Year 5 History Panel

This semester year five have been learning about the colonisation of Australia and the impact it had on many people. We were given the task to write an oral presentation on a randomly given individual that had a significant contribution to the history and colonisation of Australia. Some of these people included Arthur Phillip, Charles O Connor, Mary Rieby, Charles Sturt, James Cook and Bungaree.

Last week, we invited the Year 6’s to come and listen to the engaging speeches presented by Year 5. Two people were afterwards invited to ask a question to the speaker about their talk or person. The presenter was given the choice to speak from first person or third person and we gained lots of new and interesting information from the speeches.
