Today I was so excited because we went to the War Memorial and there was a room called the Room of the Tomb. Taylor

Today we went to Cockington Green and we went on the train ride with all the kids and parents that wanted to go. The best part of the day was when we went on the train ride and having a party! It was also Mrs Wilson's birthday! Taylah Year 6

Today in Canberra we went to the War Memorial. It was sad when we saw all the people that had died. It was fun when we went in this chopper that survived the Vietnam War and a submarine. We tried on the army uniform and also the navy uniform. I loved the air craft section. It's too bad I didn't see any of the new jets only the old fashion ones. It was so cool. Yianni Group 17

I liked the Dinosaur Museum. We saw the biggest dinosaurs ever! Peanut Butter Jelly Time! Ryleigh

Today, my favorite thing was the War Memorial. I threw 80 cents in the well. Jake

I am having the best time of my life! I'm also missing my family. Deanna 16

Questacon was AWESOME! I went on the Free Fall which was fantastic! Jessica Group 16

CANBERRA is awesome!I love it! I hope everyone has had so much fun! Makaylah Group 16

I loved Questacon especially the roller coaster (FUN!) Everyone is really tired but still happy! Chloe.R GRP 16

I like our last night in Canberra, we ate pillows and parked all night. Tiarn Group 16 (Great story from Tiarn but we are confused about what she is trying to say so any questions about this please refer to Mr Bevis - her father...Parent Helper on the camp)

Canberra is so much fun! I wish I could stay here longer. Mariah Group 10
