Eureka stockade - First draft

I am learning to write reports. this is my first draft on a report on the Eureka Stockade. ( Mums suggestions and mark ups are in capitals)

The eureka stockade is a important part of Australia's history.The date of the rebellion is the 2nd of december 1854.

The Eureka stockade was in Ballerat,Victoria. The actual stockade was built on baker hill. They mined gold. They called themselves the diggers. (WHAT WAS LIFE LIKE FOR A DIGGER?)

The men came together at about 8 o'clock (WHAT DATE?) and created a distinct place where the men could muster and be drilled. (WHY DID THEY DO THIS? WHAT EVENTS LEAD TO THIS?) There was 10000 diggers.

The battle lasted for 15 mins. WHO WAS IN CHARGE OF THE REBELLION? WHAT WERE THEY HOPING TO ACHIEVE? WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PERSON IN CHARGE?  HOW MANY PEOPLE DIED? HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE IN THE STOCKADE WHEN IT WAS RAIDED?  WHERE WERE EVERYONE ELSE?

The flag was a southern cross with a blue background.

IN THE REPORT OUTLINE IT ASKS YOU TO USE A PICTURE AS WELL. I GAVE YOU A LINK TO A HEAP OF PICTURES TO INSERT. PLEASE GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE LINKS AND INFORMATION.

Book review A fairy princess has been here

In the book it tells you about a little girl called Jamie solving a mystery about  a fairy princess being in her house.

The first clue was that there was sparkles on the floor and only a fairy drops fairy sparkle dust. Then she finds a note that has purple pen writing on it and it says " dear Jamie I love you and don't ever forget it! F.P" and F.P stands for fairy princess.

Next she finds a cup with tea in it and it is proof she's been there.  She finds a box that says my prince and has a bunch of pictures inside it. In the bathroom she finds fairy dust (makeup) and a fairy definitely needs makeup. At last her mum calls her and her mum was going on a date and Jamie gets a baby sitter.

 I would give it a 9/10 I really like this fairy princess story.

Bushrangers - John "black" Caesar. The first Bushranger

John Black Caesar was born on 1763. The reason we know who he is is because he was the first Australian bushrangers. He was also the first African Convict

John 'Black' Caesar was from Africa. he was a servant in Kent before he got caught. His actual name was John caesar but he got a nick name and his nickname was black. 

The reason he ran away was because he was a convict and convicts had to work hard and didn't get much food.

None of his crimes were violent he just stole stuff. 

He was finally captured by the police and shot.

Goldrush in Australia - History lesson

1851 is when the magnificent goldrush began in Australia in Victoria.

The richest goldfields where near Ballarat. People all around the world came to dig for gold, especially the Chinese.

One way miners used to separate gold from dirt and gravel was called panning. 

Today we tried doing it ourselves. We picked up the sand put it in the pan then washed it out and found specks of crystals. There wasn't any gold there.

I think I'm very glad that I'm not doing a job all day everyday. I don't think I'd like it.

Star - my first poem

I have been learning about poems and wrote my own here.  Mum says its really good.

Star

Light bright
in the air
bright my night
send me a wish
looking down
at the world
from high above
like a bird
lofty softly
in the sky


I'm not much good with rhyming but mum said poems don't need to rhyme.
