You Made It!

Congratulations Year Five!

I could not be more proud of the effort and time that each and every one of you has donated to this unit of work. 

Your Festival was a success and I am disappointed that I could not actually be there, joining in on the fun! Not only was your Festival a success, but you have raised numerous funds for a very worthy charity - The Queensland Floods. 


Good luck with your future studies and I hope to work with you all again soon!

I hope that your unit is well underway, and that you are enjoying the process. Here is a quick example of a diorama.

When you have created your diorama, your classroom teacher will select 10 dioramas to be published onto this blog. Please comment of the ideas and diversity of the wonderful dioramas and offer your opinion! 


*Remember to always be polite and courteous.


Thanks and talk soon,

Podcasting - Listen, Learn and Share

Hello again to you all,


I know that you have learnt a lot about the culture and traditions of the Festivals via a podcast. Now here is your chance to create a podcast of your own, and post it to the blog for everyone to listen to. Please see the podcast that was created for you in the 'exemplars' section of the Wiki.


Hints and Tips:
- Speak slowly and clearly
- Have information already planned and sequenced
- Use expression in your voice

Good luck to everyone, enjoy the process!
