This is our first week of mordialloc experience and its been fun so far, we have had lots of fun activites but my favourite was the bridge building task.
What we had to do was to make a bridge to hold a bucket of golf balls out of straws,newspapper and tape so I got my group together witch had me humey(Adam Hume) and Matt c first we put 4 colums of 12 straws together and taped them up and hoped it would hold....................we were wrong it couldn't even stand up byitself we had only had 10 mins left so we stuffed as much newspapper together and hoped for the best.
Mr Ellul came around with the bucket he put the bucket on SUCCESS it diddnt fall over he put 1 golf ball in it still diddnt fall over we thought we were gonna win this...............we were wrong he put 1 more golf ball in and it fell apart we were devistated we went on to come second last and got no points.

Mordialloc Experience: - Our first few days.
On Monday 2nd the first group of year 9’s for 09 set foot in the Mordi experience room. We were all excited about what we were going to do the first thing we go to know each other and learnt what to expect from the Mordialloc experience.
Then in groups we had to build bridges out of newspaper, straws and masking tape. The groups then competed to see whose could hold the most golf balls my group (Red tag team) won after holding 140 golf balls.
On Tuesday we had a quiz on how well we knew the Mordialloc experience teachers, there were 50 images with 10 relating to each teacher, Mr Ellul, Ms Coombs, Mrs Ip, Mr Palfrey and Mr Shanahan, we then had to guess with images related to which teachers. After that we went on a scavenger hunt throughout the school, we had to collect information like a word with 15 or more letters and its meaning to teachers signatures to bugs.
Today we did the bottle wise program where two representatives spoke about alcohol and the problems the drinking can cause. We also did activities that related to decision making and risk assessment these activities were a lot of fun and everyone enjoyed themselves.

These three days we played team building games and had a quiz on our teachers. We made a straw bridge out of straws, newspaper, and sticky tape. Our straw bridge held about 69 golf balls. We came 3rd out of 6 groups. The second day, Mr Shanahan, Mr Palfery, and Mrs Ip came in and did activities with us. On the 3rd day the alchohol people came in to teach us about the troubles of alchohol. We played a ball game for them to remember our names. Stephanie got hit by a ball, which was REALLY funny. These three days were fun. Im still laughing about it now.

On the first Wednesday at the mordialloc experience we had two people come in from a program called 'Task Force' to teach us about alcohol and the different effects it has on your body.
We did a few different games like have you ever and a desicion game.
It was interesting to listen to because I learnt a lot of interesting facts.

IT expo for girls!
What a day! The girls got together and went out to 'Deakin University' in Burwood. They were amazed at all the action that happens on the university campus. We saw bands, won prizes, collected freebies and got to talk to a range of people about the kinds of courses that are available at 'Deakin'.
We spent the morning in a lecture theatre listening to a number of speakers who talked about their jobs working with IT. We discovered that there are so many areas in which IT can be used. The police force, animation, cartooning, gaming, telecommunication just to name a few.
One of the speakers talked about her life, which involved working from home, travelling around the world and meeting lots of exciting people.
During the lunch break our girls visited the IT expo and enjoyed the free lollies and giveaways, and who could forget the rocking band that blew our socks off!
A great day was had by all!
