G'Day,
We are a 5/6 class at Wanniassa Hills Primary School in Canberra, Australia. There are 31 children in our class and 12 classes in our school of 332 students. Wanniassa is a suburb in the Tuggeranong Valley in Canberra's south. Our city is called the bush capital because there are many trees and green areas in and around the city. Because of this we have many birds and animals, even kangaroos, around our suburbs. In our playground we have aboriginal scarred trees which are very old. Aborigines used the bark of Eucalypts to make canoes, shields and coolemons.
Canberra is situated west of Sydney in the Australian Capital Territory. We are 3 hours from Sydney, 2 hours from the surf beaches of the southern coast of New South Wales and 2 hours from the ski fields of the Australian Alps.
Our summers get very hot and we often have droughts. Winters in Canberra are quite cold compared with other parts of the country. Occasionally we even get falls of snow.
We are looking forward to reading letters from others participants in the Global Temperature Project.
