Year 3/4 Minimay Excursion
On Thursday September 12 the Year 3/4 students went on an excursion to the Bank Australia Reserve at Minimay to participate in activities around the environment and cultural indigenous learning.
We went to Minimay and ate bush food and climbed a tree. We also saw Uncle Ron and Uncle Ron threw a boomerang and it hit Mrs H. I had lots of fun when we ate bush food.

Minimay is a great place. You can learn new stuff every day. My class learnt about boomerangs and we met Uncle Ron. We talked about red-tail black cockatoos and aboriginal stories.

Year 5/6 Science - Rockets
In 3rd term, week 5 2019 the Edenhope College 5/6 class started a rocket program in science. The class was split into pairs, my partner was Hunter and we painted our rocket with all sorts of colours then mixed it and scraped of all the extra paint.
When we launched our rocket it flew half way to the clouds and the nose cone popped off and the parachute burst out. Overall it was a really fun project and I would definitely do it again.
