Surf for Life Project

On Saturday 9th May Solitary Islands Surf School ran a Vegemite SurfGroms Program. The Program was run with North Coast Settlement Service for their families that have children aged 5 to 12yr olds.

The day was a great chance for the students to not only experience surfing but to learn valuable ocean awareness and beach safety skills that will be an asset for the rest of their lives. Activities on the day were a mix of challenge by choice and were designed so participants have maximum fun in the ocean. Each participant received a fantastic Quicksilver or Roxy participation pack.
A huge thank you from the Coffs Harbour Public School participants. They still can’t wipe the smiles from their faces.

Minecraft Club / Village

In Minecraft Club I decided to make my own village. There are walls everywhere in my village to keep everyone safe. There are two beds for the villagers to share and a water fountain for them to drink at. They go out to the forest with diamond swords to catch their food.

Minecraft Club / Ancient Egyptian Pyramid

In Minecraft Club we built an Ancient Egyptian pyramid. We learnt a lot about the pyramids during our lessons. Our favourite facts were:

• Over 130 pyramids have been discovered in Egypt.
• The first Egyptian pyramid is believed to be built around 4650 years ago.
• Egyptian Pyramids often contain multiple chambers and passages.
• Bodies placed in the tombs were preserved by mummification.

Minecraft Club / How an Elevator Works

During Minecraft Club Darnell and I researched and learnt how an elevator works before building our own. We learnt that:

• Most elevators work just like a pulley.
• A very strong metal cable that is joined to the top of the elevator car and goes up through a sheave in an engine room above the elevator.
• The sheave is like a pulley wheel with grooves in it to help hold the rope tightly.
• On the other side of the rope is a weight, which is as heavy as the elevator car when it is half full.
• This balances the car so that not too much energy is needed to move it.
• Both the weight and the elevator car are held in place by guide rails at both sides of the elevator shaft (the tunnel that the elevator is in).

Minecraft Club / Car Safety

In Minecraft club we designed and built a series of roads to teach the road safety rules to younger students.

Our tips are:
– The driver must stop at any red light
– Always wear your seatbelt
– Before crossing the road look left and right, make sure it is safe before crossing
– Don’t disturb the driver while they are driving
– Cross the road at the zebra crossing or lights
– Hold an adults hand when crossing the road
