ULMARRA SOCCER TEAM FOURTH IN THE
STATE
Congratulations to our Soccer team who came fourth at
the State Championships. They played very well and it
came down to dot shots and golden goal. Everyone had
a great time and there behaviour and sportsmanship
was exemplary. Congratulations!
SHANNON CREEK DAM AND RECYCLING CENTRE
EXCURSION
Our first stop was the tip. We were split into two
groups: 3 to 6 and K to 2. We went on a tour first. We
went to the Green waste which had a tunnel 24 metres
long of compost and it stayed in there for 14 days. It
then sat outside for a few more weeks before it was
ready. When it was nearly ready it goes into the
shredder and it shreds sticks and plastic. Then we went
to a shed with recycled rubbish and they made squares
of cans and glass together and paper and cardboard
together. Then I saw a soccer ball and a mountain of
rubbish at the landfill section.
Then we swapped groups we went in a can thing with
red bins, green bins and yellow bins to get an idea
what goes in each. We also looked at how to conserve
the environment.
We then went to Shannon Creek Dam. It was at 8.3
metres high, the highest was 7.8 meters on the
overflow. Then we walked across the bridge and went
back down again. We saw a remote control lawn
mower and how the pumps work. Then we went back
to school. We all enjoyed it.
