Hi busy rappers,
Time is passing us so quickly, it's hard to believe we are already at the beginning of week 3.
A warm welcome to 6C from Maitland and well done Alana on 6C's behalf. Yes I image that road and rail safety issues need intense discussion at Maitland due to your position. However, it is important for us all as you never know when we may be exposed to situations which test our safety awareness.
Thankyou Marayong for sending your first transport riddles. All the other rappers may like to submit answers to them and our own riddles.
I am happy to report that the Tracking Train site www.trackingtrains.com.au can now be accessed directly. There was a firewall problem which did not show up on StateRail computers. Thankyou Mrs Scheffers from Marayong Public School for alerting me to the problem.
In regards to our tasks and introductions please do not feel you are too behind to join in if we have not received your emails yet. No doubt the first two weeks back at school after the holidays have been very busy.
Those of you who still need to send your introductions may like to think about perhaps skipping task 1 and begin with Rap 2 activities after you post your introduction. I'll leave it up to your class teacher to decide.
Those of you who are right up to date may like to investigate the following sites for transport activity fun and general knowledge:
Test your transport vocabulary knowledge by doing a transport crossword at :

Rap point 2 will make you aware of some very important in-built safety features.
Enjoy and learn as you work together using your ICT skills to locate and evaluate information.
Keep on rapping and have fun learning using your computers,
All the best for the week from your rap coodinator,
Ingrid Weiss.
