnt a routine that was not to easy but not to hard. After we did kung-fu we went to watch a kung-fu panda show about pandas wanting to do kung-fu, I think the Acrobatics and kung-fu was great but the storyline was horrible. Once the show was done we went or dinner then back to our hotel or bed.

Tuesday-
On Tuesday morning we made our way back to a lake near the martial arts school where we all hopped on tri-shaws and had a really relaxing ride around for a bit. I went on the tri-shaw with Mrs. Wooley it was really fun. Once we hopped off the tri-shaws we went for a short walk to an old house where we learnt how to make traditional dumplings. Once we had all made a dumpling each we went for lunch which was one of my favourite meals, it was sooooo delicious. Once everyone finished lunch we hopped on the bus and went for a short drive to the temple of heaven, the temple of heaven is used by the emperor in summer, spring and winter and he would stay there for 3 nights every time after he did a tea ceremony. It was very hot at the temple of heaven but I think that it is such a beautiful building, the main one and all the surrounding ones. We had a bit of a photo stop taking pictures of the wonderful and detailed architecture. we also looked in a small museum there where most of the words were in mandarin. After the temple of heaven we went back to Tian an,men square to see it while it was not raining and we learnt some more things. Then we went for a short bus ride to Way fu jin street where we saw lots of disgusting things that were about to be eaten like: dog,shark,pigeon,snake,lizard,frog,ducklings,octopus,starfish,seahorse,cow guts/intestines,scorpions,kittens,bugs and so on.

Wednesday-
What we had all been waiting for......THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We were all jumping out of our socks it was so cool. we arrived after a long bus ride but I am so glad we sat in that bus or around 2 hours as just from the window the wall looked AMAZING. We hopped out o the bus an were all taking photos at any chance possible, we went to the toilet then got ready for the journey up to the top. It was a slow, very hot and tiring staircase up. we had 5 long, steep and quite scary staircases to climb until we got to the end of our goal. At the end of every staircase was a pagoda like thing at at the back of every pagoda started another staircase. I am so glad I did get to the top in the end for I think it is a big life accomplishment. those who got to the top got medals with there names engraved on them, myself being one of them. we did the Ju Yong part of the great wall-what a life memory. After the Great wall we went to a nice smelling restaurant were we had Beijing sauce noodles (alright) and padtai (absolutely amazing). Once we all finished lunch e shopped or a little bit then hopped on the bus again to go to the Changling Ming tomb. The Changling Ming tomb is the tomb of the first Ming emperor, emperor Zhu di. I thought it was amazing, the buildings had so much detail and meaning. After we had finished at the Changling Ming tomb we got caught up in some shopping at some local bargaining stalls that we ended up staying at for more then an hour. When we finished there we were all so tired and worn out that we had dinner and went straight back home to bed.

Thursday-
This morning we went straight to one of Beijing's railway stations and caught a bullet train to Tian Jin. The bullet rain went so fast though it did not feel like it. It took us 20 minutes by bullet train to get to Tian Jin but if we were to take the bus it would of taken about 2 hours. When we arrived in Beijing we went for a short walk straight to Florence town, which is a replica of the actual Florence town in Italy. It was so beautiful, there were wonderful flowers on the balconies, gondolas floating down the river, divine bridges and lots and lots of shops. after Florence town we went to food street which has a large variety of Chinese treats and snacks of all sorts and that is here we had lunch. our main course for lunch were Boas and they were delicious and so tasty. Once we had finished up at lunch our bus took us to culture street which is a huge street of people selling things in small bit an bob shops. I bought something for my older sister there, it was a golden turtle for 8 Yuan. culture street was really amazing and interesting. After culture street we started the long,slow descend back home where we had dinner then all went to sleep after yet another tiring day.

=Friday-=

When we woke up on Friday morning everyone was getting their bags packed and ready to leave the hotel. At 11 am we all brought our bags on to the bus and then clambered on ourselves ready for another fun day. The first place the bus took us to were the Olympic stadiums. They were so cool and so huge, the structures of them were brilliant and all the little details to make it look good but also stand up were awesome. We spent a while walking around the Birds Nest and Water Cube (Olympic Stadiums). They were so cool and we took loads of photos. After the Birds nest and Water cube we had a short walk to this big building and at the bottom of the building was the Old Beijing move up. It is the longest painting in the world, the painting is reflected on to the screen and every single person or thing is moving and they don't ever repeat their actions. After Old Beijing move up we went to have lunch then made our way to the Summer Palace. We didn't spend a very long time at the summer palace because everyone was so tired but we did get to see a bit of it and learn lots of new things. Did you know that the first Ming emperor, emperor Zhu di ordered the Summer palace to be built for his mother so she could live a long life. Then we went for dinner at a nice restaurant with dead fish in tanks, once we had finished dinner we went to Xuishui Market where we were walking around for ages buying stuff and bargaining for things, I found it really fun. After the market we hopped on the bus for a long bus ride to the airport where we hopped on our plane and flew up, up and away to Singapore.

