The Remote Control Chocolate Making Machine
Melbourne : March 31, 2005
The Remote Control Chocolate Making Machine is an invention by Grade 3/4P students from North Fitzroy Primary School.
Our machine has a tube that shoots chocolate pellets and buttons to choose what sort of chocolate it will shoot, such as white, dark etc.
It has special pellets in it which turn into food.
It has a mini freezer to keep things cool and a TV for you to watch.
Once we've produced lots of chocolate, the macne has little bags attached so we can give some chocolate to our friends.
To help clean up, it has a vacuum cleaner to clean up the mess. You can also turn things into chocoloate so you can eat them, but then you can create more to replace them.
The machine also has a button to make things disappear and it even has a laptop computer as well.
Now we can have all the chocolate we want without making a mess!

Magic Fingers
The magic fingers invented by grade 1 & 2 L at North Fitzroy Primary School.
These magic 5 fingers have sparkles on them. These fingers will be covered in plastic like a glove so that our magic fingers only work when we want them to.
There will be a clicker in the middle so that when we press them they talk and have all the answers to any questions we are asked.
The fingers will also make the bed, walk the dog - any house hold chores so that we od not have to do anything again Yipeeeee!

The super entertaining tooth brush
The class of 3L invented a Tooth brush with a computer on it.
This brush is made of plastic and metal and it will vibrate so that you do not ned to move your arm so much. It will also have a radio on it so that you can dance as you brush your teeth.
If you do not like music it will also have a TV on it. This will all be powered by a satellite dish.
The computer will power the radio and TV. It will also have a clock on it so that you can time your brushing. The light on the computer will help you see when you are brushing in the dark.
When you press the button in the middle, out comes the toothpaste and then when you have finished mouthwash will squirt in to your mouth! The lasers will get rid of the germs so your teeth do not rot.
What a great helpful toothbrush!

The Invisible Typing gloves and the Magic Helmet
Melbourne : March 07, 2005
By Jesse and Dylan from Woodleigh
We have special finger gloves that you can slide on your hands and they make you type faster and they already know what you want to type. Whatever you think your fingers type. The finger gloves could turn invisible so no one knew you had them on. We would surprise all of our teachers!
We also have a magic invisible helmet. Whenever you think of what you want to eat, it appears right there on your plate. If you think of the wrong thing by accident (like brussel sprouts) you can send it back.

The miraculous weather in Melbourne
Melbourne : February 11, 2005
I came to Melbourne 3 years ago, and in this city I can find an odd and mysterious weather I ever experienced.
Within 1 day, it might has several seasons.
It starts with a drizzle morning, windy and hot afternoon, cold in the evening and ends-up with freezing late night. I like Melbourne Australia though, as my home country only has 2 seasons in total.
And... about the technology-side, we have www.whereis.com.au, which able to give me a correct direction from my place to the specific location. It also includes the time travel, the direction (includes the round-about thinggy).... Pretty Good technology which can be expanded not only in Australia, but also around the world

Welcome to Melbourne, VIC
Melbourne : January 13, 2005
The traditional land of the Kulin Nation, Melbourne is known by its European name and is one of the great multicultural cities of the world. Melbourne has always been an important meeting place and location for events of social, educational, sporting and cultural significance.
The city of Melbourne is the home, workplace and leisure centre of one of the world's most
harmonious and culturally diverse communities. Residents from more than 140 nations live side
by side in Melbourne.
Meticulously planned, Melbourne began as a barely legal, speculative settlement that broke away from New South Wales, and was fortunate to be blessed with farsighted founders who envisioned a great 19th century city with an abundance of parks and wide roads and boulevards.
Since Robert Hoddle laid out his grid in 1837, many buildings have been raised and razed within the original ‘town reserve’ bounded by Victoria Street, Hoddle Street and the Yarra River, but the streets and parks remain resolute. Today it is thriving as the second largest city in Australia.
Melbourne is a lively, sophisticated city packed with shops, restaurants, bars and cafes in wide, leafy boulevards and tiny, atmospheric laneways that beckon to be explored.
Melbourne has always been characterised by innovation and enterprise.The fusion of tradition and innovation has created an invigorated and forward-thinking city and a dynamic centre for culture, community and commerce.

Theme: ‘Our Innovators’
Subject: Federation Square
In 1997, Peter Davidson and Donald Bates from Lab architecture studio won an international design competition for one of Australia's most ambitious civic and cultural building projects, Federation Square, one of Melbourne’s central squares.Bringing together a creative mix of attractions including galleries, cinemas, SBS TV and radio studios, restaurants, cafes and bars, a function centre and theatre and open public spaces, Federation Square comprises some of the most striking and cutting-edge architecture in the world.
Its design reflects the true spirit of federation - independent identities combining to form a larger whole. The innovative building façade utilises new understandings of surface geometries and allows individual buildings to be differentiated from each other whilst maintaining an overall aesthetic and cohesiveness.
