3/4 CAMP – SOVEREIGN HILL
Last week 52 grade 3/4 students spent three days in Sovereign Hill. We were blessed with absolutely amazing weather and beautiful sunshine. Students all represented our school with pride and asked lots of interesting questions. Highlights of our time included two underground mine tours, a hilarious pantomime and being able to hold the gold ingot. Students were very successful in their gold panning efforts and we now have a small jar of gold in the 3/4 unit. We learnt that the meaning of Ballarat is ‘Bent Elbow’ because it was a resting place and when you sleep without a pillow on the ground – you bend your elbow to make yourself a pillow. Students were engaged in educational sessions about life on the Goldfields and STEM.
