Photos from last Thursday's party










G'day all!


Last Thursday we had a party to celebrate the fact that some of our class had completed the Citizenship preparation Course called 'Let's Participate' (Click on this link if you want information about the course).

A good time was had by all! As you can see from the photos, there was lots of yummy food. A big thank you to all those who cooked for the party. I still can't believe the 'eggs' that Warsi brought!

The photos are some of those taken by Dan and Timmy! If you want to see them all, ask Green for the disk!

The work for today can be found in Our Class. Last week you wrote a refusal to an invitation for me as a practice. Now it's time for the 'real' assessment! Please open the invitation on Rosa's BLOG but send the reply to me! If you have your headphones, please listen to the podcast and complete the task.

Remember too to work on your photostory!!!! I still haven't seen any of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's time too for some of you go go back through the blog posts and COMPLETE the activities! Some students still have lots of work to do!!!!

Until next time!

Well, what a fabulous group of attractive, good-looking people! I wonder why they're all so happy? I wonder where they're going? Who are they?? Where are they? When was the photo taken? Who took the photo? Is anybody missing from the photo?

Post a comment with any or all of the above answers!

G'day all!

Hope you all enjoyed the little party this morning and congratulations to all the students who received the certificates! Well done to all of you! I hope that next time we run the course, some of our 'new' students will do it too!!

Now for your work! Well, did you have fun on Tuesday doing the photstory? I do hope you brought or saved some photos so that we can put a story together today! It will be much better too if you have your headphones with you!

After you've written a refusal to the invitation I've sent you, please open Rosa's blog and listen to the podcasts about the Pylon excursion and the other suggested ones. I'll be working on postcards with you on Monday so you don't have to write one 'till nest week! Ok?

Once again, have fun and ask me if you have any problems.

Bye bye

Reading Our Class 2006 blog questions

G'day again!

Rosa has some interesting activities for you to do on the Our class 2006 blog. Have a look and see how many of the activities you can do! I haven't given you the Elvis worksheet yet but you can still try the activities! I just have to make sure that Issues in English is available in FG.03!!

It should be easy for you to answer the questions about the timetables but many of you have already done the forum question so you don't have to worry about that for this week.

As we won't be having a computer lesson this week I won't give you anything else to do. Remind me to give you a copy of all the things you MUST put in your blog before the end of the term!

Well, that's enough for now! See you all on Thursday ready for an exciting excursion up the Pylon!!!

Take care! Be good!

A Computer lesson on Tuesday? Fair Dinkum?


G'day all! J'ava'good arvo yesterday?

Isn't it great to have nearly all the class with us today! I hope that these students work as hard as the others in the class!! I also hope that you can all remember your BLOG information today... no forgotten passwords etc!!!!

In this week's forum we have an interesting topic about punishing children. Read the introduction and don't forget to make a comment. Remember to ask me for the user name and password. DON'T use your name except to sign the comment you make. If other people have left a comment, read that too!

When you have finished in the forum you can open the link to the podcast with Patricia: A Librarian. Remember to read all the text and print off the questions before you start!! When you have the answers, post everything in your blog. Maybe even include a photo!!!!

Finally, if you still have time go into Time4English. Open the Grammar book link from the menu and try your hand at doing the exercises on modals. Some of them are hard so be careful!

What's in a Forum?

1. In my email to you this week I asked you to go in Our Class (Rosa's blog) and join the Forum. Don't forget to look up what this means! Come and ask me for the username and password too.

2. I'd like you to do the exercise on the Computer Health and answer the questions I gave you in class.

3. Don't forget to look at your new classmates' blogs and make a comment about what they have written.
