Winter feast

Today we enjoyed a delicious lunch thanks to
the feast team. As you can see by all the
happy faces our students were thrilled.
Thank you to everyone involved, our
students think you are awesome!

MU6 playing their recorders

All our grade four students have made terrific
progress learning the recorder this semester.
Today these students played a favourite piece
either solo, duet or trio as we listened.
Well done MU6, you are all stars.

A walk around Carlsruhe

This building near the school used to be
a Presbyterian Church.

This plaque remembers the citizens of
Carlsruhe who served in various wars.

A typical Friday recess

This yummy rhubarb cake was made by our cooks
yesterday. We had a slice for morning tea.

Everyday on the oval many students enjoy playing
soccer together. They cooperative and enjoy
themselves immensely.

The cubbies are a highlight of Carlsruhe
and these girls were spotted enjoying
themselves.

Historic Carlsruhe and Kyneton

Our first stop was the Cobb and Co Stables
that we pass everyday at Carlsruhe.

Next we looked at the two rocks that mark
where the toll gates used to be.

The intersection at Carlsruhe of Ebden and
Nicholson Street.

In 1854 there was a Post Office established
on this site at Carlsruhe.

The Pines in Kyneton, an old bluestone house
is now the Organ's Bus lines office.

Here we are outside St Paul's Anglican
Church in Kyneton.

We walked along historic Piper Street looking
at all the old buildings and signs.

Here we are at the Kyneton Museum in Piper
Street. Look at the old red letterbox.

The Museum used to be the Bank of
N.S.W. and was built in 1864.

At the Museum we looked at Theaden Cottage
and listened to a story about life in the olden days.

In Piper Street we stopped and looked at the
stone workers. We saw granite, marble and
other stones being cut and chiseled. 

At the beginning of Piper Street there is this
sign about the old produce market.

This blue stone house is now a B and D but
used to be part of the old flour mill.

Our day in Kyneton was an interesting day out.

Olden day object

All of our students have given a short talk about
an olden day object. They have been so interesting.
Cooper told us about this Harley Davidson that
his grandfather and dad have restored. His dad
drove it to school and then we watched him
drive away again. Thank you Rob and Cooper.

In the olden days!

Barb Brown came to visit us last week. She taught
at Woodend Primary School for 28 years.
She talked to us about her childhood and what
it was like living at Hesket before there were
any services like electricity. It was very
interesting. Thank you Barb.
