Bushfires!


Fire is one element that shapes the Australian environment to make it unique compared to other environments around the world. It can also have a devastating effect on communities, and is something that needs to be understood and managed.

A starting point for our project was gaining an understanding of what fire is and the elements that contribute to a fire burning. A fire needs three elements to burn effectively:



We then investigated the geographical processes that occur that occur to contribute to a Bushfire. A geographical process is a process that humans and physical forces combine to shape a particular environment. An example of this would be houses that are built very close to a forest.




The task was then to research about a bushfire that occurred in the Australian environment. The students needed to investigate the following questions:




The students created a presentation in Google Slides. Here are some great examples of the student's work:
















Upon reflection, the students produced high-quality work and showed how much they had learned about researching and referencing for a project. Each student reflected upon what they had learned by answering a number of questions:

What was your understanding of Bushfires and fire before you studied this topic?


My understanding of bushfires was that a fire can/could be caused by a heat wave or done deliberately.


What problems did you encounter while you were working on this project? How did you solve them?


A problem I had was that I had to put the information in my own words, I solved the problem by asking a friend to help me change the sentence


What process did you go through to produce this piece?


I first started by researching about my bushfire. I then moved on to set up my google slides. Then I put all of my information on the google slides after I finished I then turned it into google classroom


How do you feel about this project? What parts of it do you particularly like? Dislike? Why? What did/do you enjoy about this project or work

I feel that I learnt a lot about bushfires about them, how they start and spread. I liked how that I now know the harm a bushfire can have on the community



What did you enjoy the most about this project? What else would you like to learn?

Creating and making with textiles

This term, we have been looking at using textiles as a medium for creativity. Using wool or natural fibres to create something wearable is an ancient art. Some of the best memories that I have, when growing up was of creating felt and dyeing fabrics. This was the inspiration for the project for my Creativity project. After approaching our agricultural department for some raw alpaca fleece, the first step was to was this very dirty fleece. This was dirty, but a lot of fun! After it had dried, we dyed the wool and then felted it. The felting process takes a lot of work, hot water and soap. It requires the wool to be placed into a tea towel after it was carded to get rid of the rest of the dirt. There was a lot of enthusiasm to have a go. Rubber gloves were essential to protect little hands! This took much longer than anticipated so we have used purchased felt to make our creations The next step was to learn to sew using a needle and thread. To help this pro
