Adventure to Coburg High School
Last Wednesday, the Grade Fives and Sixes went to Coburg High School. We had an amazing day! We walked along the Merri Creek to get there. It was a beautiful walk. Some of the Grade Sixes even ran into their older siblings!
Some of the Year Sevens helped us out with navigating around the school. We were split into 4 groups and got to attend 3 different classes. The groups went to either Art, Humanities, Science or Drama.
In Art, we made an artwork called Neurographic art. We made an organic looking squiggle and shaded where the points joined. Then we painted watercolour in the lines.
After the first session we all went out to the canteen for our first break. There were loads of delicious foods like pizza, cheese pies and brownies. After the first break, we went to our second class.
In Humanities, we studied what school was like in the 1820s, 1910s, 1960 and today. We took notes about how schools have changed over time.
In Drama, we played lots of different games like ‘Spaghetti’, where you make a circle and take turns walking in the middle with a different style each time. Some people did ‘surprised’, some did ‘happy’ and some did ‘sad’. It all was incredible and a fun experience! After ‘Spaghetti’, we played ‘Forks and Knives’. For this game, you walk around normally and one person yells out an object and how many people it needed. For example, for ‘cutlery’, we needed two people - one person would be the fork, and one person would be the knife. If you were last or did not get it right, you're out. We also found out that next year Coburg HS will be doing a play called ‘Back to the 80s’. When we found out we were all really excited!
In Science class, we made elephant toothpaste and slime. We also patted a lizard called Regina who had funny stickers on her enclosure.
After our last session, we had one more break where there was a sea of Calipos from the canteen! Everyone had a sweet treat before we left. On the way back, we stopped at a park with a big oval and castle playground. We had lots of fun playing, learning, acting and learning about high school.
