| Customize your own free digital slideshow It's a real pity that the whole class wasn't able to share in our excursion last Wednesday. It was a beautiful sunny day and the students who came had a good time. We explored some of the significant areas of Sydney's past which help to throw light on to the places being researched for the oral presentation. I'd like to sincerely thank the students who attended and commend you on your behaviour on the day. Everyone got on well together and eagerly went where they were told and completed the activities in the Rocks Discovery Museum with enthusiasm and good humour! Thank you! |

Our excursion to The Rocks
Monday, May 27, 2013
Week 5
G'day all
I'm sorry about not posting anything last week but I just ran out of time. I also wanted you to work on researching the topic for your oral presentation so I felt it wasn't imperative to set class work for you to do. How is your research coming along?
This morning we started looking at the topic of Media. If you have time, open this link, click on Topic 8 print off the text and then open Topic 9 to see the questions. Complete the activity.
If you still have time, search for The Sydney Morning Herald and The Daily Telegraph. Look at the front page of each. Choose a story from one paper and write a short summary of it in your blog. If you try answering the questions- who, what, when, where and why or how, you should be able to put the summary together. Remember to include the title and source. Use your own words to retell the events.
Good luck! Don't forget our excursion on Wednesday! We'll confirm tomorrow that it's happening if we see an adverse weather forecast!

Week 3
G'day all
I hope all you mothers had a lovely day yesterday and that your families spoiled you rotten! What did you do to 'celebrate' the day or what did your families do for you? Was it Mother's Day in your birth country too? Put a short comment at the end of this blog answering the above questions.
Did you enjoy working on The Big Scam last Monday? I don't think everyone has handed in the worksheets yet! I hope I get the rest of them today!
I talked last week about using PowerPoint as part of your oral presentation so today you can start practising using it! Have a look at this YouTube video explaining how to use it. If you need to get more information then have a look at some other links for help. My home internet is running very, very slowly because my daughter has been downloading a lot of shows recently so I couln't do anything on the blog at home. As a result, I couldn't access my little presentation!
When you have had a look at the tutorials, then it's time to start a little practice. Choose an Australian animal. Look up some information and pictures of it and make a little PowerPoint presentation. If you don't finish then remember to save it on a USB so you can retrieve it next week.
Good luck! Happy blogging!

Week 2

| South Cronulla |
I hope you had an enjoyable weekend. The weather was lovely again wasn't it? My husband and I met some friends for breakfast in Cronulla yesterday. It was so busy because it was such a lovely morning! The sun was so bright I actually had a problem taking the photo!
Last week I tried to create a Facebook group for this class but I couldn't get anything to upload! Perhaps today I'll just get your Facebook details and try from home!
Today I'd like you to publish your recount about the holidays if you haven't already done so. Then I'd like you to go this link and complete the activity. Follow the text and you'll have no problem working out who dunnit????
If you get through that, talk to me and I'll give you something else to work on!
Have a good week and happy blogging!
