We are in Year 5 and there are 25 in our class .....11 girls and 14 boys.
This term we are learning about the Environment. Especially Rainforests and
Endangered Australian Animals.
On 26 October we are going on our Year 5 camp to Mt Glorious which is in a
sub-tropical rainforest in the mountains just west of Brisbane.
Our teacher's name is Mr Waters. He is a good teacher. He explains a lot of
things about the environment to us.
We have just read the book "An Apology To Bilbies. We thought it was sad
because bilbies are dwindling in numbers.
We are all looking forward to doing the book rap and meeting all the other
schools.

headmistress, Sister Caroline. We have about 800 girls in total,
from Nursery class to grade 12 - and our Junior school goes to grade 7.

have only recently enjoyed their own e-mail addresses. We are very
excited about the bilby book rap project and look forward to

Hi,
This is Brendan and Andrew from ST John's Richmond we are in Grade 6.
Our class has go into the Bilby Rap thing so we decided to write in.
Our school is in Richmond, Tasmania (Australia). We have an oval, a small
library (we hope to get a big one built soon), a basketball court and
that's about it.
Tasmania has lots of historic places. There is Port Arthur, our school's
town of Richmond, Eaglehawk Neck and heaps more.
We both believe that the Thylacine (Tasmanian Tiger) could still be here in
Tasmania. Who knows? The Government have offered a $1,000,000 prize for
anyone that has proof of one that has been sighted recently, like a dead
one or perhaps even a photograph. We reckon they are around.
Sincerely,
Brendan and Andrew
Look for Brendan and Andrew's poem on the Thylacine.

Charters
Towers School of Distance Education
Hi fellow rappers,
We are a year 3 class at the Charters Towers School of Distance Education
in Queensland. We do our schoolwork from home as we live on properties
around Richmond, Mt Coolon (which is near Clermont) and Hidden Valley
(near Paluma outside Townsville).
Some of us are taught by our Mums and others have a governess who teaches them. We
have papers that we complete and send back to our teacher
in Charters Towers. Our teacher talks to us every day for half an hour
when we have our on air lessons. These lessons are conducted through two way
radios. Sometimes we have trouble hearing each other and the teacher.
We don't see each other every day but only when we visit the school for camps and the
teacher comes to visit us.
Our teacher, Miss Smith read us "An Apology to Bilbies" during our
on air lessons last week. We really enjoyed the book.
Some of us are visiting the school next week and will be able to see the book
and have a look at messages from other rappers. We can't wait.
Miss Smith is helping us out by typing the messages to the list as some of us
don't have email connections at home.
She has been reading messages to us each day.
Woodstock State School
Hello from the Year 6/7 class at Woodstock State School, North
Queensland.
Woodstock is a small town, 40 klm south of Townsville. Which takes us inland on the
Flinders Highway travelling between Townsville and Charters Towers.
There are 14 students in our class and they live in a radius of 20
klms from the school.
The children mainly live in a rural setting, farming cattle and horses and the odd
ostrich or two, and some hobby farmers and orchard growers.
One of the childrens favourite sports,
other than horse sports, would be the local soccer club. Children travel to and from
school mainly by bus, with some parents working in Townsville.
Our school population is 67 at present, with four classroom teachers (including myself as
the teaching principal), 3 teacher aides, cleaner, contract groundsperson and
many visiting
or itinerant teachers. The Yr 6/7 children participate in Chinese lessons via
teleconference facilities and have weekly library, physical education and music
lessons.
We are looking forward to this
bookrap, the first for our students.
Thankyou all,
Ms Gail Woodward (Acting Principal and
Year 6/7 teacher)
