Last week, our Year 5M and 5/6J classes went to the Gold Rush Eureka Excursion at Beenleigh. Judging by the slideshow below, the day was thoroughly enjoyed by students and teachers alike and will no doubt become a fixture in the History curriculum in the coming years. The following feedback was given by students:
"The activities we did were exciting and interesting. It was fun to put up tents which is how the people in the gold fields used to live. We had a gold hunt. It was fun to find pieces of gold to bring back and trade for money. Some children were sent to jail for running and not having a gold licence. Some children were caught by the bushranger and either had to give him their gold or go to gaol. We panned for gold and used all the gold mining tools. We also role played in the general store and made damper. All in all, it was a great day!"
