Our GiggleCritters
Our Country
Australia is an island nation and the smallest continent. It is located in the Southern Hemisphere, near Asia and New Zealand.
Parts of our country are very green, but other parts are dry and brown. Our country is separated into 6 states and 2 Territories. We have the largest reef called the Great Barrier Reef.
Our Town
Roleystone is in the hills of Perth, called the Darling Ranges. We have lots of trees which is nice, but they create a fire hazard in the dry summer months. We have many orchards, growing oranges, peaches, apples, nectarines and other fruit. It is a friendly community.
Our School
Our school goes from Kindy to Year 5. Our school is 104 years old. Our school has a pet farm with guinea pigs, chickens, finches and ducks. We feed the animals our food scraps and collect the eggs from the chickens and use them in our canteen. Our Deputy takes us out for Footy games. We have a choir that sings on many public occasions at big events. Our school is surrounded by beautiful bush areas to play in. We speak English and we learn Indonesian at school.
About Us
We have 32 children in each Year 5 class. The Year 5s have a buddy class with the Year 1s. We look after the sport-shed at recess and lunchtime, the pet farm, the flag, ring the siren and do the announcements and swap each term. We like to paint, and do other art-work. Some Year 5s are involved in Radio Kookaburra which broadcasts through the radio in the school. Room 17 recently won the 'Golden Book' prize for library. We will be going to camp in October for a week.
