Boys Eye View!

A little humour in our Australian History today!
Captain Cook claims the land for England's King George III and names it New South Wales.
We started discussing 150 years of statehood for Queensland and S2 asks why we are called Queensland. Mum launches into a lengthy historic run down but S1 grins cheekily. "It was so we can play State of Origin of course!"

    I always have such a nice, relaxing time here, Ruby. I especially loved reading about "Pie Day" in your own school!

    A wise teacher, such as yourself, makes learning a joy not a job!
