Check out our 4JT students getting to know Spot the Green Tree Frog and Burry the Sugar Glider at Werribbee Zoo (1/09/14). We had a fantastic day (despite the weather) and got an appreciation of just how precious and endangered some of the wildlife are!

Thanks to GL for his outstanding graph below, which clearly represents data showing the rainfall in different African and Australian cities! Feel free to make an observation and comment on the graph!
This (below) is our word wall for our sustainability unit in Term 3 so far. We are looking at sustainability for our planet, focussing on the geographical differences and similarities between the continent of Africa and Australia! Can you suggest any terms we could add to our wall?
Melbourne Is Better Than Cape Town (agree)
Firstly, Cape Town is still divided along racial lines. Melbourne is not. How would you like to be insulted by your skin colour? Well that’s what it’s like to live in Cape Town. Some places are even restricted if your skin colour is not the right type. Whereas Melbourne will let you see all the amazing sights of the country and wonderful city.
Secondly, Cape Town is very likely to flood, so visitors are urged to stay away from areas like The Atlantic Seaboard, False Bay coastline and Strand/Gordon’s Bay beachfront. Cape Town’s beaches are in danger of waves 6 meters or more in height. On the other hand, Melbourne’s beaches are in no danger of flooding, meaning that you can explore the magnificent beaches of Melbourne.
Melbourne Is Better Than Cape Town (disagree)
Firstly, Melbourne is overcrowded with more than 4 million people. Cape Town is a nice, little town, with less people, so you don’t have to slowly nudge your way through busy, crowded streets.
Secondly, Cape Town’s weather is more stable than Melbourne’s, meaning that you can predict what you have to wear at the start of the day. Unlike Melbourne, where you have to be ready for anything in one day.
Dear G.L I like the reasons you gave for both for and against in the topic, Melbourne is a better then cape town, i would still prefer to live in Australia because of how you said its more likely to flood in Cape town, and how you will be insulted about the colour of your skin, whack i don’t want to hear.
