Who is this man? Why have I put his picture in my blog this week? Poat your replies in Comments!
G'day all,
What a clever bunch you all are! Last week's answers about 'skivvies' and the Wiggles were well done. I'm sure those of you with young children knew the answers easily! (I did hear some of you singing 'Hot Potato, Hot Potato'!)

Some of you are falling behind with the work on the blog! I realise that some of you had problems with your blogs and have had to create new ones. It is important to do the work I set you each week. If you are having trouble , please speak to me! This is a class to help you to improve your English skills in a different way but if I can't see evidence of your work, it's hard for me to know how you're progressing!
Congratulations to you all with list of ways to learn English outside the classroom. Read Rosa's post and check out the forum to see all the answers! While you're there, check out this week's froum topic.
As you have had 2 visits to the library with Lisbeth, I'd like you to listen to the podcast with Patricia the librarian and remember to PRINT the worksheets so that you can answer the questions more easily in your blog. Try to present your answers in a clear and easy to understand format. It's better if you can listen with headphones so that you don't disturb your classmates.
You've been working with Sally on a puzzle for Harmony Day which sounds great! Have a look at Rosa's blog for some questions about Harmony Day! Check out Time4English too for the exercises on culture.
There is a new program on the computers in FG.20 now. It's called Issues in English. I'd like you to open it and have a look! It's very popular with other students. I hope you enjoy it too.
Good luck to all of you going on the Bridge walk on Sunday! Perhaps I'll see you among the 200,000 people!! I'm walking 1pm!
Happy Blogging!

G'day Marion:
This week's topic has a little bir difficult,but when you give us a clue,I find the answer.
The picture of the man is Saint Patrick who was a Christian missonaray and is regarded as the patron saint of Ireland.
The reason that you put this picture on the blog is on 17 March Ireland,it is Sanit Patrick Day ,and it is the feast day which annual celebrate Saint Patrick as well
Good day Marion!
I think that man is St Patrick cause i wanted to know about St Patrick Day before.Lisbeth told me that is a special day come from Ireland(your country,hihihih).In that day,peoploe'll wear everything with Green or Ogrange coulor(the man wore a green dress).
(-__-)hehehhehe
This picture is Ireland's famous patron saint. 17th March is St. Patrick Day, this is reason Marion set St. Patrick's picture to her blog to celebrate the special day.I Know Australian also celebrate St. Patrick's day around March, but I don't know the exact date before, and know little about the celebration and the special meaning.
Hi,Marion!
The person in your magical photo is Saint Patrick. And Because Mar.17 is the most important day in Ireland--the National Day!
So happy to learn some knowledge about your beautiful country!
Have a good weekend!

Hi Marion
The picture is St. Patrick and the reason why you put this picture in your blog this week is-- Saturday March 17, 2007 is the St.Patrick's Day. And it is a traditional Irish holiday.
Happy St. Patrick's Day !!!
Hi,Marion:
I think the person is St Patrick. He is the patron saint of Ireland and is one of christianity's most well known saints.17th march is St patrick's day.
Hi,Marion:
This man is St. Patrick.
Saint Patrick was the patron saint and national apostle of Ireland who is credited with bringing christianity to Ireland.
Saint Patrick's Day will come,it is celebrated on March 17th.So I think that why you put it in your blog.
Hi Marion,
On the picture is St. Patrick, who lived 400 years ago.
Well, this day is (17th of March)the St Patrick Day, when the Irish people can celebrat on this day, but not olso in Ireland, all over the World where Irish people live. In this day thay wear "only" (but I'm not sure) green clothes.
So, this is a very inportant nacional day in Ireland.
Happy St.Patrick's Day!
Halo Marion

I hope your family and you will have good celebrate on 17th March.

Hi Marion and students,
I forgot to wish you happy St Patrick 's Day and to give you an article from my local newspaper where they talk about a gelato maker in Leichhardt who has created a ....corned beef and cabbage gelato and also a Guiness flavoured sorbet to celebrate the day!
Hi,
This is a comment for megabyt (Brain) who left the answer to the exotic country in our class 2007. I can't leave comments in her blog, she has t enable comments in settings (I think).
It is not Cuba and it's only one country, not many. Definitely the right part of the world and the right culture! Well done!
