The Tennant Creek Show will be on 12th July.  There are a few more updates to come including the Show program and more sponsors added, but it should give you an idea.  There may be lots of things your students could enter in.

Being the 40^th Show – it will be party time as well!!  Cake, Balloons and raffles for gifts. 

There are also some competitions running for people to have fun with ...

* Build A Scarecrow sponsored by the TC Girl Guides
* Cows for Schools sponsored by the NT Cattlemans Association
* Photography Competition - Photo from any previous Show over the last 40 years sponsored by the Barkly Multicultural Association
* Decorate a Party cake to celebrate 40 years sponsored by Barkly Plumbing Services

Remember - it is just a Great Day Out!  See you there.

Update on Project Loon

I have posted about this fascinating project before, and have added an update - so this is now the latest update on an amazing project designed to help connect everyone throughout the world. 

It is a project that been in progress since 2011 - and provided connectivity to schools and small isolated communities all over the world.  It has also been on hand to help with communication after natural disasters as well.

It isn't just about having the imagination to dream of it - but having the determination to see the project through and make it work.

I thought this was interesting considering my last post could be called anti-technology, if people wanted to read it that way.

If I was going to categorise this as a genre - I would think that it would have to be Steam Punk.
