Today we went to the park near Box Hill hospital and did a speaking activity. The temperature was 27 and it was great to have some fresh air. We enjoyed talking in pairs and no student was allowed to work with another student from the same country. Our class is not only about learning English, it is about making friends and learning about other cultures too. We hope that next week the weather will be OK so we can have another outing. It took us about half an hour to do the activity and walk back to class.
The park was busy with people having their lunch there. The students from Burma started feeling more confident in class. They started making friends with students from other cultures. This is great.
Next time remember to bring your sunglasses or hats if it is going to be too sunny. Melbourne's weather is always changing.
I just want to remind you of our Spring Celebration Day at AMES on Tuesday 27th October. We will start at 11 o'clock. On this day you can wear your beautiful traditional clothes. There will be a room for women to change their clothes in. There will also be another room for men. We need to have some students who can sing or play music. You can bring a CD that has your favourite music. You can also bring food from your culture for other students to try. The teachers will also sing for you. (I am not certain I can be among them). I am sure there will be a lot of fun.
