Matraville Hall of Fame

On the first day that we were at Matravile High School we dug a hole through time and became archeoligst for the day. We found many artifacts such as necklaces, bones, clay pots and clay figures.

On one of our days, when we came to matraville, our teacher showed us how to measure the distance of a route we chose, to walk around Taronga zoo.

The second day we came to Matraville, we did an IT quiz in the library to test our knowlege of computer vocabulary. We had 2 teams and my team won.

When we went to maths we tried to figure out codes . We did the alpha bet but we did it opposite you can do a code by chnging the alphabet a little.  We used the codes to make secret words and had to work out what the words were.

One of the days at matrville we went into a wood work room and we had to draw lines on these wooden knitting tools. Then we went into another room and we had to start carving the top of them. Then when we had finished carving the top we started to sand it to make it smooth. After that we painted them to make them look good
