Henry's Granddad, Mr Moffatt popped in to see us today to show us the replica of the HMS Endeavour ship that he made.  It took Mr Moffatt eight years to build!  That is older than the children in 1B!  He said he  used to would work on it at night time. 

Mr Moffatt knew a lot of information about the British Royal Navy boat and about Captain James Cook, who was sailing this boat when he discovered Australia.

We found this really interesting as we have been looking at Sydney in the Past and Present in HSIE.  We have been discovering what happened to the Aborigines when the British arrived on the boats and the impact this had on them.

As you can see we had lots of questions to ask.  Thanks for coming to visit us Mr Moffatt!
