Global Classroom: P5 Perth, Australia Immersion Programme: June 2012

Day 5 - Back to Perth City ... our last day!

Daybreak @ the Farm

Piping hot eggs and toasted bread for breakfast ...

Off to tour the farm on the open truck ...

Farm host, Robin, stopped by to share with the pupils about the farm ...

Robin explained how wheat and barley is harvested in the farm ... and how the unwanted portion is made into square or round bales of hay ...

Riverlites had a chance to climb up the bales of hay ... They had great fun!

All of us made it!

Before leaving the farm, let's take a group photo ...

After the 2 hours ride from the farm to the city, we finally reached our lunch destination ... while waiting, let's write down our learning into our tour booklets!

Lunch arrived for our halal pupils from the nearby halal restaurant ...

Lunch was finally served for the rest of us!

Let's help ourselves to the food!

Swan Bell Tower

Talk and demonstration of the ringing of bells in the tower...

Let's have a try at ringing the bells ... It's not so easy afterall!

This is where the bells are located ... when you pull the ropes, the respective bells will ring!

We had reached the top! Let's take a photo again! (Background - Swan River)

The oldest bell in the tower ...

Group photo with the Swan Bell Tower

We left Swan Bell Tower and proceeded to Harbourtown for our final purchase of souvenirs ...

Dinner @ D'Nonya

Tantalising cuisine ... couldn't wait to start eating...

After a satisfying dinner, the team made our way to the local marts ... Kmart, Coles, Big W and Woolsworth ... then off to the airport for check-in ... So fast, 5 days just flew by and it's time to go home! Bye, Perth!

Arrival @ Belmont Primary School

We were just in time for their monthly morning assembly!

Touring round the premise of Belmont Primary ...

Mrs Waters shared on the extensive recycling efforts of the school in recycling many different types of items and how they separate them by using different containers to hold them.

Our Riverlites were very privileged to have a chance to enter into the classrooms of all the various grades in the school, even to the pre-primary classroom.

A kitchen!! Let's explore and take more photos .. hmm ... can we have one in Rivervale?

The bell of the school ... It's the signal of break time whenever a student leader rings the bell.

Interaction time with the Year 4/5 pupils of the school ... Circle of Friendship!

It's recess time!!! Time to grab a bite & have some fun!!!

A game of football with the Belmont pupils during recess!

In the meantime ... at the other end of the school, the press was taking shots of our Riverlites (Chantel & Lucian) with the Belmont pupils to be published in the local papers!
