Term three week two. For my first camp year 5 went to Sovereign Hill. It was about a two and half hour drive (which was loud). Me and Keira sat next to each other. One thing that I didn’t know was that in the 1850’s you needed a mining licence in order to mine for gold. My favourite part of camp was doing the school program. I like doing that because work in the 1850’s was way more gripping and fun. Wether when I do work in 2019 it’s boring.
Some emotions I felt during the school program was when the teacher brought out the cane and started threatening us. When the teacher did that I felt a little bit scared. To make this program better I wouldn’t change anything because when I did the school program I actually felt like I was in the 1850’s.
I had such a good time at Sovereign Hill. I hope that you will visit Sovereign Hill and try to do the school program. I bet you would have as much fun as I did.
Hi Millie
I really liked your blog post and all of the information you put in it, another thing that made it better was the photos you put in it. However I like 2019 work more than 1850 work because I find 2019 work less strict and easier.

Hi Millie. I really enjoyed reading your blog post on camp. It was very interesting and I liked how you wrote all about what we did. Also, I liked that you mentioned Ma’am threatening us with the cane.

Hi Millie,
Your blog post was very informative and I’m sure you loved sovereign hill as much as I did. I think the experience was real and you showed that. I am glad you had a good time and I hope that you enjoy your next camp. Your clothes that you dressed up in were very cool.
How did you think the experience was?

Hi Millie,
How lucky were you to have your first camp at Sovereign Hill! You’ve written a detailed post about your time there. Next time, try to ask a question at the end of your post to help invite conversation with the reader.
I’m very curious … why did you think the 1850s school work was better than the 2019 school work? I’m very surprised by that comment!
Happy blogging,
Miss Davidson.
Hey Millie,
Great post! I really liked how you described what you were thinking and feeling. By the way, the humour thoughout your post was hilarious! It gave your post something special and gave it a character. You used great descriptive words and it payed off.
What did you like learning in the schools program and what didn’t you like?
From Grace
Hi Millie!
I really liked your blog post about Sovereign Hill! I had so much fun too. My favourite part was also the school program, I thought that it was so fun how we could dress up in to 1850s clothes and learn how they use to learn, my favourite part that we did at school was writing in the copper plate handwriting, sewing, and learning the Irish. Great job!
