Week 5

Click to play this Smilebox slideshow: Our first excursion

G'day all

Well, we had a lovely excursion last Tuesday to celebrate International Women's Day! The weather was great and so was the experience. All the ladies from AMEP-A and B attended their first Aboriginal smoking ceremony, had a walk in the bush and saw and patted some small native animals. We were also treated to some impromptu Lebanese dancing and listened to Annie talk about the depression she suffered shortly after her arrival to Australia. Lunch wasn't bad either!
Meanwhile our men were involved in a workshop about Australian workplace culture and coping with migrating to a new country. I'm sure they got a lot out of it but perhaps it was not what they expected. I'll try and make it up to them!

Today, I'd like you all to write a recount of our excursion last Tuesday. If you didn't go on the excursion, then I'd like you to write a recount of how you spent your day! Remember to use the correct structure: orientation, sequence (list) of events, a closure or reorientation.

When you have done that you can start on your photostory. Ask me how to get started! If you don't have any photos, you can use some of mine for now.

If you still have time check out the questions here on Ireland's National Day, St Patrick's Day which will be celebrated on Wed 17 March.

Have a good week and happy blogging!