=26/7/13= Welcome back to school and it already feels like we have done so much. One of the lessons I have loved this week was my history lesson on Thursday when we were searching up stuff about places in China, I learnt about the Great wall and that it is 8,851.8 Kilometres long. I also learnt about the Ming tombs which is where all the Ming emperors are buried and the Birds nest and Water cube (Olympic stadiums). Next week we are going to go to china for school camp and I can not wait, it is really exciting, today we found out what groups we are in and I get to be with Mrs. Wooley, Georgia, Sarah, Hugo and Zac. This is our timetable for when we are in China. =17/06/13 - Term Reflection=

This term has been truly wonderful and I have had lots of fun classes and learnt lots of new things. One of my favourite English lessons this term was when we were writing our choice persuasive texts and I chose to write about how people shouldn't use animal skins for fashion, I really like writing persuasive texts because I like debating and arguing. In math my favourite thing we learnt this term is a special way of doing times tables called lattice multiplication which is really easy once you get the hang of it. What you have to do is make a box and put as many small boxes in as you need and then times each number together and write the numbers in the box where the lines are, after that you add up the numbers on the angles and write it down the bottom to give you your answer.

In music this term we have been preparing for our music assessments which are going to be Tomorrow, what we had to do was practice a piece of music either by our self or in a group, I am doing it by myself because no one else in the class plays violin. i am excited about Tomorrow's music test because I think it will be fun. my favourite History lesson this term was when we got to research about someone who helped shape Australian history, i did Caroline Chisholm and learnt that she fought or women rights and that when she came to Australia saw that many women were being mistreated, so she stood up or them and got the government on her side, she took charge of an Immigrants Hostel and renamed it "Female Immigrants Home." After that she made sure that all female immigrants got jobs or were put into families that would look after them.This term in technology I really liked learning about the website Scratch which helps you make games, I find it really fun but it can sometimes be quite diffucult. We began learning about scratch at the start of term but now I have the hang of it. Every now and again we had some specal experts come in to teach us more about it. My favorite game that I have made is my multi-player horse racing game. here it is!!! media type="custom" key="23331012" In my Mandarin class we have been learning about animals on a farm, places, things, sicknesses and feelings. We had our tests 2 weeks ago and I got the results today and I did really well and am very happy with my results. In science we have been learning about light, how light travels, reflection and refraction, transparent, translucent and opaque, the eye and how it works, light sources (Natural and man made) and circuits. I really enjoyed learning about the eye and made a learning piece about the eye and how light travels, today we shared them with the year 4 children, it went very well. we got to choose what we wanted to make our teaching tool on and I chose to do it on scratch. here is my science project..... media type="custom" key="23331032" This term in art we were focused on towers and turrets, for our final project this term we had to do an art piece on towers and turrets in a city as well as shades, tints and tones. We needed to pay attention to where the sun might be in a picture and make sure the buildings closer to the sun were lighter than the ones further away.I finished all my buildings today but still have my background to do.



PE this term has been fun, out topic was soccer and we learnt the basic tips like shooting, dribbling, passing, defending and so on. We had PE with the year 6 class and each week we would swap teachers. at the end of every lesson this term we would normally have a short match and split up into 2 or 3 teams and verse each other which I always thought was very fun. Health this term was disrupted a bit because of NAPLAN but than we filled in the classes very well, we were learning about selfesteem and media body image, also peer pressure which is when your peers might sometimes tell you to do something you can't or don't want to do. Peer pressure can be positive and negative. = = = This term has been really fun and it is definitely one to remember. =

=14/06/13= Today in technology we learnt how to make a 3D star on Microsoft office and how to save it as a picture. This is my 3D star, I think it is really cool!!!!!!!!!!! It is really easy to do, all you need to do is continue over lapping your 3D star but each time make it smaller. When we did the stars we had to copy off the instruction sheet but the instructions are really old so we had to work it out ourselves.

=**12/06/13**= This week was really cool, we had swimming lessons all week during our middle session and they were really fun. In my group was Lara, Paris, Oliver.C, Nick, Angus, Lachlan (Year 5), Ashley and Isaac (Year 6). I really like my group because everyone is really fun. Our teacher is Donovan but he was away on Wednesday because he was sick so we had a fill in but I am not sure of his name. In drama we have been doing melodramas an we had to get into groups and write our own melodrama. My group melodrama is called "Bridge Disaster" and I am the hero. We will be performing it on Friday and I am really excited. =**7/06/13**= media type="custom" key="23270602" =**6/6/13**= =**29/05/13**=
 * This week was really fun, we need loads of stuff and learnt lots of new things and had a lot of benchmark tests which are the ones that go into our report. My favourite benchmark so far is the spelling one and the English. I had 3 mandarin assessments oral, comprehension and this other one. My favourite lesson this week was history on Tuesday because Shea and I got to present our history project about the Chinese migration to Australia which was really fun. I also liked all the English lessons when we got to continue our spelling tests or English tests. We also met our new music teacher called Mr. Goh and I think he is really cool. We had him teach our English class this morning because Mrs Houston is away today and we made some music with him for our school musical that is coming up next term.**
 * In history we had to make a prezi about why a migrant group went to Australia in the 19th century. This is mine and Shea's project, hope you like it!!!**
 * This is what we did in technology today.**

