Last week the year fives went on a camp to Sovereign Hill which everyone loved.
One thing that I learned that I did not know before was how to write in copperplate which is basically the way that people wrote in the 1850s.
My favourite part of camp was panning for gold because we had the chance to get some.
I used the Carey PLA of Curiosity in the school program when we had to Draw all of the different shapes and designs in the drawing book.
To enhance the program I would see if the teacher would pretend to smack us with the whip if we got ink on our hands.
What did you enjoy most about camp?
Greetings Master Zac,
Lovely blog post about your time at Sovereign Hill. I like the way you have used paragraphs to space out your writing and used an image. The image helps the reader see the kind of clothes you wore when you were pretending to be in the 1850s.
In answer to your question, I really enjoyed the school program because it was very interesting to see what life for school children (and teachers) was like in the 1850s.
Keep up the great blogging,
Mrs Jones (aka Miss Davidson)

Hi Zac,
I also learnt that people used to write and Coper Plate back in the 1850s, to me it was so hard, imagine writing that 24/7!
I really like how your post wasn’t too detailed but gave us a good understanding of what Sovereign Hill was like. Really great job and keep up the great blogging!
