Week 7

This album is powered by BubbleShare - Add to my blog

Well what can I say? You were all FANTASTIC yesterday at the Car & Bike Expo! It was great hearing you use your English as you handed out show bags, evaluation forms, raffle tickets and food. You spoke clearly, were polite and very friendly. I had some very positive feedback from teachers from other sections about you all. Well done!

Last week we had a great excursion to Bundeena, didn't we? Not even the rain could dampen our spirits!!! I do hope you had an enjoyable day and got something out of it! I'm looking forward to seeing all the photos from the day.

Sally told me today about an article in the Sydney Morning Herald. Have a look at the article and answer these questions.
  • What is the article about?
  • When was it in the paper?
  • Which place is mentioned that you've recently visited?
  • Name 2 ways to get there.
  • What were the local people called?
  • Name 4 activities the locals used to do.
  • What's the beach called?
  • Name 3 things you can see there.

Use these answers to help you write a short information report about Bundeena. Use the guide from aa recent post to help you with the structure.

Then you can write a recount of last week's excursion. Do you remember the stages and structure of a recount? Ask me for a hard copy of how to write a recount if you're unsure.

This article is called History set in stone.It was published on September 7, 2007 in the paper.

I have recently visited in Jibbon Head, Bundeena.Everyone can go Bandina by ferry from Cronulla or drive through the Royal National park to this charming outpost.

The local people is called Dharawal.The local people used to swim, fish, make canoes from bark,carv etc.
The beach is called Jibbon beach.
I can see a huge sandstone. Outcrop with carvings that include a local mummager (law given), a stingray, a killer whale more than 11 metres long, a tutle, a kangaroo and a murrera.
