When we arrived at Hargraves on the 9/8/10 we were placed into our groups for the day.
The first thing we did was Soft ball; it was cool and I managed to get 3 home runs. We played 3 innings each. It was very fun and I will like to play it again because there were more people.
The 2nd activity we did was the Questacon science activity. There were two men and they were both scientist but they were cool as well. They made a balloon shrivel up and made a balloon pop. After the Nitrogen part they talked about sound. They had 3 objects: one was a ping pong ball, one was a plastic cup and the last one was a bucket. They all made a different noise each.
The last activity we did was all about old artefacts. There were all different things. Some were everyday objects. Some were doctors' equipment and some were old clothes. We had to wear white gloves for protection. It was cool because all of the artefacts were 100-150 years old. I enjoyed it very well.

Yesterday the school drove to Hargraves for term three's Harhilleyer Day.
As soon as we arrived at Hargraves we lined up to go in different groups. The K to 2 went to see Questacon people who worked there. The 3 to 6 walked down onto the field and started playing softball. The softball was a fun and long game.
After softball we had morning tea. When we finished playing we went into a lesson about sound waves and liquid nitrogen. First Scott talked to us about liquid nitrogen and how cold it is. Liquid nitrogen is -196CO .
An hour later we barged out to get our lunch.
Five minutes later we went off to play. Shannen, Hannah, Grace, Bronte and I played tips for the whole lunch time.
After that the primary walked into a classroom and a lady showed us the Box of Tricks. Before we put on gloves so we did not leave oil on the old items she showed us. We looked at 14 different old items. I liked the eye bath because it is an everyday item.
