INTRODUCTIONS** (Click on the subject link to view that page) The following people in my group were: Courtney, Linh, Melanie and Samantha

Math For the Term 3 Math component of the Integrated Project, 8C’s task was to investigate the annual income of a client chosen and the area of the house the client lives in. There had to be a lot of research involved towards the client’s income and how much of that money could be used depending on their needs or wants. My group included Courtney, Linh, Melanie, Samantha and myself. My client was a recently arrived refugee family in which the parents worked as a taxi driver and a retailer assistant. After finding the correct house that matched the family’s wage, our group had to answer a few questions about our house. Science For the Term 3 Science Component of the Integrated Project, the whole class of 8C was seprated into groups of four or five. The task was to research the plants and animals found in ONE of the following ecosystems near the Maribyrnong River as well as making food webs/chains and answering a series of short questions. There were four ecosystems to choose from, which were; • Newells Paddock (wetland ecosystem) • **Iramoo Grassland** (grassland ecosystem) • Altona Coastal Park (salt marsh ecosystem) My group, which included Melanie, Linh, Courntney and Samantha, decided to research on the ecosystem of Iramoo Grassland.

English The English component of the Integrated Project was to create a short story (300 words/a page). It was to be written about a house of your fantasy, your dream house or a house you have previously lived in looked like in thorough detail. I chose to write a house I previously lived in a couple of years ago which is roughly over 300 words.

SOSE For the Sose part of the Integrated Project, in groups, we had to research information and answer the questions about the suburbs of Maribyrnong. The suburbs we investigated from were; Footscray, West Footscray, Yarraville, Seddon, Kingsville, Braybrook, Maribyrnong and Maidstone.The researching process was broke up into 5 tasks. Includes combining all the suburb information together and making a suburb profile report (which I put an extract in on my page). When completed the tasks, we were to pick a cilent and find a appropriate house matching their financial status.
