day1 hi everyone we arrived in Wombana at around 12. we then unloaded are stuff and had lunch. after lunch we were given the grand tour they showed us the shed, the oval, the path we would take on our run, the compost bins, the water tanks,the wardlis, hotel Hilton(the area under cover were you can eat out side and sleep if you have to or are being punished) and the classroom area. there we sat for a long time being told what to think about, all the rules and lots of other important stuff. then finally after all that waiting we found out which wardlis we would be in I'm in wardli 4 with Erin, Lucia, Sara, Charlotte and Yin Yin. we then went off to organise to who would do what when and all the rules we would have in our wardli. we then had free time where we unpacked and chill out time where we sat in different places and do stuff like read books, draw, do stuff in our journals and squash all the bugs that crawl on are books. after we had a BBQ dinner and now we are witting our blogs. nothing much has really happened yet we only just setteled in but it will start happening soon. stella

day2 hi its day two and to day is our shopping day after much planing figuring out what food was better for the environment and cheaper we wrote a list and went to the shops. we spent ages trying to find the right things and we went mainly for the cheaper foods. in the end we figured out we had at least $80 left over so we got some random things we just wanted. we then went home and had lunch. the sun was in the sky and we really wanted to go to the beach so we got in the bus and went. some of us swam and the rest of us played beach cricket. after about and hour we went home and had free time where Charlotte, Lucia and Sara made cookies and me Erin and Lucia ate all the left over cookies.we then had chill out time but tahlia was being swooped but magpies the hole time.we then made dinner but we didn't enough pots and the nannies told us to use the electric fry pan but that was really hard to use. we ate are dinner and went to the classroom and that is where we are now. missing you stella

day4 hi all were have had the a great day today we got to go snorkelling!!!!! even though yesterday it was hot as today it was raining and cold. when we got are wet suits they were sooo tight (the expression on lucia face was priceless). when we got there we put on are wet suits, are head things, are flippers and are googles then we went swimming. we saw zebra fish, star fish, seaweed, sand and rocks. after our snorkel we went to the wind farm and the wind turbines are at least 100meters high.then we got in the bus and went back to have lunch and do are science homework. then we had free time and chill out time. we then had butter chicken, rice and carrots for dinner (yum).

day 7 hi yesterday we had a choice of doing snorkelling or fishing. I wanted to do fishing because we had already done snorkelling. some of us paired up with the four rods we had and the rest got the riles me and yin yin got a rod. yin yin would cast it and I would hold it and real it in. for bate we had little white worms(alive) and cockles(frozen) most of us weret too squwermish about the worms but lucia just had to pick one up but when she got to the tube she couldn't so kate took her hand and put in on and she was saying "get it off get it off get it off" then kate took lucia and her hand to erin were she took it from her. today we when snorkelling and had a bake off but we lost (mainly because we went first and they marked us more harshly I mean we wouldn't have won but what we got was pretty bad and ours tasted great) a few days ago we went shopping to get are food for the week and we filld the troly to the brim and had the fruit and veg in bags hanging off it. we found out that we all like carrots, potatoes, broccoli, apples, water melon and nothing else so we had to find out how much we we needed and we got 15 apples 15 broccoli lots of potatoes and 15 carrots at least we also got half a water melon but the fridge is now full to the brim.

day 8 hey today we went to Hardwicke bay to do some weeding because most of the people in Hardwicke are elderly and can't do the weeding so we weeded the plant other wildy girls planted and some other parks with native plants growing. after we had weeded the ladies at the community hall gave us sandwiches (no one ate the gherkins and cheese) and Ice cream (we all got seconds) we then went to do some more weed before we went back to Wombana. then we did some work had chillout time (in the classroom because it was freezing) and had dinner (sweet chilly chicken with carrots, broccoli and mash potatoes yum!

day 9 (almost half way through) hey whats up today we started with a game we played sardines and hide and seek chasey. then we got on the bus and went the aboriginal school at Point Perce they had 12 kids aged from 4 to 8 and most of them were brothers and sisters. They introduced them selfs and then we went outside to play I and about 8 other girls joint two of the boys (they were about 8) in a game of footy but they were they only ones who new how to play so we just try to do whatever. We they went bake inside to do some beading and skoobies and they we had lunch were we played footy, stuck in the mud, monkiy bars and duck duck goose
