Project on Harvey WA - to be completed at school and home DUE WEEK 10

Next week our class will be starting a project on Harvey WA that will be completed in class and as part of homework. I have booked the ipads and computer next week to ensure we are making a strong start with our research next week. Below I have included a copy of the sheet students will receive in case they leave it at school they can still access it from home. We will begin this in Monday.

HARVEY WA

Over the next few weeks, as part of your class work and your homework, you will be completing a booklet about Harvey WA. Camp Mornington lies on the outskirts of Harvey, so this project will give you a good insight into the area, as well as, the history, industries, attractions and geography of the area.

You are to research the following facts on the South West town next week (Week 7) and then put together a booklet that can be handwritten or typed (only if you have a computer at home and a USB to bring to and from school). A hard copy of your booklet will be due in Week 10.

What your booklet should be made up of:

Location – include a map

History – include first settlers and aboriginal heritage

Industries           – Dairy (Harvey Fresh)

                                - Fruits (Harvey Fresh)

                                - Beef (Harvey Fresh)

                                -Bauxite (Alcoa Wagerup)

                                - Water (S.W Irrigation)

Attractions – Include a paragraph and picture of each

                                -The Big Orange

                                -Harvey Weir

                                -Internment Camp/Shrine

                                -Harvey Cheese

                                -Mornington Camp

 

Extension –

Marron – Research and write something about marron. You may be given the opportunity to catch and release one at camp.

Snakes – We hope we don’t see any of these!!! Look at what snakes inhabit this area and an action plan of what to do if someone was bitten.
