A massive well done to Year 5 who out-did themselves on Wednesday for Australia Day! We had 'I'm a celebrity' contestants, Steve Urwin, crickters, Outback Rangers and beach dudes and dudettes!
We made Didgeridoos with lots of Aboriginal symbols and designs! Whilst listening to some traditional Australian music...Rolf Harris and Men at Work of course!
Miss Byrne helped us to made Crackle Cakes, which are the Australian version of Rice Crispy cakes! We mixed rice crispies, marshmellows, sultanas and smarties and melted chocolate together! Miss Howson is never going back to normal crispie cakes she loved them so much!
Then after all that excitement we had a snack of juice and chocoalte muffins whilst we watched a little bit of 'Finding Nemo' since that is an Australian movie all about the Great Barrier Reef and Sydney! Then we trooped down to the ICT room and created some Aboriginal Dot Art Pictures! It was a fantastic day and everyone enjoyed themselves! If only we could have Australia Day every week!
For all the photos, see the gallery!

Australia Day looks like it was a huge success. I am disappointed I missed the crackle cakes!! Y5 seem to be really enjoying finding out about Australia and producing some fabulous work - good on yer, mates!
