             Telgram
==In war telegrams were used to send mesages to people.For example from the battle feild to base or sent to a soldiers family e.g MIA (missing in action) or KIA (killed in action). ==

Telegrams were also used for happy occassions too like a wedding or a birth of a child.
==The messages were sent by morse code along the telegraph wires, The telegram was sent to the post office where someone would transfer the message from morse code to a letter then the postman would take the good (or not so good) news to the family. == == ==

Here is a telegram.
MOTAT

On tuesday the 8th we went to motat
==First we met Elain and she told us about motat and what we were going to do,then we put our bags away and we went off with our group.Our group went to the hands on area first; It was very fun! ==

==Then we went on the tram,we went on the green one from melbourne.It was fun but the driver was a bit grumpy! when I was in Melbourne I went on one where we got dinner served. ==

==Then we went on the VOYAGER it was so cool.You go into a spaceship like thing and sit on seats, you watch a screen and everything goes dark. Then the screen turns on.It's like you are in another world as you are watching it. You go through all these funny monsters and slime- its slightly strange. When it was finished the lady opened the door and we begged her for another one and she said... yes!! ==

==After the voyager we went with Elaine to a room with lots of old telephones and typewriters. We sat down and talked about communication and how it was used. We started with visual(this is things like pictures and paintings).Seeing all the old cameras was very interesting.Then we moved in to written communication, there were old typewriters,fax macines,morse code macines and even the Ipad.The verbal section had very old telephones, mobiles and even record players.Did you know that very very early mobiles had to be carryed in a case, ha ha.Then we got to have a look around, I wrote my name on a type writer, wrote my name in morse code and did it in victorian script. ==

==It had been a long day but we had todo one more thing......the mirror maze.It was awesome,there were mirrors on every wall, but there was a path you had to find.It was confusing at times but I did it. ==

There was very little food and water here and no safe place to sleep. The young woman was hungry, thirsty and tired but she would not give up and return to her people. Then she saw that a group of men from her tribe were coming to take her back no matter what. She ran even further into the dryest part of the land. = =<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Soon she was exhausted and bruised by branches and rocks, she was near to death but somehow she managed to keep going. Eventually her ancestor spirits became so worried. They lifted her gently away in to the sky world, where she slept peacefully for a long time. = =<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">When she awoke she found plenty of food and water and lit a camp fire. She was all alone but not afraid. She was as determined as ever to live alone rather than return to her tribe.As she looked down on them she saw that most of the men and women were sad that she had gone. After a few days she found she was feeling very homesick but now she belonged to the sky world and was unable to return home. = =<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">As she watched her people she saw that they were cold. Because they were doing their chores they could not sit by their camp fires and keep warm. = =<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">The young woman decided to build up her camp fire and make it so big that it would warm all the people down below as they went about their day. So all day long she built up her fire to give warmth to her people and as night came she let her fire die down as they were then able to sit by their own camp fires. = =<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">When she saw how happy this made her people, she made up her mind to light her camp fire every day. Soon her people began to look each morning for her giant fire. They were very grateful for the warmth it gave them and they called it 'The Sun'. = = = =<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #42dd31; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;"> = = = = = =<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #42dd31; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">**DANCE** = =<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">ON monday we did another dance session. this time we got in pairs and followed each other around while doing dance moves, this is called locomotion or traveling. after we did that we performed infront of the class. = =<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">At scool on monday we did dance. firstly we spread out and found our own space,we felt around our space, jumped in and out of our space and we made creative moves. these moves were symetrycal and twisted.we got paired up with a partner and made a routine useing the symetrycal and twisted shapes.

Garden to table is where the gardening group goes to collect fresh produce and attends to the garden while the cooking group stay in the kitchen making all kinds of scrumptious tasty treats to feast on. This week I was in the cooking group. I made a very yummy salad that included carrot, celery, capciscum and other ingredients. In the salad we also added a dressing. It was made from Italian red wine vinegar, lemon juice and parsley. We also made an egg dish and fejoa amber.When we had finished we took all our beautiful foods and placed them on the tables. All the food tasted really good .My favorite was the fejoa amber because it melted in my mouth as I ate it.
