Last blog for term 1



Where is this building? What's special about it?


G'day all,


Well I had great plans for this week's blog but time has got the better of me and I won't be able to do it!


Thanks to my class for helping Sally's class last week. I'm sorry that I haven't had a chance to add the links to my blog but I'll do it as soon as I can.


Next Thursday, Gordana is going to take both classes on an excursion to the Rocks. This is a very beautiful part of Sydney and an important historical area. During the excursion you will visit many places and I'd like you to look them up today so that you have some information before you go. When you look at the Rocks link, be sure to check out the Interactive map, the Rocks discovery Museum and the Sydney Visitor Centre. Have a look here for some history of the area. One of the places that you're sure to see is Cadman's Cottage. Have a look at this interesting place. When you have explored the Rocks on the internet, write a post on your blog of one of the places mentioned. Remember to use your own words and do not plagarise anyone's work. NO COPYING AND PASTING OF INFORMATION!
Have a look at this link to Earth Hour. What is it? Are you going to do it? Write about it in your blog. may be a photo???
Remember to check out Time4English and try some of the listening exercises. Instead of Easter eggs this year, perhaps you could get some headphones for next term so we can start recording. When we come back we'll try Digital stories so can you bring some photos on a USB, camera etc?
Well, have a great holiday and enjoy your free time away from TAFE. I look forward to seeing you all next term- relaxed, refreshed and ready for work!
Happy blogging!

About Earth Hour!


I think this is a fantastic "program". Usually when we dont use some electrical things, we just leave them in standbay mode, and I think we use to much energy on the world. So that's why Earth hour is important so we can clean this planet. You know if we do just a little thing for the world we able to proceed step by step towards to the healthy planet. By the way, in my country we have done it before a couple of mounth. I love it!!!
