Candle to Quartz clock

When Mrs McLeod comes into the classroom for the day we start off by learning about Clocks and Time measurement or something.We have been learning about Way back when clocks weren't invented they used to use the sun the moon and the stars as clocks .So when the sun came up the people would get up and when the sun went down and the Moon came up they would go to bed so they could have gone to bed at six o'clock if they wanted to that's a little strange (:

Halswel Quarry

On Tuesday this week we went to Halswell Quarry. We went in cars .My Mum helped by bringing her car. We took Nicole.P , Chontelle and Mikayla . When we got there we met under some trees and had morning tea. Then we could run around and do whatever . There was a big steep hill there and everyone was going up the hill and then running down.
Then morning tea was over , we went class by class up the track to see views, and facts along the way. We went higher and higher everytime and the views were getting better all the time.Then we started going down hill it was fun cause every so often there was a really steep bit you could pretty much slide down and then skid at the end.Finally we got to the bottom we went to the single mens house . There were alot of old things some of us even got a picture taken of us in the bath!. Then we went back for lunch and after lunch we had a play around and then we had to do environmental art. Me and Mikayla made a stick girl made out of pine cones and logs and bark and leaves. Then we went back and then we had to go home my mum took us back to school but I went home early.
