I learned what the poor farmers did when they ran out of cattle and livestock. They had to move into the cities and there was a lot of crime because people were so poor. || 29.5.12 || Started planning my next contract. I’m going to do a flow chart that includes graphics and information about the Early Explores of Australia. || I learned that 11 people came to Australia before the First Fleet. The 11 people came to Australia in: 1606, 1623, 1642, 1688, 1699, 1756, 1768, 1769, 1772, 1772, 1772-1775 and 1785. || 30.5.12 || Kept on doing my draft for my flow chart. || I learned that Dutch Captain Willem Jansz might have made landfall on Cape York, and travelled 300 kms of the coast of a new continent without realising it. I learned that Jan Carstensz reported to the Dutch East India captains of seeing a dry land, no use to mankind, whose inhabitants were 'the poorest and most wretched creatures ever seen'. || 1.6.12 || I’ve got all my information; I just need to think how I’m going to set it out. || I learned that the Batavia (Old name for Jakarta) Governor-General Van Diemen sent Abel Tasman to search for the undiscovered continent, there being 'good reasons many attractive and fruitful lands are located therein' as it was in a temperate climate. He was away for ten months and accidentally came upon Tasmania which he claimed and named Van Diemen's Land. He next found and named New Zealand. || Weekend 11.6.12 || I have to go back and do the work on England in the 1700s because I did the wrong work a few weeks ago. Decided to try to do a news report on a trial in England. || Life in England before the First Fleet was very hard. People were put in jail for stealing or impersonating an Egyptian. If they had dirt on their face they would be hung! || 12.6.12 || I switched plans; I am going to an acrostic-poem titling TRANSPORTATION. I switched plans because I found information for a trial in England but I couldn’t find a way to present in. || I learned that rural workers were forced off their farms by the gentry. Then they moved into London because there was no-where else to go. This is how the population in London doubled between 1700 and 1800. || 17.6.12 || Typed up my acrostic poem up on the computer. I finished typing it up. Mum says that I need to find some pictures to cover-up the white spaces. || I learned the in a disgusting town (London) a river could be a cesspool of diseases such as cholera, typhus and typhoid. Yuck! || 18.6.12 || I glued some pictures on to my poem || I don’t really know what I learnt from gluing pictures onto my page but I really hate gluing || 20.6.12 || I glued some more pictures on to my poem || It’s important to get your early ||
