Shepherdson Garden The students at Shepherdson College on Elcho Island are very lucky to have such a fantastic garden to work in, to care for, and to eat the fresh food from!
The students and their teachers also produce a fantastic blog about what they do in their garden and kitchen. In this they talk about the three ethics that guide them. An ethic is something that they agree on as a guide to living well, in their life as well as their garden and classrooms! The Three Ethics are Earth Care, Fair Share and People Care. This means they care for the; Earth by looking after the soil and making it strong with mulch and compost. People by not teasing, being friendly and kind, and providing for their needs And they give everyone a Fair share by only taking what they need, and sharing it around.

Lots of different food comes from the Shepherdson Garden – see if you can find these ones!
Food grown in a garden is always healthy as it is fresh, contains lots of vitamins and is not made in a factory. It doesn’t have added sugar, salt or other chemicals like preservatives.

Crocwise
The students at Pularumpi school recorded a great song about being crocwise. VAMPtv went to the school and made the video with the students – what great fun they all had! While this was fun, for people living around water in the Top End, crocodiles are a very serious and real threat.

FILM MAKING Film-‐making is a fantastic way of telling stories. The technology to do so at school is affordable and the skills gained include planning, organization, writing, directing (leadership) as well as the technical skills with cameras and computers. If you make a film you might even win a VAMPIE at the end of the year! A useful exercise as part of Pre-‐production for making a film is called story boarding. This breaks the story down into parts and includes diagrams that describe what the film will look like. Here is a sample of the storyboard that Arijay from Gunbalanya made for his short film
He draws the picture to show what the film will look like He writes in the action that takes place He writes what the camera does and the sort of shot.
Teachers: There are many excellent resources available to pursue film-‐making in schools, including one through ourcourses.ntschools.net which the Gunbalanya class utilized. Please contact [email protected] for more info on this course.

FILM MAKING Make up a simple story and tell it in 6 parts! If you can’t think of anything to make it about, do something simple, like going to the shop, but try and use close ups to make it look more interesting! You can use this method to help you make up any stories!

Crocodile facts
The saltwater crocodile is the largest living reptile species. It can grow up to six metres and is a serious threat to humans. Saltwater crocodiles have evolved special characteristics that make them excellent predators.
· Large saltwater crocodiles can stay underwater for at least one hour because they can reduce their heart rate to 2-3 beats per minute. This means that crocodiles can wait underwater until they see prey, or if people are using the same spot regularly, the crocodile can wait underwater until someone approaches the water’s edge.
· A crocodile can float with only eyes and nostrils exposed, enabling it to approach prey without being detected.
· When under water, a special transparent eyelid protects the crocodile’s eye. This means that crocodiles can still see when they are completely submerged.
· The tail of a crocodile is solid muscle and a major source of power, making it a strong swimmer and able to make sudden lunges out of the water to capture prey. These strong muscles also mean that for shorts bursts of time crocodiles can move faster than humans can on land.
· Crocodiles have a thin layer of guanine crystals behind their retina. This intensifies images, allowing crocodiles to see better at low light levels.
· Crocodiles have a ‘minimum exposure’ posture in the water, which means that only their sensory organs of eyes, cranial platform, ears and nostrils remain out of the water. This means that they often go unseen by prey, but if they are observed, the prey is often not able to tell how big the crocodile is.
· Crocodile eyes are located very closely together and they are oriented forward. This enables them to judge distance very accurately so they can determine the exact location of their prey prior to attack.
· Crocodiles have excellent hearing, which helps them to locate prey particularly in poor light or low visibility conditions.
· While crocodiles may regularly lose teeth, they have a second tooth sitting in reserve underneath the external tooth, which can replace the lost tooth.
· The jaws of crocodiles are designed to generate enormous power when the jaws are closing. This enables them to quickly crush prey. ���Why does the Northern Territory have more crocodiles than Queensland or Western Australia? ���A large proportion of the coastal region of the Northern Territory is an ideal habitat for saltwater crocodiles, particularly the big, productive “coastal” wetlands and rivers. Much of the Queensland coastline is in the cooler, more southerly latitudes, which is less optimal habitat for crocodiles. Much of the habitat on the east coast has also been significantly altered and fragmented by human settlement. Western Australia has saltwater crocodile habitat around the Kimberley coastline but this area is not as rich in mangroves and wetlands as the Territory coastline. ���In the southern part of its range, winter temperatures reach a threshold below which crocodile eggs will not hatch and the longer cold periods significantly lower crocodile growth rates. The effect of a cooler climate on crocodiles can be seen in those animals kept in wildlife parks in southern Queensland. The crocodiles do not feed over winter as they cannot absorb enough warmth to digest food.
