On Wednesday the 23rd of July Year 5 and Year 6 went to Bankstown council. We learnt about safety rules such as:
- You are not allowed to put your rubbish on the side of the road
- You are not allowed to park your car on a no stopping sign
- If you go more than a 40 km per hours in a school zone the you will get a penalty of over thousands of dollars or hundreds.
We also participated in a role play about how the councillors vote on a decision.The parts of the role play are the troublemaker (Gabby),the guards (Jade and Jason), the mayor (Georgia) and the 12 councillors (Emily, Gabby, Lilly, Sinead, Ryley, Matthew.D, Jack, Meg, Christopher, Angela, Angelica).
After that, we went to the new library and had a scavenger hunt. We knew which book we had to find because the librarian gave us a tag which said the book name on it. If we couldn't find the book then there were some computers where we could search for the book that we needed. At the end 4 people read a book which had 4 different colours in it so 4 people could read it. Then we read another one.
When we left the librarian gave us a bag with a pencil a book and two pieces of paper in it. Then we went back to school and had music. :D

I really liked the Bankstown Council excursion, it was really funny. The favourite part of the excursion was when gaby had to run away from those security guards and when we had to booo or cheer really loud.
