Local Experience begins

Term 4 is passing as quickly as it arrived this year, for we are already up to the Local Experience unit: phew!

Today was Mordialloc Monopoly day once again, and as I type this the boys are working away on creating their boards and accessories.

As mentioned, with the class time we have available to us this term, it may be difficult for our boys to complete all of their required elements in class - meaning that homework becomes a more definite option! If any of our students would like some feedback on their work over the weekend, they can email Mr E at Ellul.Jason.L@edumail.vic.gov.au for more information.

On Monday, we move on to the "Let's Go Shopping" task once again; time to "fill" those trolleys! Have a great weekend!

City Romp

What a day! It all started at Federation Square. Our team were ready to Romp with our crazy costumes and sleuth like minds! We were greeted with a sea of people also dressed up and raring to go. We received our page of clues and off we went. Zipping around the city, we answered questions and discovered places we had not yet stumbled upon. We travelled up the 'Eureka' tower and admired the far reaching views, we explored little Bourke street and immersed ourselves in 'China town'. When our time was up, we crossed our fingers, and are still waiting to find out what ranking we came.

Wish us luck!

My group attempted to drop an egg off a 2 story building. We didn’t get outside before the egg broke. Laine and Jake were trying to put the egg in the balloon when it cracked, we bandaged it up with tape and cotton balls. We then proceeded to wrap it in paper and sow the edges together. It could have worked but Laine got us disqualified by catching our egg. Next time we will follow the instructions and give ourselves a better chance of winning!

On Tuesday we went into our group and we did the egg dropping activity. we made a design of it and then went outside. shakeel dropped it from the balcony and it survived the first round. when it was near the bottom it popped on the Secord round. I dropped it and it cracked and the egg did not survive the Secord round!

On Tuesday 07/10/08 we did the egg drop activity we made design and Stewart, Michael and I assemble it. The first round the aim was to the land the egg on the garden bed and we did but the balloon popped. On the second round the aim was to land the egg on the concrete our egg did not survive!

Casey Says:

On my first week of mordi experience we did many exciting activities, which include quizzes, scavenger hunting, carpet bowls, bridge building and egg dropping. The bridge building and dropping the egg was my favourite. First we had to make a design of the bridge that we were making and then make it. It had to withstand a tub of golf bowls or more tubs of golf bowls if it was strong enough and the more points you get. Next we did egg dropping and it involved building a contraption to protect the egg from the ground. Some people had hot air balloons styles to make the egg hover. We had to use a balloon, string, sticky tape and an egg. Once we had finished our designs we went over to the balcony we had to drop it over the edge and hoped the egg didn’t break and to really test the egg. We went over to a stretch of cement and tested it. One broke and two survived, our experience so far has been an enjoyable.
