I was in Mordi experience this term and I had lots of fun, especially going into the city everyday. I loved all of the places we visited, like the Eureka Tower, Melbourne Aquarium, Vic Market, Melbourne Museum and much more. I found the first week more fun because it was all new to me and the places we visited were fun. When we went to the Eureka Tower, we got to go out on the glass box. That and the scavenger hunt were the highlights for me.

Paris' poem:

There once was a girl named Paris

who moved to Mordiallocshe transferred straight to MEX

made some lovely friends

and went to the City experience.

From day 1 she made a clean slate

and instantly improved her grades

and as hard as she could, she worked

and got the grades she deserved.

In the city they caught a train

through the sunshine and the rain

Met some fellow trainers who were strange

and tried to stay away.

Off they went to Eureka Tower

on top of the world, they felt the power.Q

Queen Vic Market shopping spree, Melbourne's MCG

and off to the state Library.

Aquarium, Museum and Fed Sqaure, getting fast food on the way there

they saw Melbourne in a whole new way.

On their Scavenger hunt the second day.

Pizza at Lygon Street for their last day there

they automatically pigged out in despair felt sad

they were finished in the city dreamand scoffed down their ice-cream.

Their project board was looking great

and their eyes were on that

Athey were to present it, and couldn't wait

and they knew it wouldn't be late.

There once was a girl named Paris

who moved to Mordialloc

and achieved all she wanted

in the Mordialloc Experience.

During our time in the MEX we did lots of interesting projects about our local community.
For example, we did a scavenger hunt down in Mordialloc and had to find landmarks and places, and then mark them on a map. We also visited the creek and beach and took samples of the water to see the quality of the water. We noticed that the water was contaminated and filthy because of the rubbish and pollution in our bays.
We did a really interesting activity that involved putting together a shopping list with a budget of 50 dollars. We went down to the local supermarkets and learnt that money does fly!

Over the last two weeks our group went into the city and discovered new things and places. We went on heaps of excursions, for example we went to the top of the Eureka tower and went out onto the glass box overlooking the city. The view was incredible.
We also went to the Old Melbourne Jail which was scary. An interesting fact I learnt was that four women out of 135 people were hung due to the fact they were considered to be too beautiful.
Each group in our class also chose a topic and researched it, for example we chose fashion. We did interviews with people on the street, and took lots of photos.
I hope you have as much fun as I did during the Mordialloc Experience.

ROCK EISTEDDFOD

A few weeks ago I wrote about our experiences during the heats of the Rock Eisteddfod Challenge, and that we had made it through the heats and into the grand final. Well, the grand final was held last night at HiSense Arena. I've got to add that this was our fourth eisteddfod appearance with the current leadership team and after four amazingly exciting, emotional and magnificent appearances on the Rock Eisteddfod stage the Mordialloc team has been recognised for the talent that they have brought to the competition on each occasion and has been awarded first place in the open division.
I witnessed first hand the effort that each person put into these eisteddfod appearances and I am immensely proud of each and every one of you. It is a wonderful experience to have been involved, and something I'm sure we will always remember. GO MORDI.
