• Explain different historical interpretations

1. The Bookseller’s Apprentice (Excerpts) - Amelia Mellor (LittleScribe) 
2. Marvellous Melbourne - Web-Site

To launch our inquiry this term, we’ll be heading on an excursion to explore the many stories of the city. If you're available, we'd really appreciate your help with supervision. We are planning to leave the morning of Wednesday, 20th. Please get in touch with your child’s teacher if you can assist.
