Week 6


Ned Kelly and his famous armour!




G'day all

I hope you had a good weekend. I did! On Friday night I had some friends around to help me belatedly celebrate St Patrick's Day! We had lots of good food, music and conversation! Some of us even managed to have a bit of a dance!

It was great to see your recounts on your blogs this week. Unfortunately, my printer didn't have any ink when I went to print them out on Sunday evening and all the shops were closed. Perhaps you can print them today for me so I can correct them for you.

I also found out that Photostory 3 is hiding on the desktop so we should be able to locate that today. I'll tell you where to look!

When we were singing I am Australian last Tuesday, the bushranger Ned Kelly was mentioned. Read this text and answer the questions about him.

We also had a look athe gerund. See if you can complete this short grammar exercise on it!

Wednesday is Harmony Day. Go on Google and find out what it is. How is it celebrated? Is it only in Australia or anywhere else? Post your answers in your blog. As we are talking about harmony and migrants, have a listen to this podcast and complete the activity in your blog post. Can you link it with Harmony Day?

Finally, can you tell me what's happening in Australia next Saturday night? Will it be happening anywhere else in the world? What will you be doing for it? Post a comment on my blog!

Have a good week and happy blogging!

Earth Hour is a global event organized by WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature, also known as World Wildlife Fund) and is held on the last Saturday of March annually, asking households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights and other electrical appliances for one hour to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change. Earth hour was conceived by WWF and The Sydney Morning Herald in 2007, when 2.2 million residents of Sydney participated by turning off all non-essential lights.
Following Sydney's lead, many other cities around the world adopted the event in 2008.
Earth Hour 2010 will take place on March 27, 2010 from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., local time.
