**The website for the Queenscliff Fort is:**__[]__

**Task 1: What we know about the Fort**  ** Task 2: Questions we have about the Fort **
 * ** It is in Queenscliff **
 * ** It probably has something to do with protection. Maybe protecting the village of Queenstown in the olden days? **
 * ** It probably has old historical buildings there **
 * ** Why was it built? What was its purpose? **
 * ** When was it built? **
 * ** How far away from the camp is it? **
 * ** What will we see there? **

** Task 3: Answering our questions ** ** 1. Why was it built? What was its purpose? ** ** For protection and defence during wars. **

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">** 2. When was it built? ** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">** From 1861-1886 **

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">** 3. How far away from the camp is it? ** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">** It is located in the Borough of Queenscliffe, on the western side of the entrance to Port Phillip Bay. We still aren't sure how far from the camp it is. **

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">** 4. What will we see there? ** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">** Historic buildings, guns, black lighthouse, museum. **

<span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">** Task 4: Other questions we have after looking at the website **
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">** What is The Keep? **
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">** What is the disappearing gun? How does it disappear? **
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">** Why is the black lighthouse black? **
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">** What is the fort used for now? **

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">**__ Why was the Fort important to the defence of Port Phillip Bay? __** <span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The Fort is at the entrance of the bay so that it can make sure no enemy ships come into the bay. The Fort can protect the whole bay by being in Queenscliff. If it was further up, for example Point Cook, it couldn't protect the whole bay because by the time it saw a ship, it would already be in the bay.

We estimated the distance was 1.8km using the scale. Google Maps said the distance was 1.6km. This means our estimate was over by 200metres. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">**Task 7- Working out orientation** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: auto;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: auto;">We used Google Maps to work out that North would be pointing up on this map. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">**Task 8- Describing location using grid references** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 0px; overflow: hidden; vertical-align: auto;">﻿ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: auto;">We added grid references to the map of the Fort and came up with questions about the location of different places in the Fort. Then we had a go at answering each other's questions using the grid references. Here are some examples of our work: <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">
