Day+1

5am - Students on Virgin Blue Flight 1 started arriving at the airport ready for their 6.50am flight to Canberra. Mrs Alessi, Miss Taylor and Ms Talbot were busy marking off the students as they arrived inside the terminal. The excitement in the Virgin Blue terminal was overwhelming!
 * Day 1 - Melbourne Airport **

By 5.30am, Ms Rosa, Mrs Jordan, Mrs Wilson, Miss Griffiths and Mrs Issleib started to line the students up, ready to check in at the Virgin Blue counter. It was then time for the students to say a final goodbye to their parents and head off to the boarding lounge via the security check.

The students on Flight 2 started arriving at the airport by 6.50am all ready for their 8.30am flight. Again, everyone was extremely excited and eager to depart. By looking at some of the large suitcases, we have students who have certainly packed for more than 4 days!


 * MORNING ACTIVITY - National Museum **





What I like so far about Day 1:

I liked all the hands on activities and the tour guides were friendly.Lily

It was a fun tour looking in the Museum. Madelone

We went to the museum and had a good time. We went to Kspace and made a 3D vehicle. We got to watch all of our vehicles in a 3D movie. It was cool. Canberra is so cool so far. Doris

At Parliament House we went to the House of Representatives and the House of Senate. Marco

Today we went to the Black Mountain Tower and I went to the window part, it was HIGH! Jake

Hi, This is a little review of what we have done in Canberra so far. Today my flight left at 8:30. It was a bumpy ride, but eventually, we got there. I felt a little sick afterwards. Anyway, after we got out of the airport, we went to the National Museum of Australia. It was a cool experience and we got to see fossils and skeletons. After that, we went to have lunch. I was starving. When we were done with lunch, we went to Parliament House. First we did a little play about Parliament. I got picked for the main role because of Miss Nayef. After we had finished the play, we had a guided tour. It was interesting, very interesting! When we had finished the guided tour, we hopped on the bus to go to Black Mountain Tower lookout. We were very high up. Right now we are driving to the motel getting ready for dinner! EMILY.

So far today's been really great, but I would have to say the best thing was Black Mountain Tower! Caitlin