=== Today we had our first two Naplan tests, Writing and Language conventions. They are my two favourites, we have reading tomorrow morning, YAY!! I, like a few other people are never sure the order of their favourite colours so I have decided to save myself the time and I have made my list. ===
 * 1. || Blue ||
 * 2. || Purple ||
 * 3. || Pink ||
 * 4. || Green ||
 * 5. || Yellow ||
 * 6. || Red ||
 * 7. || Orange ||
 * 8. || Brown ||

We have 4 tests in NAPLAN; Reading, language conventions, writing and Numeracy. We have been working really hard towards NAPLAN and now the time has finally come. I am ** __// REALLY //__** nervous but I will try my hardest to do my best. **

Hi,
=== This week has been pretty fun. We have done lots of cool things like in history we were put into partners and had to make a prezi on this really cool sight (www.prezi.com) where you make a slideshow sort of thing and you can pick the background and everything. my partner or this project is Shea and we are almost done on our prezi about the Chinese migrating to Palmer river in the 19th century. ===

=== I have made a lot more games on the scratch website, if you search moviemagic you will find them. Right now I am working on a multi player horse racing game it is really cool. my latest game to be uploaded is one called "Off to the ball" It is about a whale who as about to o to a ball but all her clothes and accessories were blown away in the surf competition and you need to help her find them. The stuff you need to find is her lipstick, fake eyelashes, bow, wig and skirt. it took me around a weekend to make this game an I would love for you to play it so here it is. ===

media type="custom" key="23118602" =**11/05/13**= **Today it was the Inter-school Athletics carnival and I competed in four events: High jump, Long jump, 800 meters and 4 by 100 meter relay. I had a lot of fun and got a really bad headache. This week we had an assembly on Tuesday where the choir (myself and some friends) sang for the Australian High commissionaire. Today I created a game on scratch which is a game programming site that is really fun and easy. This is the second game I have made and it is called " The ant who wants his food," I hope you like it!!!** media type="custom" key="23007282"
 * Hey everybody, **

=03/05/13= === This week has been really awesome and I enjoyed it very much, Today I completed my times tables test and don't have to study them daily any more. In English today we had to do a persuasive test to get ready for naplan, we were writing about books and tv. I wrote that books were better for your physical health, imagination and creativity and your knowledge of everything. I had a great week and hope to have more like this one. See you later, From Felicity!!!!!!!!!! ===

**02/05/13** Sorry I haven't been uploading my wikispace for a while, in class lately we have been learning about immigrants to Australia and some of the reasons why they came for instance; Gold rush, Industrial Revolution, Irish famine, Eureka Stockade, Highland clearance and ten pound poms. For our History homework this week we had to do a small project about one of these things and I chose the Highland Clearance which is when the people and families living in the highlands of Scotland were kicked out so they could develop the country by making roads and factories. Lots of them left Scotland and travelled to Australia or America by boat. This is a video I made with my family about the highland clearance. Hope You Enjoy!!!

media type="youtube" key="PEX7urfb3do" width="560" height="315"

**22/03/13**
Our showcase is today and this is what I will be showing my parents. I chose to talk to them about these subjects because I learnt new things in them like Revolution and reflex angles or how to plan a commercial. In Music we learnt how to play the piano and I started making a song to play.

**07/03/13**


This is my History Research of Cleopatra vii, I have been doing this in History for the last three lessons and would like to share it with you, hope you like it!!!!!!!

**04/03/13** Today in technology we were put into to groups and make a survey about cybersafety. My group was Lara, Lucy, Paris and I. media type="custom" key="22360590"

**24/2/13** === In science each student had to pick an animal and research the animals habitat, climate, diet, adaptations, features which help it survive and other bits and pieces, I decided to research a sloth and found out out that the sloth is vulnerable to predators because of its mobility on the ground which means it could be an easy target to predators because of how slow it is on the ground, also that algae grows in the sloth's fur to camouflage them in the tree tops. Did you know that the sloth is a herbivore and only eats leaves, sloth's can also eat stuff that would make other animals starve. This is a video about the sloth which you can watch to learn more, it is by Attenborough from BBC. Hope you Enjoy!!!!!!!! === media type="youtube" key="ndMKTnSRsKM" height="315" width="560"

=media type="custom" key="22256330" In class we have been learning about leadership skills and what makes a great leader. = . =20/2/13= === Today in History we learnt about Mary Reibey who is the lady on the Australian twenty dollar note, she was a convict in Australia because she stole a horse when she was 13, she got married at 17 to James Reibey and they had seven children by the age of 33 when James died and Mary became an individual woman who set up many cities and schools, she was also the governor of the Sydney boys Grammar. She died in 1855 ===
