5 /6 Exploring Sydney

1. 5/6 Exploring Sydney By Jessica S, Shay-lee, Erin and Paige

2. The Outline On the 9th and 10thof September 5 and 6 went on a journey to Sydney. We went to Parliament House, The Rocks, Darling Harbour, Chinatown, Imax, The Hyde Park Barracks, Manly, Harbour Bridge and the zoo. It was fantastic fun and we all enjoyed it!

3. The Accommodation The Accommodation we stayed in was the Y hotel, Hyde park. The rooms were small but cosy, Just what we needed for a good’s night sleep. Ha, Ha as if only two kids stayed in their room the whole night, besides the ones on floor 5. The rooms had four beds in a line, a wardrobe and a locker. Breakfast at the hotel included toast, cereal and juice

4. Four Seasons When we boarded the harbour bridge we got a dose of the four seasons in a half hour crossing. First we got bright sunny weather, then gale force winds, then a dose of hard cold hail, finally we got a load of torrential rain. This is the view from the Harbour Bridge

5. Parliament House As we approaches State Parliament House we could tell it was going to be quite fancy and very quiet inside and guess what we were right. As we walked in we met our local member Mr Greg Piper who said he would love to visit our school. We were then led into the gallery where there was lots of bantering between teams.

6. Hyde Park Barracks The Wyee school 5/6 troupe got a very educational and memorable tour around Hyde park barracks At Hyde park barracks we saw the original sand stone buildings. That the convicts constructed. We also got the experience of what it is like to lay in the hammocks, the hammocks are replicas of the real things. The convicts weren’t aloud to play poker so they hid the cards and their belongings under the floorboards. Rats also stole their belongings.

7. $Manly$ Walking around manly beach and manly corso shopping centre with freedom going through our heads was great fun. At manly beach we had lunch which contained of a sandwich a piece of fruit, a cake and a drink of juice. At the shopping centre we were allowed to walk around and buy whatever we wanted with the money we bought from home!

8. Whizz, whoa, wow! Hyde Park Barracks That’s what it was like at the Imax theatre, We saw Hubble 3D, The whole group was ducking, reaching, grabbing as things popped out of the screen. Hubble was about a space telescope and all of its problems.

9. !yum! What should I chose, That looks nice, no that looks better! The Chinese restaurant we went to had loads of variety, from white rice to roast duck. All children were ‘stuffed’, when we were walking back to the hotel at around 8:00pm in the pouring rain.

10. Extra Extra Read All About It! We also went to the art gallery, That was definitely something we didn’t expect to do. At Taronga zoo, We had our final dinner at Sydney which included a BBQ dinner of Sausages, pasta and salad. The Original plans were to walk around Darling Harbour, then go to Chinatown, but it was pouring rain so we went to Imax theatre then to Chinatown. We also went on a ferry called Narrabeen we had heaps of fun on the ferry as we cruised over the glistening water.
