We are going on camp this week. The year 7 girls had a contest to design the logo for their camp this year and then they got to bring in tshirts, pillow cases or tea towels to screen print. It was a fun activity
Becs and Carrie helpin Nikita with her screen print
Becs doing her own
Edith showing hers off
Alannah and Unique helping Emily
Amalia, Alannah, Megan, Megan and Edith using their work time "wisely"
India and Nikita really using their time wisely :-)
Emma and Kelly (with Megan in the background)
The following are from my year 8 maths class: (it was dress up day that day so a few are not in school uniform)
This weekend I went to my cooperating teacher's house. Her daughter, Miranda, brought me out for the day. First she brought me up to Adelaide Hills and had a look out over the city. It was neat seeing the places that I have been from up high.
Then we went to Cleland Wildlife Park, which is full of Australian animals, most of them wondering around free.
Here is a kookaburra. It scared a bunch of Japanese tourists by landing on someone's plates and stealing some hot chips (aka french fries)
Potoroos were everywhere! Running around the park, jumping out of the bushes. They were pretty cute even though they look like huge rats.
Here's a little wallaby. I tried to get one for Ben but it wouldn't cooperate.
This guy is an echidna. He uses his beak to dig into the ground and eat ants.
These are Cape Barren geese, their beaks are like a fluorescent yellow and they make growling noises.
Here is a real live Tasmanian Devil. He looks a bit different then Taz, but just as scary.
We got to feed and pet the kangaroos.
An albino kangaroo
This one kept doing tricks for us and kept us entertained.
This one was a little baby, not shy at all. 
Check out their hind toes.
These guys are just relaxing and enjoying the afternoon.
They had Koalas there too!
A few Koala facts: They are not bears, they are actually relatives of wombats. They have 3 fingers and 2 thumbs on their front paws. They sleep up to 20 hrs a day and eat the other part. They eat up to 25% of their body weight (around 2-3 lbs) of Eucalyptus leaves a day.
And I got to hold one!!
This ones name is Priscilla and was rescued as an orphan
A pelican and a heron in the background. The heron uses its bill like a spear to stab their prey.
This guy was walking around like this and being mean to the other birds. He wasn't very nice at all.
"Maybe a dingo ate your baby"
Emus are ugly birds they look like they are balding, they are also the worse beggars. They will follow you around and peck at you if they think you have food.
This is a sand goanna
And a real Australian road sign
