Year 5 Canberra Excursion

At the super early hour of 6am on 6 June, Year 5 went to visit the Nation’s Capitol. We drove for a very long time to Parliament House where we saw the Senate and the House of Representatives. It was interesting to compare the new parliament house with the old. The Old Parliament House is very reminiscent of the British Parliament buildings, but the new one reflects the Australian identity and features of our unique land.
On the second day we were up early again to visit a museum of natural history, AIS, Electoral Commission, High Court of Australia and the War Memorial. Everyone had a great time at Questacon on the third day and returned to our families exhausted but enlightened on 8 June. We would like to say a huge “Thank you!” to our marvellous teachers, Mrs Johnson, Mrs Keating, Mrs Stapley, Mrs Hermann, Mrs Faber, Mr Fletcher, Miss Woodbury for taking us away and teaching us so much!
